Pencil Animation: Betty Skelton, airplane stunts 1940s
มุมมอง 106ปีที่แล้ว
This pencil animation was made in honor of Betty Skelton, "The First Lady of Firsts." Skelton lived an amazing life, flying a biplane as a teenager and then later racing cars and even working with NASA. This animation took over a month to create. I used various photo references and based the "walk-by" and plane stunts on a film from the late 1940s. I took a lot of film stills and began by repro...

INVENTION OF FILM
มุมมอง 91ปีที่แล้ว
Before the motion picture was invented, there was the still photograph. A man named Eadweard Muybridge was hired to determine what a horse looked like when it was running. Muybridge created a row of cameras that would snap a photo when a horse ran over trip threads he lay on the ground. It was soon discovered that when the images were flipped, the horse became animated. In came Thomas Edison to...

Cool
Love this!!😂😂😂
thank you!
@@meghanmccarthyauthor You are welcome, a simple treasure on the net.🙂
Super 👍
Un ídolo para mí. Buster Keaton inigualable 💜💜💜💜
Hey, just a quick correction for 2:45, it is Steamboat BillJr 1928, not The Blacksmith 1922.
So this is where they got the inspiration for certain scenes in the movie Krull🙄
One Tough Man!WOW!
He actually appeared in an early Twilight episode where he talks.
Ooh, I'll have to check this out! He has a very deep voice, which I think works well for sound.
@@meghanmccarthyauthor It was from all the cigarettes he smoked.
Too cool! Found your channel, and going to share it with others. Loved this!
Crazy good Fx. 🤓😎✌🏻
Кинотрюкимистеос Китона завораживают!!!❤😂🎉
Buster invented parkour way before it became popular
Terribel music in the background !
Mr. Keaton was not right in the head and we love him for it.
The music is too damn loud, and superfluous to boot.
My great great Grand-father was born in 1888. He was Irish. Buster Keaton was his favorite actor with Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. He passed away in 1989 at 101. Until the end he watched the movies of his youth and laughed like if it was the fist time he watched them.
Buster was amazing. I always loved Jackie Chan movies for his insane stunts but Buster was even more crazy than Jackie. He made so many crazy stunts look easy but it had to have taken a heavy toll on his body.
Jackie Chan has got nothing on Buster
It would be called 'cruelty to children' now but both Buster Keaton and Jackie Chan (and Sammo Hung) grew up the hard way with tough parents or teachers. And they produced amazing comedy stunts. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I've pondered this myself.
More.
He is the American jacki chan!!
Thanks
It says at the top that the interview was done in 1960!
Thanks
My grandfather was born in 1909, he used to call me “Buster” when I was a kid, I didn’t like being called that. I have adhd and was always very active and mischievous. My mother explained to me who Buster Keaton was and how my grandfather was a huge fan of his. I loved being called Buster after that.
I had ADHD as well. I would have loved the nickname!
🎉 Why the overwhelming background music ????
Might have been better without the stupid music
"Promo SM"
Nobody had the athletic ability of BUSTER...ONE IN 100,000,000 !
If only he knew we would be laughing 100+ years later!
He knews.
I love him and I'm so glad he survived all this!
but he lived in constant pain and self medicated the studio treated him and others like crap no healthcare or disability and when the drinking problem became severe, they tossed him aside
Buster died in 1966, so how was he interviewed in 1968?
Ugh you’re right. The interview was 1960. I mistyped
I cut the intro out - thanks for the heads up
He wasn't. He indeed died 1 Febuary 1966.
Well busted was able to do anything throughout his life. And if was asked for interview after he died he would gladly come back the answer a few more questions. This man so many cat lives. Just sitting through one of his episodes and seeing all the amazing stunts he did in it, you would say man that's enough one lifetime but he keeps coming back with more amazin energy and stunts. What an amazing legacy and thanks for your channel and for TH-cam for putting it all for us
Because Houdini named him Buster, but he's real name is St Germain 👽
Q, zen 6o 90
Music is a bit low. I can almost hear what they're saying.
King off comedy,no more else like him
Might of made good listening but for super loud music. Great way to ruin a video
Man if he had made it to the other building it would have broken the record for the longest leap.
Music ruined it but the narration was worse.
the background music is very disturbing
I'm sorry you were disturbed by the music. This video was aimed at younger people who might not know who Keaton is. I'm trying to build the next generation of Keaton lovers. The music is 80s inspired but with a modern twist called "synth wave" or "cyber punk." For the next one I'll add jazz or something for a larger audience.
@@meghanmccarthyauthor thanks that would be wonderful(because the music is also sometimes louder then the speaker)
@@EROLaliasKIZILMASKE I actually lowered the music each time one of them spoke - the problem the interview is audio from the 60s and not the best quality. What I'd have to do is edit the audio--remove the static noise, bring up the vocals on especially the interviewer, and then put it into a video and sink up clips that match what they're talking about. That's a longer project I plan on doing at some point.
@@EROLaliasKIZILMASKE Try this clip out - no music behind talking! I also added subtitles for those hard of hearing. th-cam.com/video/pLAOBmToimM/w-d-xo.html
@@meghanmccarthyauthor Thank you. No need for music when the subject is interesting. The most appropriate music would be that of the silent era, young people need to know this music.
if the background music was where it should have been "IN THE BACKGROUND" this might have been worth watching.. fail.
Interesting, but bothering music.
Nice music.
I love the part with the ladder. It’s so creative with physics.
Wife's little sister since born always pointed out airplanes, she must see me always stop and watch them. She was 6-7 I think and her birthday we went to Chicago for weekend and I got her a bi plane ride. Guy would do aerobatic but we were side by side and there off the weight. He still did some stalls and a friend's private airport we did touch and go. He left the door off and bray got the door seat haha The first stall she grabs my leg I said it's ok and the rest she was fine with If you have a chance it's so worth it I hope to go to Washington and do the wing walking some time
wow - fun!
I love everything about Buster Keaton
So awesome, Meghan! Your book looks incredible...Love it! I watched the SEABISCUIT movie from '03 for the FIRST TIME shortly before XMAS and it was great! Congratulations and Many Cheers! From, -Mikey (we met thru the LOCALS social app, gosh, I guess it's a couple years ago now! I hope all is well and that life is good!) 😁
Hey Mikey, thank you! I hope you are doing well.
