Accordion Player

I know it's only 3 seconds long, but you can feel the rhythm and hear the whimsical tune of the accordion. If you put it on a loop, it looks like an early Shakira hip-shaking routine in the making. Quite special!

In all truth, this is simply one of the very earliest examples of cinema anywhere. Along with the "Roundhay Garden Scene" and the "Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge" -- you've covered the entire year of film making in a minute!

But it was a groundbreaking year, as the first motion pictures officially made their debut, and improvements have been made ever since. To me it is a remarkable feat to see so far into the past... even just a short glimpse.
