Product Description : The 60 thrilling clips that make up this fascinating DVD set from a2zcds.com serve many purposes. Firstly, they are a tribute to the genius and persistence of the inimitable inventor Thomas Alva Edison. This enterprising man was difficult to please and set pretty stiff standards both for himself and for those on his payroll. The results of his vision and entrepreneurial acumen are evident in the 1000+ patents that bear his name. Edison took entertainment to a new level in America. Having realized that the first motion picture clips - sans story lines - soon lost their magical influence on audiences, Edison hired the best talent available and set about filming short stories and documenting historic events. Some of these earliest motion pictures are a part of this set. Secondly, these clips record some of the most unforgettable moments in America?s history from the turn of the last century. Had it not been for Edison?s busy camera crew, events such as President McKinley's funeral would have remained a textual record in history books. Vivid memories of other events such as the biggest-ever exposition in Buffalo, New York, are also captured in a charming manner. Thirdly, these clips record lifestyles and philosophies of Americans at the beginning of the 20th century. You learn about what people thought as being funny and what was significant enough to be filmed. It would indeed have been unfortunate if such historic and invaluable vintage films were allowed to languish in some neglected corner of an archive. A2zcds has done the world a huge service by preserving these clips on DVD and placing them within reach of everybody.
