About this book
The explanation of cinematograph operation challenges the belief that taking moving pictures requires nothing beyond turning a crank as simply as a coffee mill. The instructions insist on rotating the handle at a uniform speed, even when a slow subject tempts the operator to reduce the pace. The comparison between a tortoise and a horse race says both must be photographed equally rapidly in order to secure natural motion.
The description of a trick film places a representation of a wall on the floor and points a camera at it from above. The vehicles driven over the backcloth appear on film to perform the impossible feat of travelling up the wall.
