Another fun fact about Steamboat Willy: if you’re watching a version provided by Disney, chances are you’re watching a censored version. Apparently having your brand mascot play music through animal abuse is “inappropriate”. So, a good deal of that usually gets chopped out.

I worked on the companion app for Despicable Me called "Minionator" which provided subtitles for the Minion characters. Since we didn't have long to build it we watched the movie's audio on an FFT and looked for patterns of simple tones we could detect and derive time information from. Whistles, and a section of Pharrell Williams autotuned voice were two I remember we picked. We also got them to redo the buttons sounds when the Minions are interacting with equipment in the movie to make them clearer for our software. So we were using the descendant of this audio sync trick to sync a third stream of information to the movie. This kind of not world leading but very well executed marketing of which we were a small part is what made Minions a thing.

The "Powers CinePhone" system used by Disney for his early sound cartoons, is an almost direct copy of the DeForest system that was left after DeForest and Case parted ways (Because DeForest treated Case like crap) Case took his inventions that made the DeForest system better over to Fox to create the "Fox Movietone" sound film system. If you listen to other film sound systems of the time such as Vitaphone sound on Disc, Western Electric sound on film, Fox Movietone, or RCA Photophone sound on film, they all sound better than Powers CinePhone. But because Pat Powers really did not have to invest a lot into getting the system up and running it was a lot cheaper than using other systems. Disney would switch to the RCA Phonofilm sound system in November 1932, in 1935 Disney would move over to RCA co-owned RKO for distribution until 1956. Disney would continue to use RCA Photophone until RCA got out of the film sound business in the early 80's.

@bandana_girl6507 8 месяцев назад

So, the reason that the optical sound that you found "didn't fit" is because the film had to be stationary while the soundtrack had to be moving continuously. Which meant that the audio data had to be in a different type of mechanism and so physically separate visual frames it played along with. So the proper audio was probably on the film, just at a different point, and the audio you saw was proper audio, just for a different frame

I'd say Super Mario Bros. was much more than just innovative for side scrollers. It was one of the earliest games where the focus wasn't arcade style short challenges that drove you to keep playing for a high score, but instead drove you to keep playing through a (relatively) long set of new levels with a set ending. So, a video game about simply experiencing the game, like most single player games today, instead of comparing scores with friends. And just like Mickey, Mario was not the first to do this but the first to be broadly received and acclaimed.

When Mickey Mouse's 'Steam Boat Willy' (1928) came out, MM was still ill known, Felix the Cat (1925-), KoKo the Clown was created by Max Fleischer and his brothers (look at Merry Melodies and Warner Bros. Cartoons), and Betty Boop was years away in the 1930s, The early days of Animation is really amazing.

As a former projectionist for both 35mm film and IMAX film, I gotta say Dolby Digital kinda sucks. I mean it’s good in the digital age but it had a huge problem on film. You see where it’s printed? In between the sprocket holes. That’s the only section of film where the emulsion side touches every single part of the projector. The sprockets that pull the film through the projector are slightly raised right where the teeth are so that the film doesn’t touch them where the picture or the soundtrack are. So, the Dolby Digital code was always getting scratched or warped, and then it would glitch out during the show.

Quite a few years ago I experimented with sonic bitmapping. Turning an analogue signal into a many-colours bitmap such as a GIF, and playing it back, using an application I wrote in Visual Basic and C++. It worked pretty well, I was almost to the point of embedding the bitmaps into random images, then using value subtraction to extract the sonic bitmap using un-doctored copies of the original image and playing it back. Didn't quite get that far and the code is lost to an EMP. I never bothered to revive the project. There is a HAM project around that uses AD conversion to transmit still images over an analogue radio carrier and convert them back to images using an Android app, which is a fun thing to try.

@herzogsbuick 8 месяцев назад

This is how Leon Theremin's Great Seal Bug worked, too: sound vibrations caused two membranes to get closer and far apart, and an external radio source (which is still a form of light!) would be aimed at it through the walls of the US Embassy in Moscow. The membranes were hidden in a decoration hung on the wall, and when the radio waves had bounced back they'd be changed by the vibrations -- just like the play back of the audio on the film. The difference between what was sent and received back represented the sound. I had a feeling you were going to do something unique and interesting about Steamboat Willy. Which means you made me feel smarter since I was right. And for that, I'm even more grateful.

The obvious question is how does the sound track move smoothly when the picture is jumping frame by frame. And the answer's obvious if you know - the sound is offset by about a second from the image it syncs with, so the sound "reader" is away from the projector mechanism.

Walt didn't invent Mickey either, it was his partner the animator UB Iwerks - it's well documented now and Walt later admitted it too. Around the time of Oswald the rabbit and steamboat willie Ub and Walt were partners, Ub had a 20% share in the company. Walt and Ub fell out and Ub left, but the story doesn't end with Ub eventually leaving, it ends with Ub later returning and become part of Walt's practical solutions department solving every problem he had in future films, it even won Ub an oscar later in life. I find it credit to how humble this man was because he didn't grumble about not been credited for the creation of Mickey. he was there to do a job and he did it well.

@edryba4867 8 месяцев назад

You left important stuff out! Like the fact that the Vitaphone System’s record was played on a turntable mounted on the film projector, and was turned IN SYNC with picture by the equivalent of an analog speedometer cable for cars. If there were no frames missing, IT STAYED IN SYNC TO THE END OF THE REEL. Also, in the war between Variable Density and Variable area sound, among the plethora of companies trying each, Western Electric won the Variable Density war, and RCA won the Variable Area war. Incidentally, Variable Area sound tends to sound MUCH better than Variable Density sound. That’s because RCA was able to make their equipment record 5,000Hz higher than Western Electric could. I can tell you how, but we’d be here a while. - From A Lifetime Member of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.

@jeremymathews3077 6 месяцев назад

Came hear to say this. There were indeed sync problems when frames were lost in the print and or the disc wasn't cued properly, but screenings of The Jazz Singer with a proper projector would not have gone out of sync, and the process certainly wasn't starting a record at the same time as the movie, as the video implies. In fact, both sound-on-film and sound-on-disc techniques existed for some time (we're talking 1900), and Vitagraph's disc system was favored because the sound quality was initially better, but sound-on-film's real advantage was limiting the possibility for projectionist error, so when the sound quality got close to that of the disc systems, it was the obvious choice. All this to say that Walt Disney and Steamboat had less to do with the synchronized sound system technique and everything to do with Walt Disney's attention to detail in capturing a quality sound recording with synchronized music and sound. In other words, craft.

@megamix5403 8 месяцев назад

"Mickey wasn't famous because he was an incredible character." Idk about that, man. Those are some pretty *bold* words. Mickey has resonated with audiences for generations, so it's hard to ignore his appeal as an iconic character. Sure, there are other characters that are worth taking a look at I'm not denying that, but there's a reason why Mario and Astro Boy are called the "Mickey Mouse." of gaming and anime respectively.

Trigonometry defines 0° in a circle to *the right* (+X axis). (Technically it doesn’t matter where you _start_ as long as one is consistent but the +X axis was chosen for convenience.) Due to gravity and objects falling it is natural to scan vertically top to bottom which doesn’t require any head turning. Scanning horizontally tends to imply head turning. Our horizontal FOV is ~210°, vertical FOV ~150° in case anyone is curious about the asymmetry.

The interesting thing is that digital video works similarly. The video and audio are two separate parts of the digital stream and have to be time sync'd. Today's CPUs have no problem with this. You do have some play because audio has a much higher frame rate than video. Being in sync is major especially for video games and streaming. In streaming, too much audio processing on your CPU can add latency. With video games, you have that trade-off with the size of the audio buffer on top of audio processing. Larger buffer = better and more reliable sound quality, but also means latency. Latency = how far off the audio is from the video.

I watched that sound on film video already but great summary and animations!

it's amazing how good those vintage videos are. it was rather laborious for me to create animations that are inferior, yet i had the benefit of 2024 technology! geniuses.

@@PhilEdwardsInc I love watching those old military/vehicle manufacturer videos from channels like @USAutoIndustry and Periscope film, there's just a beauty in the accent of the voiceover and the method of presentation, the soft fade transitions.. its a whole vibe.

How did they get the sound off the film? With most theaters set up for silent cinema was there a transition period in the past where sound on film was being made but theaters hadn’t converted? Would they play them in silence or just not show them in those theaters? If you didn’t see a movie in theaters did that mean you never saw it until the invention of home viewing media?

The iPod, iPhone etc - none of them were revolutionary but they all where good at marketing to a very specific target demographic. This can also be nicely seen in the fact that none of those products had been technology leaders and in the rest of the world they played a minor role for a long time (hell apple-products in general are not big in the global market specifically for just how crappy they are).

Technical point: It’s impossible, or extremely difficult to decode edge-printed audio svnchronously, or at the exact frame to which the sound corresponds, while projecting. Much easier to do it further down the film’s path through the projector. The audio directly beside any frame is actually for some other frame a second or so behind it. Usually. So the problem of missing frames un-synching the audio is not solved by this, it just becomes a different problem.
