An Early Flicker..

Mutoscope

I added the music "The Stripper" by David Rose

"Expanding on the flick-book principle, the Mutoscope contained a sequence of photographs which were arranged around the perimeter of a drum. A simple turn of a handle flipped the cards rapidly, giving the impression of movement.

The Mutoscope was, like the Kinetoscope, a Peepshow device and included a viewing aperture which customers peered into to watch the action. Unlike the Kinetoscope the Mutoscope didn’t rely on any special illumination or an electric motor and gave viewers much greater control over the viewing - for example they could control the speed at which the action took place or turning the handle in the reverse direction produced backward motion". - http://www.earlycinema.com

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus!!

I can't wait to see this film. Not only that it's beautiful visually but also to see the great group of actors in it and is that supermodel Lily Cole I see? It is the last film of the great actor late Heath Ledger.
