I find it interesting that this clip doesn’t make everyone look like they’re going 100 mph like most film of that era.
That would be the result of taking film that had been hand-cranked through a camera at 12-15 fps and running it through a motorized projector at 18 or even 24 fps.
“...doesn’t make everyone look like they’re going 100 mph like most film of that era.”
My old man splurged for their honeymoon trip back in 1939 and bought a home movie camera. Of course my old man was a lot smarter than most folks, so in order to make it look “normal” he had my mom (and him) move VEEERRRRY slowly - walking around the hotel suite, sitting on the bed, brushing her hair, etc.
Of course when they got it developed (or whatever they did with those long spools of film) it showed them doing everything in slow motion! My 90 year old mom can barely tell that story due to all of her laughing!
