Douglas Trumbull - Film as Experience (1987)
มุมมอง 2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
A 1987 Japanese-made documentary about special effects genius and occasional Film Director, Douglas Trumbull. This documentary is not listed on IMDB. There are plenty of familiar talking heads featured, the majority of them sadly no longer with us. e.g. Roger Ebert, Robert Wise, Tony Scott, James Horner and Richard Donner. This promotional video seems to have been created to generate excitement...
33:52
My city in Australia was gifted a set of bells that are referred to in the Oranges And Lemons song. At the time we were so proud of this that we built a modern belltower to house them, and it became one of the symbols of the city that stands out on the foreshore. The belltower is no longer a symbol and it is overshadowed by the nearby quay development, but we still have the Bells of St Martins.
The problem with having such great "breakdown" music is that it acts as an incentive to sabotage your local BBC transmitter.
Funny how they refer to themselves as Special Effects guys, not Visual Effects, which is closer to what they do... DT genius none the less...
Back in the day they were called simply special effects.
They managed to make an AI-generated video decades before the invention of AI.
This is a fascinating video. So much wooden acting you could fill IKEA.
The video is now re-listed.
Cheers techmoan
Lets not forget this tech only worked because you were inevitably in a queue in a Post Office
Wow i remember having a load of travellers cheques when I went Inter railing through Europe.
The older I get the more I recognise how much tat gets sold under the banner of 'collectables' - as 'The Times Prestige Stamp Book' cost £5 when new, and you can buy a fairly mint edition for less than £10 now in 2024. Thanks for doing this Mat - much appreciated and an important bit of digital archeology!
A HOUR!?
This sure does epitomise how life was so much more wholesome, simpler and less chaotic back then.
That voiceover bloke sounds like David Mitchell doing a sketch about the Post Office.
Appreciate your efforts on archiving this. 👍🏻
This review seemed lacking ;) jk thanks Matt
This is EXACTLY the content I've been waiting for my whole life!!!! Instant subscriber. Do you have a Patreon for this channel. I have millions to send.
Oh no! The TV license people are bothering me via TechMoan now.
That poor woman behind the counter.
I'm feeling sorry for all the post office employees who had to listen to that advertising spiel for days on end..
Damn this audio is good! Great job on the cleanup, which I’m sure took hours off your life. There’s a lot of great phrases I might sample for future projects in here as well. What fun.
Thank you for your hard work
You went over the Horizon here Matt 🤣
i can play it on repeat when i am in bed to fall asleep to
What a perfectly legitimate and anonymous channel!
Heroic effort, thank you mat..
Post Office? Iron Maiden? Oh yes 49:38
I’m surprised the advance cue tone is faintly audible on the soundtrack.
I’m surprised these weren’t destroyed.
This is akin to the moment when the late great Kenny Everett would rip off his mask and declare 'It was meee all the time! "
Outstanding
6:59 "Did your parcel from us arrive damaged? Well bugger off, you should have packed it better you fool."
I sent myself some stuff in the USPS around 2000. It never arrived. The box disintegrated at some point. A decade or so later my father was sending my nephew in law a guitar and I said, "Pack it like it needs to withstand a drop from a three-story building." He chuckled. I wasn't joking.
Perhaps this is the perfect video to play on repeat for the nice people of the Post Office that thought they could do math better on a computer than the good people behind those bars... You know who you are.
1 hr 29 min… Talk about dedication to your work. :)
Thanks for the uploads @techmoan 😉
I so much want Cuba Baion to be on this tape!! Otherwise it's absolutely lovely 🎉
One thing that really bugged me the most is the frame-rate. The video had dropped A LOT OF FRAMES, because... well... 25 FPS for PAL! Not good. This SHOULD'VE BEEN in the NTSC frame-rate of 29.97 FPS! So, you might redo the capture with a PROPER FRAME-RATE for that NTSC standard thing.
