- Here we learn about the fascinating work of Dr. Lee DeForest, who made synchronized sound film possible. Although Hollywood initially rejected his invention and tried other, lower quality methods, it eventually became the standard.
Wonderful. I'm 58 and feel like a fossil because I love this so much. How can people not appreciate where we are today because of these pioneers? I have photographs of my ancestors, and I fear they will be lost because the youth today do not care.
This is fascinating! The misconception that The Jazz Singer was the first talkie annoys me. So many pioneers of sound film are forgotten...
The confusion of "who's (on) first" is really based on the movie that finally caused the transition. Oddly, THE JAZZ SINGER did not use the sound-on-film process that deForest pioneered, but used the Vitaphone sound-on-disc method. (Although I have had suspicions that initial recordings of later Vitaphone films made a sound-on-film soundtrack master for editing, and the discs were transferred from an edited film soundtrack since it is physically impossible to edit using record discs. The cuing is impossible and impractical for something so precise. So in the case of THE JAZZ SINGER, it was the application of the technology with a box office draw that created the sensation. The Phonofilms while effective in demonstrating sound, were not produced as artistically, and were a step back to the techniques of early silent films that were photographed in a static and stagy manner, not using, or rarely using close shots. So it was an artistic realization in the case of THE JAZZ SINGER that convinced the industry that sound films were the future. The same argument is made about STEAMBOAT WILLIE being the first animated cartoon with sound. It wasn't either. It was its imaginative use of sound combined with the timing of its availability in 1928 when theaters were just starting to show sound films and were eager to get them.
While there were many other who were attempting to make sound motion pictures, including Edision, the main drawback was amplification in a theater. That was the key element that deForest had to offer and key to the success of his Phonofilms.
Mmmm😊
Nope he had direct recording sound with the primitive acoustical to a cylinder wax .they had to scream loud into the horns .It was the earlier sound film experiment in 1890 to 1909 that the filmmaker recorded sound first then had the actor mouth and sync the sound affects.
what about the MARX BROS. 1929 the coconuts
