    Another stop motion sequence shows a Diplodocus pushing a double decker bus along with it's head and pulling up a tree outside Westminster Abbey - yikes!
    London.
    A brief sequence shows a model Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur in stop motion footage (Ray Harryhausen?) eating the flesh of a dead dinosaur.
    Several shots show model maker Arthur Hayward at home, working on a drawing and paper skeleton of a dinosaur, then winding a plaster of Paris bandage around a wire dino shape under the watchful eye of a model Diplodocus. Finished heads of other models are seen. We then see Arthur covering a Diplodocus shape with grey plasticine and marking creases into the 'skin'; great shot of his enlarged eye looking through a magnifying glass. Commentator says Arthur works at the Natural History Museum and his models are used in films such as 'One Million Years BC'.
    Arthur takes another Diplodocus (or could be the same one) from a plaster mould, then places a rubber dino skeleton into the same mould and pours pink latex rubber (whisked in a kitchen mixer) in through a hole. Arthur shows how the arms and mouths of the finished models can move, due to their jointed skeletons. A little tableau shows a Tyrannosaurus Rex growling with moving mouth and a Stegosaurus eating grass.
    BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
    Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
    Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
    British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984.

      @IamPatrickStar 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I guess that’s like a case for the latex to stay in and form into rubber around the puppet. Not sure what it’s really called

    • @calessel3139
      @calessel3139 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's a Plaster of Paris mold. Before modern flexible silicone rubber, artists would pour plaster in sections over their model to cast replicas. Typically the initial model is sculpted from clay, then a mold is made of it as described above. This method is still used today to make replicas of such things as sculptures.
