From 1936 I think, this is a black and white movie that tries to explain how motion pictures work and why we see a continuing sequence of images.
Old movies are pretty interesting because they look so simple. We have become so used to special effects and computer animation. Seeing simple diagrams in a video and still being entertained, almost seems foreign.
The movie description is this
“MOTION PICTURES ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY PERSISTENCE OF VISION. ITS PRINCIPLES EXPLAINED WITH ANIMATION, DIAGRAMS. STUNT DRIVER ROLLS CAR OVER. GOOD SHOTS AUDIENCES, PATRONS ENTERING THEATRE, PROJECTION EQUIPMENT. PROCESS SHOT OF AUDIENCE WATCHING FILM.”
This movie is narrated and has all sorts of diagrams and visuals to help with the explanation of how movies work. There is also a big crash at the end, starring a Chevy, of course.
This is so cool. This is a video of a science experiment that makes ice within seconds just by touching the liquid. Being able to create sculptures with the mixture also looks like so much fun. I gotta try this. Better go find some sodium accitate.
Here is another vintage movie. This silent black and white film is called The Magician and made by Thomas Edison. It shows a magic act and filmed in 1900, cool stuff
This is maybe one of the first dinosaur movies ever, The dinosaur and the missing link, a prehistoric tragedy part two (1917). It was made by Thomas Edison and is 2 parts. A long way from Jurassic Park. But very cool because it is so old, silent and Black and White.
I really can not tell if the dinosaur / caveman movie was made to be funny or historic. The dinosaur in the movie is great fun, I wish it was clearer.
