The Oldest Videos Ever Recorded 

I can only imagine the amount of research you had to do to find these things Eskify never ceases to amaze 🎉

Being from Cleveland I never expected to hear Eskify call it a magical place.

That first video of the oldest surviving film was filmed in Roundhay in Leeds (the city I live in) Just for the record, people still dance around like idiots here.

The Eskify Cult is here. We all love our prophet Eskify

"I have created the camera! It shall capture moving imagery and make events of the past themselves infinitely re-viewable!" "Cool. . . you know we're using this for sex stuff, right?" "Always part of the plan."

Eskify, why did I forget about this channel - I used to love it.

"Hey Barnaby, why are we slow dancing while this guy plays the violin to the giant metal drum?" "Who knows? Probably has something to do with an invention or patent Mr. Edison intends to steal." "Yeah, that tracks."

we all know the oldest video is me at the zoo

It’s been a while but I’ve seen you have upped the uploading and editing game tremendously. Love to see it from ya Eskify

Eskify always giving us the best videos ever

BRILLIANT as always Eskify! who knows, maybe in a 100 years the video 'Me at the zoo' will be seen in absolute awe inspiring to people as much as these videos from the late 1800's are to us .........or not ;)

I really miss your Plutocrat channel, I believe it was some of the most brilliant comedy.

I’ve been a Eskify subscriber for over 5 years. This is one of my favorite channels mate, you always make me laugh.

5:56 in my opinion those 2 robbers were essentially caught in 4K at the time

speaking of silent films i would love to see a video about the topic considering that there is still actor from that era left

Yay! What a lovely surprise to have a new video from Eskify!! ♥️♥️♥️

"but we have to draw the line somewhere". Words that I never thought I would hear Eskify say :p

I find these silent black and white films terrifying

I would say the 90s was the best decade ever, as I was born in the late 1980s

ANOTHER brilliant video from my favorite youtuber ever . Been binge watching your vids recently . Eskify 👑 CHEERS FROM VIRGINIA

Pretty cool they found the Dixon sound experiment, thanks!

I need a lot more of this kind of shit, and I need you to be a lot more well known, as you deserve. I'm a lazy bum though so you need to make these two things happen for me.

The way British people say "idiots" sounds hilarious to me 😂 🇺🇲🇬🇧

Very neat that the thumbnail is the same image as the cover for Burzum/Uruk-Hai compilation. Awesome

Old white man in back dancing in 1st clip dancing. Dance like nobody is watching. And they weren't until now, lol.

an idea for your next video would be the most dangerous stunts done by the 3 great silent film actors.Buster Keaton, HAROLD LLOYD and another, also you could end the video with jackie chan but i dont want to mislead you in anyway. or 'most dangerous stunts done by dwarfs so tom cruise and jackie chan maybe lol

Love your vids!!! You deserve more subscribers! cheers

I love the 1880s it's the bestest oldest decades ever. You can go on an adventure pretending you were in the Middle Ages

Live for Eskify vids! Why I have notifications on for only 3 channels including here & just found this today? I will be checking more often because new update for youtube sucks, and Eskify is AMAZING! Ty for this INCREDIBLE mini-doc with delightful sarcasm included with the narration. I❤ being an Eskifan.

I always thought that the first footage from Louis Le Prince WAS the first footage ever recorded. 🤔

"1888 was a fantastic year" Jack the Ripper

Well I guess people to do something until social media was invented🤷🏿‍♂️

I felt dumbstruck when I found Queen Victoria's funeral in 1901 was filmed! Other bits of film I find incredible are actual films of American slaves from when slavery was legal. They were child slaves before the Civil War and were quite old when they were filmed. Still it's amazing!

These are called films not videos.

Too bad most of these are gone or severely damaged

I literally was just watching something like this yesterday

That was really awesome!

Fascinating... cheers

One of your best videos

Thanks. Great stuff.

Great video thank you

Eskify! Super Yay! ❤

Best outro on RU-vid.

Awesome !!!

Ya before they yt and don’t forget it was before they tvs

Very interesting.

Two dudes close dancing weird

Cameras don’t even matter any more the criminal element don’t care . Jail time is three meals a day.😡

To be fair people in those days were cowards!! 😂 wonderful episode as ever

Anyone know the outro song?

People in those days were cowards. 😂

If you do 0.25 speed you can see each frame

Earliest films*

Sick

You mean "film", or even "moving pictures", but not video!

I was like 300❤

I love you so much.

I am early Mr Eskify 😊

You keep saying "Video" camera. Nope proper term is Film Camera. 1880's were along way off from the CCD and CMOS sensors being created.

I don't like onion baaji
