Peter Pan was released 73 years ago today. Disney’s animators used live-action actors as full reference for nearly every scene. The performances were filmed first, then animated frame by frame. That’s why the movement feels so fluid and theatrical.

Produced by Paramount as a response to Disney’s Snow White, Gulliver’s Travels (1939) was the studio’s first animated feature. Based on Jonathan Swift’s novel, this Fleischer Studio film, used 'rotoscoping', a new animation technique developed by Max Fleischer. The process involves tracing live-action footage frame-by-frame; Sam Parker, the actor who performed the voice of Gulliver, also modeled as the character's live-action reference. Gulliver was a success at the box office and earned two Oscar nominations.

Inferno was released 46 years ago today. Much of the film was shot without synced sound. Argento planned the visuals first and added dialogue and effects later in post. That’s why the movie feels slightly off-kilter.

No doctor today is worth less than they were 17 years ago, as Dr Melissa Ryan 🦀 has told Newsnight. That’s why resident doctors in England have voted for industrial action. There’s still time for the Government to listen and avert the strikes.

About 16 years ago, David Fincher filmed Leonardo DiCaprio for a RED camera test. The scene was lit by single match as key light. It was shot around the time Fincher was making The Social Network, and it still looks better than digital movies today.

Karateka, released in 1984 for the Apple II by Jordan Mechner (while he was a Yale student!), stood out as a groundbreaking title for its era. My biggest achievement as a student was getting out of bed in time for the majority (not all) classes... The innovations included pioneering rotoscoped animation, where Mechner filmed himself performing karate moves on video, traced the frames by hand, and digitized them frame-by-frame for ultra-fluid, lifelike character movements. It was also one of the first games to use cinematic storytelling scenes, inspired by Akira Kurosawa films, and silent movies: wordless cutscenes with cross-cutting (such as showing the princess in peril or the villain's reactions), dramatic pauses and tracking shots. Mechner also had a sense of humor: The Apple II disk included an Easter egg: the game was single-sided but when you flipped the disk it would pay the game the full game upside-down and mirrored, causing players to call tech support in confusion.

45 years ago today, Fleetwood Mac released Tusk. The band was experimenting with new sounds, so they went to Dodger Stadium and recorded live the USC Marching Band for their song Tusk. This is why at all USC and Lakers Home Games you hear this song.

Production was dead wrong for that scene at Chateau Shereé 😭 The second that fly started buzzing and Kandi Burruss and Phaedra Parks both went “whew” at the exact same time, I lose it every single time. The editors were so messy back then and that’s exactly why those old seasons were gold #RHOA
