This film, also from 1906, is an early attempt at recreating the disaster for film audiences. In other words, this is the great-grandaddy of today's computer-generated graphics!

SUMMARY

This film shows the partial burning of a small-scale model of downtown San Francisco in an early attempt at simulating the 1906 disaster. The model is seen in aerial view from above the South-of-Market district, looking northwest toward Market Street and the downtown area. Russian Hill (left) and Telegraph Hill (right) are shown in a painted background. Copyright: American Mutoscope & Biograph Co.; 19 May 1906; H77924. See this link.
