The pictured story traces the production of a Hollywood feature release from the unperforated raw film to the eventual shipment of 16mm reduction sound prints in labeled metal containers." School management "This film offers a clear, vivid, extremely compact presentation of the mechanical, electrical and visual principles behind modern talking movie films. It illustrates 'persistence of vision,' the momentary retention of images within the eye which alone makes possible the illusion of motion on the screen. "The part played by each successive machine— perforator, camera, developing machine, splicer, printer, projector — is then made clear. The recording of sound on the film and its reproduction are portrayed by animated drawings . . . and by showing an actual image of the sound track of the voice explaining how sound reproduction takes place. "A particularly full teachers' pamphlet accompanies the film. Features are an historical outline of the moving; picture idea from 1600 B.C. to the present time — a list of needed technical terms — a vocabulary aid on words new to pupils — and especially a series of selected stills from the film with elaborate explanatory captions giving the contents in continuity form." Educational screen "This film is particularly beneficial for club use, physics classes, visual education courses, and for teachers who use movies. In fact anyone who is interested in going to the movies would be benefited by learning how films are made." James S. Kinder "A bit technical for regular students. Difficult to grasp so quickly."

Space "Teachers of photography struck youngsters will welcome this excellent production. No less valuable will this film be for amateur cinematographers in general, for the production has a general interest and appeal. A carefully edited script has been skillfully transferred to the silent screen to make clear as only the close-up of a camera can do, the reasons for doing and for avoiding doing certain things in cinematography. The absence of a sound track is, in this instance, a treat for there is no distraction from observing carefully the action which occurs on the screen.' Collaborator NC HOW YOU SEE IT. lOmin 16-sd-$36.50 1941 Jam Handy 791.4 jh-sh Tells the story of persistence of vision and how it makes motion pictures possible. Animated drawings show how the image of an object is transmitted by the optic nerve to the brain, and how the image fades, instead of stopping abruptly when the object is removed from the field of vision. Application of the principle to a series of photographs makes them appear in a continuous unbroken motion. Animation and photography illustrate the construction of the motion picture projector, and the optical reasons for shutter, lens, and sprockets 111 $1.50 SuF $2 Io 75c TexVE $1.50 Okla $1 VES 354
