About This Book

The book surveys the development and mechanics of motion photography, tracing early experiments and the search for suitable film stock. It explains how celluloid film is manufactured, perforated, developed, printed, and projected, and describes camera and studio design. Chapters detail staging and production of picture plays, topical and scenic filming, and the organization of picture theatres. A substantial section examines trick cinematography and special effects methods, including stop-substitution, double exposures, miniatures, and electric-spark techniques. The author also explores scientific and educational applications, color processes, emerging sound technology, home exhibition, and the industry's commercial expansion.
