When we first started the manufacture of ]\/\.(l^lC L^dtltCKtlS wc made it a special point to use but the very best Optic. Owing to this principle which we have adhered to, even in the manufacture of our cheapest Lanterns our goods are to-day everywhere appreciated and well known all over the market Trade- Mark. By continual endeavours we have succeeded, that no Lantern of ours leaves the factory without being perfectly tested as to its correct optic, and the pictures produced are therefore distinct, clear and sufficiently large The selection Cinematographs which we offer to-day to our cus- tomers has been considerably increased by adding to same a series of new, cheaper lines, which are at the same time well finished and guaranteed to work properly. As regards the more expensive Cinematographs we beg to draw your attention to a special advantage viz., noiseless working combined with excellent re-production of Living Pictures. Our selection of Magic Lantern Slides has also again been enlarged, and your special attention is drawn to the sets of artistic pictures which were sketched and painted by a well known Artist. The section Stereoscopes has also been supplemented through a number of new Patterns, the finish of which is in every respect reliable and elegant, the greatest care being taken also regarding the Optic of these lines.

The two periods were characterized by normal to above- average amounts of snow accumulation during winter, and moderate to substantial melt rates in summer. The results presented in this report reflect the weather conditions in the measurement periods as well as the effects of ongoing global warming over the past decades.

  • Photography and Animation
    REFRAMING PHOTOGRAPHY photo and animation PHOTOGRAPHY AND ANIMATION: ANIMATING IMAGES THROUGH OPTICAL TOYS AND OTHER AMUSEMENTS course number: instructor’s name: room number: office number: course day and times: instructor’s email Office Hours: Ex: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:45am -1:15pm or email to set up an appointment. COURSE DESCRIPTION Before modern cinema, 19th century optical toys such as the “wonder turner” and the “wheel of the Devil” entertained through the illusion of motion. In this class, you’ll animate still photographic images. You’ll learn to make thaumatropes, flipbooks, and zoetropes, devices that rely upon the persistence of vision, and you’ll create other entertaining objects such as an animated exquisite corpse, tunnel books, strip animations, and moving panoramas. You’ll learn to construct these devices and effectively create an illusion with each. The main focus of the course will be on the development your ideas. COURSE PROJECTS There will be three projects in which you will create an artwork based on a particular early animation device. For these projects, you will create images and build the optical device based on your ideas as an artist. All projects will be evaluated on the strength of your ideas, the inventiveness of your use of the device, the craft of the images and object, and the success of the final illusion. PROJECT 1: flip books PROJECT 2: thaumatropes PROJECT 3: zoetrope COURSE WORKSHOPS There will be five in-class workshops that provide an entry point into experimenting with the larger project, or that allow you to play with other types of devices and illusions.

Last spring a ‘magic moment’ happened at an afternoon screening of Martin Scorsese’s 3D film Hugo (2011). When the end credits were scrolling across the huge screen-wall and the audience was leaving the auditorium, a little girl ran to the front. At first a bit hesitant, she reached up and touched the screen.

  • Forms of Machines, Forms of Movement
    Forms of Machines, Forms of Movement Benoît Turquety for Hadrien Fac-similes In a documentary produced in 1996-1997, American filmmaker Stan Bra- khage, who spent much of his life painting and scratching film, stated that One of the major things in film is that you have 24 beats in a second, or 16 beats or whatever speed the projector is running at. It is a medium that has a base beat, that is intrinsically baroque. And aesthetically speaking, it’s just appalling to me to try to watch, for example, as I did, Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin on video: it dulls all the rhythm of the editing. Because video looks, in comparison to the sharp, hard clarities of snapping individual frames, and what that produces at the cut, video looks like a pudding, that’s virtually uncuttable, like a jello. It’s all ashake with itself. And furthermore, as a colorist, it doesn’t interest me, because it is whatever color anyone sets their receptor to. It has no fixed color.1 Each optical machine produces a specific mode of perception. Canadian filmmaker Norman McLaren also devoted an essential part of his work to research on the material of film itself, making films with or without camera through all kinds of methods, drawing, painting, scratching film, develop- ing a reflection on what a film frame is and what happens in the interval between two images. Yet today his work is distributed by the National Film Board of Canada only in digital format, and such prestigious institutions as the Centre Pompidou in Paris project it that way – even as the compression of digital files required by their transfer on DVD pretty much abolishes the fundamental cell that is the single frame.
