True enough. I guess I'm stuck with the modern lingo. I know very early movie cameras were hard cranked, but the video quality of this film is very smooth, with none of that usual "hurried" motion one often expects with movies of that vintage. It's all the more remarkable in that the film was shot not on a stage with a stationary movie camera, but on the street. It's like an early version of a mobile video van!
I love seeing the footage because it is unrehearsed, unlike many films of that vintage. You really get the sense your transported back in time, 100 years ago.
