"Footage"?  The electrocution demonstrations of alternating current
happened in 1888 and 1889.  Though Edison did claim to have thought of
the kinetoscope in 1887, and though a model may have been built in 1889,
it's almost impossible for anyone to have any "footage" of any but the
fake kind of the electrocution demonstrations by Edison and Brown!
