Does it ever change?

 Changing Guard (Berlin) (1897)

Directed by William K. L. Dickson this is an early short film. German military on parade passes the camera.

Decent shot, film seems to have survived pretty well. You can pick out a lot of the details on the men passing the camera. Makes you wonder how many were still serving in the army in 1914.

3/5

Not actually surviving

 Duncan Smoking (1891)

Directed by William K. L. Dickson and William Heise this is an early short film. A man smokes a pipe.

Not clear that the films online claiming to be this are actually the film and not a couple of stills from it. As presented it is not a film. Images are poor quality too.
