Silentyarn

These Web TV channels that bitlanders created follow a certain theme.  From its name Silentyarn alone, there is already the idea of silent films.  That is what Silentyarn is all about.  It features silent films and movies.

One such film is The Night Before Christmas.

 

Twas the Night Before Christmas (Edwin S. Porter)

 

This movie was created in 1905.  It is an American silent film directed by Edwin S. Porter.  He made this film for the Edison Manufacturing Company, a company established by Thomas Edison in 1889.  This is based from the poem of Clement Clark Moore entitled A Visit From St. Nicholas or more popularly known as Twas the Night Before Christmas.

The movie starts with Santa Claus feeding reindeers.  He then prepared toys in his workshop.  The film went on based on the poem Twas the Night Before Christmas.  Some verses were also shown in the film.   This is the very first film based on that poem.  At least 1,600 feet of film was shot and around 700 feet was used in making this film.

Harry Eytinge played the role of Santa Claus in this film.  He was born in Pennsylvania and died in New York.  Some of his works include The Old Fire House and The Hair Restorer and the Indians.  Check out his other films here.

Another version of Twas the Night Before Christmas was released in 1974.  This was an animated film.
