In the latest installment of InsuranceQuotes’ “Hidden Costs Video Series,” the insurance info provider put together an aging video using moving pictures of people from the ages of 0-102. A lot like the viral video of photographer Frans Hofmeester’s daughter Lotte, it shows the process of aging through tiny snippets of video.
The video is really about the hidden costs of aging, covering the facts from an inspirational and heartwarming angle rather than the depressing version where costs skyrocket as we age. And even though they skip ages 81 through 101, we still enjoyed the journey all the way from Eason at age 0 to Evelyn at age 102. We hope you do too.
The world’s first color moving pictures have been discovered, dating back to 1902. The film sat forgotten in an old metal tin for 110 years before being found recently by Michael Harvey, the Curator of Cinematography at the National Media Museum in England. The pictures were part of a test reel of early color experiments by an Edwardian inventor named Edward Raymond Turner, and show Turners children, soldiers marching, domesticated birds, and even a girl on a swing set.
