Home Movie: 97297: Don't You Believe It (1940)

★★★ · I can't believe it! · Spuzz · 2015-04-24

A bit of an experimental reel using simple camera trickery (like backwards, stop motion etc) and using some animation. The film is reverse negative, which maaaaay be intentional, but who knows.

Who ever did this was probably cracking themselves up.. 'I can do that too' kind of thing. Right down to the 'text' which they probably were delighted in their end result with too.. Very amateur.. To be an amateur back then you had to not only have the gear, but the film was spend, and then you had to develop it. And that wasn't inexpensive (certainly not free like today on the desk top) and then you had to wait. 30 days some times... It was a PROCE$$ to process film. .. Anyway.. This reminds me a lot of the absolutely fantastic work some of the kids are doing on youtube with their magic…
