  • Sounds rally cool. How and where are the movie clips collected, and how is it verified that they are in public domain?

  • I guess someone will need to clone this site with a search function, categorization, and proper pagination. Nice attempt, though.

  • If you are feeling inspired by the project to edit a found footage awesome thing, here's https://mobygratis.com - an amazing gift to filmmakers and a pretty snazzy listening experience for (semi-)library music.

    And 1932! https://www.movingimagearchive.com/sources/san-francisco-by-...

  • I don't see how to access the search function. All I see are example videos.

  • Page loads way too slowly IMO. Even the youtube page loads somewhat slowly, but it is about 10x faster than that webpage. There is no need for these fancypants animations really. I am not going to wait for slow animations to finish.

  • This is really lovely. I think it's pretty obvious that it bases on sources like Internet Archive and the Library of Congress, but it does add value.

    I just wonder if it can survive - is there a business model here? If not, it's just a tech demo and then it doesn't have value as the hosted version, it would have it if the whole processing/indexing pipeline was open sourced so that anyone can host it themselves and pay for their own infrastructure.
