Document Summary

Disney pixar has made a commitment to creating new animated shorts: successful as a means of research & development. Can be used to try out different techniques. Warner bros. tried their hand at it, but released 3 shorts with 3 bad, unsuccessful films (1931) live action short: great depression era (late "20s to early "30s) transition from silent films to sound -> interesting period. Tentative move into sound until studios realized all they had to do was add sound to what they were already doing. Made people realize that they needed to start taking it film (with sound) seriously: think sound of music, some stage actors were made for film w/ sound, some were unprepared/unsuited for the job. New problems arose & new solutions: where to put the microphone -> solution: the boom, boom casts a shadow. Characters assumed names of the actors that played them.
