Not 1904, the camera was shaking and apeared to be digital. Almost all cameras back then were owned by companies and not handhelds. It would have been still if it were from 1904. I believe that the acrobatics was real though.
actually, the second frame shows a written date of april 24 1904. this suggests its legitimacy. The shaking could be from the projector and frams and lack of quality or old film.
yes we could. the kinetiscope was invented by thomas edison's company sometime between 1889 and 1892. movies are older than you think. George Meleis' "A Trip to the Moon" the first science fiction movie came out in 1902.
the backround is clearly fake, but at about 3 seconds in teh frame reads
april 29 1904 (in hand writing)
class h xxo,, n
45039 (in hand writing)

its the kind of label that was used, which may sugest some legitamacy, alltho seeings as it is on youtube its not like we can check the film for its age so we wont really know
