Continue the research...

The Automatic Moving Company in 1912 that i mention in earlier post. A film by Romeo Bossetti. This film was in fact produced by Bossetti for Pathe Company. This is a short movie yet charming film depicting actual furniture uloading from a truck and arranging itself in a second-floor apartment without the aid of human.

The Dinosaur and The Missing Link in 1917, a Conquest Pictures production distributed by Thomas Edison.

Work of Willis O'Brien as promised. O'Brien designed sets and dinosaur figures which were built by Marcel Delgado for a shot-lived project Creation in 1931. The plot was to have featured a submarine discovering a lost island where dinosaurs still roam.

This is not clay, it is wooden man. Kinex Studio created Chip In The Land Of Whiz in 1929 is a toyland adventure. Gingerbread man and Doodlebugville all feature character crafted out of wood and other materials in a much more "cartoon" like style, where as realistic bugs and human dolls were predominant characters in earlier stop-motion film.


An animator named Ladislaw Starewicz produced second film, The Revenged of the Kinema ToGraph Cameraman in 1912. This film showed a lecherous couple, the Beetles has a humorous edge in that a grasshopper cameraman provides the climax by showing his secretly-captured film at a cinema where the Beetles are in attendance. Husband and wife betray each other and yet they remain together in the end of the story with a bottle of wine. Starewicz used actual preserved insects as subject in this film.
