History of Motion Pictures - Production Technologies - Volume-I (2-DVD Set): History of Motion Pictures Production Technologies VolumeI 2DVD Set |
| Product Description : For over a century, motion pictures have continued to be the chief source of entertainment to many the world over. A result of man?s continued endeavor to make life better, motion pictures owe their existence to many inventors who burned the midnight oil in the pursuit of perfecting scientific inventions. Among these, the name of Thomas Alva Edison holds a revered position. With over a thousand patents to his credit, Edison must have been one busy scientist. It was Edison?s incandescent lamp that paved the way for the makings of the movie projector and opened the floodgates for a new form of entertainment that gradually overtook the theatre. This 2-DVD set presents a solid overview of how the motion picture projector works and how it must be handled for best results. A delightful clip also shows you how sound was recorded for dramatized radio broadcasts in the 30s. It?s amazing to learn what a strip of cellophane paper could do in the hands of an expert in a recording studio. Two natural phenomena that are essential to the production of motion pictures - light and sound are also examined and explained here in an admirably entertaining manner. The significance of each of these marvels cannot be overlooked or missed on these clips. Although the emergence of newer technologies such as videos and DVDS have made the 16 mm projector more or less redundant, its contribution to both entertainment and education cannot be overemphasized. There is about 2 hours of entertainment and education packed into this set - which is a great collection of well-preserved clips from the 30s and 50s - and any history buff or vintage film aficionado would do well to add this historic and edifying set to his or her collection right away. |
