The American Cinematographer, Vol. 2: February 1, 1922 (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from The American Cinematographer, Vol. 2: February 1, 1922
At that time we were just beginning to see and realize the possibility of vivifying a picture production through art in photography.
Attempts had been made in America, as well as abroad, to bring forth light effects and a sense of loom position to beautify the appearance of pictures which were at that time rather crude and almost childish in detail.
The conversation on this subject drifted, and being a cameraman, I was, of course, very enthusiastic, as I could foresee the great possibility of expressing the artistic sense which I knew was latent in the very soul of many of the boys who were just merely cranking at that time.
Several pictures had been praised or criticized, ao cording to their merit, when someone mentioned the name of a producer, who, with great sincerity was then striving to put in his productions the artistic and photo graphic touches which, in his estimation, would appeal to the cultured public, and also please the less intelligent or uneducated audiences.
