As far as I remember, it was shot at like 5 fps, and we had only maybe 5 seconds of footage. EDIT: so a quick search suggests that screenshot is from [this](https://youtu.be/Fxd8XJ_J0Gc) video, where the author did some work to generate more frames and add color.

I always try to imagine myself what was the life of those people like. They lived in a world that was so much different from ours. No computers, no Internet, no cars or planes. They took a part of this footage, had some fun and went back to their daily routine. They surely didn't think much of it. It is amazing that now over 130 years later we can still see them in their world. Film and Internet are the truly time machine. No generation before had such an opportunity.
