History of Motion Pictures - The Fascinating World of Filmmakers (2-DVD Set): History of Motion Pictures The Fascinating World of Filmmakers 2DVD Set |
| Product Description : Rigors of modern day living seldom permit us the luxury of examining how things work. Not surprisingly, we take most scientific inventions for granted. This 2-DVD set is primarily intended to show you how things worked in a film studio over half a century ago. Although movie technology has undergone a sea change, the fundamental concepts that govern filmmaking have remained unchanged; making this set an invaluable historic and educational treasure. Found here are fabulous examples of early educational documentaries. Riveting clips explain how sound is recorded on film and how persistence of vision is a blessing to motion picture buffs. The beautifully dramatized discourse on preservation of films (Murder on the Screen) brings into sharp focus the passion with which filmmakers guarded their handiwork back then. Also featured here is some delightful slow motion footage of graceful gymnasts, something that may have evoked a great deal of ?oohs? and ?ahhs? from audiences over fifty years ago. Equally delightful is the revelation of how filmmakers and consumer goods manufacturers harnessed the magical lure of motion pictures to advertise their wares. Among the first to cash in on this opportunity was Chevrolet. Using innovations such as animation, slow motion photography and color films, this automobile manufacturer brought the show room right into movie theatres. All in all, this is an engrossing journey into the world of films and I enjoyed every moment of it. |
