Science and Film-Making



PaleoFuture: The magazine Science and Invention looks at the 1927 futuristic film, Metropolis. An excerpt:

The magazine featured a two-page spread titled, ”Metropolis—A Movie Based On Science,” with photographs and illustrations depicting how the movie’s cutting-edge effects were achieved. The use of miniatures, sparks of electricity with forced perspective and television-telephones are all explained in illustrations credited to “Bate.”
