Before Hollywood : from shadow play to the silver screen

Author:	Paul Clee
Publisher:	New York : Clarion Books, 2005.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Provides a history of cinematography from Leonardo da Vinci's description of the camera obscura in 1500, through the movie palaces of the early twentieth century, focusing on the technical equipment and supplies used in the industry. Illustrated with black-and-white archival prints, drawings, and photographs, from the simple camera obscurance of the 1500s to the 17th century's giant magic lanterns to the early films of Thomas Edison and the Lumiére brothers in the late 1800s, here is an intriguing story of invention and showmanship. Many of the techniques adopted by Hollywood were worked out by tinkerers, lanternists, and magicians in front of shocked and amazed audiences long before the first flickering black-and-white film was ever shown. This fascinating book explains how today's movies, as well as photographs, special effects, and animation came to be. Peppered with first-hand accounts and newspaper reports, excerpts from the notes of early inventors and filmmakers, and descriptions and diagrams of detailed optical gadgets, before Hollywood provides a window into the world of entertainment before movies were invented. It offers an illustrated tour of the beginnings of technologies that we take for granted today. Sidebars, afterword, timeline, endnotes, bibliography, internet resources, and index. Clee delivers an intriguing story of invention and showmanship that explains how today's movies, as well as photos, special effects, and animation came to be.--  Read more...
