rfmcdonaldSome days ago, Crooked Timber's Harry Farrell posted a link to a colour film taken in London in 1927. I can go him one better: see the Roundhay Garden Scene, taken in 1888.
It's brief and two seconds long and the plot development--as a YouTube commenter notes--isn't much, but still, it is.
A question to everyone: How much earlier do you think that movies, moving pictures, whatever, could have been taken? Was the technology doomed to emerge as late as the 1880s, or do you think that it could have come before?
