The earliest moving images of Jerusalem were taken in 1896, by cameramen hired by the Lumière Brothers, a pioneering French film company. One specific, significant piece of footage from this period shows the Jaffa Gate and was filmed by Alexandre Promio in April 1897


this suddenly makes so much more sense

Is that a donkey at 14 seconds or a squeaky wheel?

Whatever it is I think it's artificial as I don't believe they could record synchronous audio at the time anyway.

The NPC's in the back right just stare a wall the whole video, seems like AI to me.

Is that real?

Why the hell did they have silent movies if that tech was available in 1897?

Was video recording that fps back in 1897?

I'm guessing AI.

I'm wondering if the audio is added. Something about the two kids acting goofy for the camera makes me think it could be real.

Still though, that looks way better than any silent film.
