They featured this film, and the fellow that did research on when it was made, on the 60 Minutes the other night…. But they didn’t show the “after” film you guys have, it was a different one. I think the one on here makes a much better contrast. From this film….to one that looks like a hurricane came through.

I loved this new version!
Then 4 days later the big earthquake happened.. My Grandmother came from Steilecom, Washington to help her sister at her boarding house which had survived the quake.

My Grandfather and his brothers came to help clean up the city and stayed in the boarding house.
They met.. married and had 10 children on their ranch in Smith Valley, Nevada

Thanks for posting this and the one after the quake/ fire. It’s great to see the way things really looked in 1906 – not just ‘movie’ versions…..i didn’t know that there were videos taken after the quake/ fire – i thought it was just stills……

would be great if someone could “normalize” this footage — I don’t know what the real term is — that same technique they did with the zapruder and the bigfoot footage where they eliminate camera shake by repositioning each frame keeping a given point in the image pinned down. Would be tricker with this because a given reference point is shifting as the camera is moving, but doable (probably you’d use the vanishing point, on the clock tower) for the locked point.
