Step Behind the Camera in the Dawn of Cinema
Anyone interested in early motion picture history knows the iconic image of wooden, hand-cranked cameras. This book presents a rare collection of original camera gear manuals, pamphlets, and trade literature from the era of Keystone Studios, Charlie Chaplin, D. W. Griffith, Mary Pickford, and storefront nickelodeons—just as purpose-built movie theaters were beginning to emerge.
With added material and research by Darren Nemeth, this volume offers a fascinating look into how early filmmakers operated motion picture cameras and processed film from a 1910s perspective. Discover the foundational skills needed to become a successful camera operator at the dawn of industrialized filmmaking.
