This is what I love about special effects from the old days. You watch scenes like this one or the stargate sequence in 2001 or the parting of the red sea in The Ten Commandments, and you wonder "How did they do that?" "How did they make it look so convincing?" There was a great mystery to it. When you watch a Marvel flick today, there's no mystery as to how it was done. We know it was rendered on a computer, likely using After Effects or a similar program. The magic is lost when you know how the trick was done.

@ericschroeder33028 жыл бұрын
I took a silent film class as an elective in college. Most of these movies are practical effects. But anything they couldn't do in terms of practical effects they would paint onto each individual frame of the film reel by hand meticulously (about 30 frames per second) as for the transparent overlay im assuming they physically overlayed two frames on top of each other. They also used the painting technique to make movies have "color" before color film was a thing by actually painting each scene by hand. The craftsmanship on classic films is actually pretty insane.
@creatorsun82226 жыл бұрын
Eric Schroeder That's exactly what I thought. I myself have been wondering how stuff like this was made with all the visual effects. But I also thought of a solution that seems quite similar to your response. And I was right! So they actuallu did paint over the frames, which definetly makes sense, because computers never actually existed until later through the decades. People were still using artistic concepts in those days, and even WAY in the past before film was a thing. They couldn't develop cameras and all they had were paint and paper to sketch with to make portraits. People were ARTISTS. Movies are always depending on frames, not just movement itself, and the reason why I'm pointing that out is that the life we are living in today revolves around movement. Nothing is moving by frame in reality. But hey, it's still crazy to think that they painted a hand full of frames just to produce these films! #nerdgasm

If this is a prophesy that is true, it should be taken more metaphorically or else the trigger for the real fulfillment of it may just as easily slip between our awareness and cause similar effect. Those affected in the film were blissfully unaware of danger as they gradually but clearly became victims in the perspective of viewers. Just as the progression into negative behavior was unnoticeable to them, maybe the same can happen to us with the difference being that there won't be a camera to directly speed up the transformation for easy retrospective comparison.

The movie was originally shot at 16 frames per second, but modern hollywood re-releases switched it to the standard 24 fps. This decision ruined the pacing of the music and scenes. Try switching your playback speed to .75 if you want to watch this as it was originally intended. I think it makes the scene more dramatic.

Nope, I took this great once-in-every few years class "German 180Z" ("Loving the Dead" was the subtitle of Professor Rickles' class regarding early movies obsession with the alter ego's ability to cheat a judgment before death and also ultimately to cheat life and death equally.. with a hugely (baneful) Freudian bent; the Prof allowed me to bring my serpent child Simon to class. And strangely enough I had met him first in the antiquities room (very small, mostly oriental) at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. And I'd bump into this same Fascinating Dandy of an older man Each and Every time thereafter-- Museum=Rickles. But I'm inured by now to life's capricous intent to underscore the cyclical in this wondrous universe we get to become part of once the body becomes unnecessary. And remember: Death is a Process, and Natural. Trust your ability to heal; liken death to that.

The symbology of this film was ahead of its time. Prophetic! As we are living and experiencing in today's world with the advancements in technology. More specifically with A.I., robotics, bio-enchancements/engineering, epigenetics, etc. As well as the pentagram from esoteric and occult teachings inferring the connection between the enslaving of the human soul/spirit and consciousness into this material 3-dimensional plane of existence by "The Machine." Which can be also interpreted as the false god. Through which in this transhumanist era, humans are attached to their devices and technology such as their phones and the internet with social media and further more with Augmented reality and Virtual reality. The continual oppression and enslavement of the human soul and consciousness. Forcing and lowering their vibrational state of being... Dark Times indeed.

Rotwang, I was told, means "wet cheeks" in German, an euphemism for diaper rash. Rotwang was a pain in the ass to Joh's father. He was also the inspiration for many other "mad scientists" in movies to come, including Dr. Strangelove. The camera techniques and equipment were designed just for this film. I have the most fully restored version found on DVD -- the extras included explain a lot of the movie in detail. In the parts that are forever lost, they filled in with text from the original surviving documentation explaining what happened. Definitely a great movie for its time.

Love it, thanks for sharing!!! I saw this film some years ago in a theater, with life music performed by Art Zoyd, an unforgettable evening!!
