A different point of view

 

Panorama from Top of a Moving Train (1898)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. We see the view from the top of a moving train.


There are a number of panoramas from moving trains knocking about from this period however this is the only one I have seen with the camera placed on top of the train. The camera placement makes this one more exciting than the usual even if the scenery is nothing special. A nice break from he usual.
