Moviola
A Moviola () is a device that allows a Film editing, film editor to view a film while editing. It was the first machine for motion picture editing when it was invented by Iwan Serrurier in 1924. History Iwan Serrurier's original 1917 concept for the Moviola was as a home movie projector to be sold to the general public. The name was derived from the name "Victrola" since Serrurier thought his invention would do for home movie viewing what the Victrola did for home music listening. However, since the machine cost $600 in 1920 (), very few sold. An editor at Douglas Fairbanks Film Corporation, Douglas Fairbanks Studios suggested that Iwan should adapt the device for use by film editors. Serrurier did this and the Moviola as an editing device was born in 1924, with the first Moviola being sold to Douglas Fairbanks himself. Many studios quickly adopted the Moviola including Universal Pictures, Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Charles Chaplin, Charles Chaplin Studios, Buster Keaton, ...

Iwan Serrurier
Iwan Serrurier (September 21, 1878 – 1953) was a Dutch-American electrical engineer notable for inventing the Moviola. Career Iwan was born in Leiden, Netherlands to Lindor Serrurier, director of the city's ethnographic museum, and Martina Lindo. In June 1903, Serrurier married Catharina Damme in Utrecht. Soon after, they moved to the United States and settled in Pasadena, California, where their son Mark was born in May 1904. Serrurier sold real estate and worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad as a draftsman. In 1917 Serrurier designed a home movie projector, which he called the "Moviola", since he envisioned it being used in households similarly to the Victrola home phonograph. However, the Moviola's $600 price point (equivalent to $10,400 in 2023) meant few sold when it was first marketed in 1923. An editor at Douglas Fairbanks Studios suggested that Serrurier should adapt the device for use by film editors; he did this and the Moviola as an editing device was born in ...

Returning back to the cutting room, Farrell adds edge numbers to both the picture and audio on an Acmade numbering machine and then, breaks the reels into individual shots. After a demonstration of how the Moviola works, Murch talks about his approach to visualising the edit, before he cuts two scenes from '' Mr. Turner''.

Flatbed Editor
A flatbed editor is a type of machine used to edit Film stock, film for a motion picture. Picture and sound rolls are placed onto separate motorized disks, called "plates," and then threaded through picture and sound transports, each of which has sprocket rollers that transport the film or magnetic stock forwards or backwards at variable or fixed speeds while maintaining their precise positions. The transports can be "locked" together, either mechanically (KEM, Steenbeck, Showchron) or electronically (Moviola), so that they move in harmony and maintain synchronization between picture and sound. They can also be unlocked to move them independently. A prism (optics), prism reflects the film image onto a viewing screen, while a magnetic playback head reads the magnetic audio tracks. The two most common configurations are the "six-plate" (one picture transport and two sound transports) and the "eight-plate" (two picture and two sound transport) models. (The edges of two of the plates ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Film Editing
Film editing is both a creative and a technical part of the post-production process of filmmaking. The term is derived from the traditional process of working with film stock, film which increasingly involves the use Digital cinema, of digital technology. When putting together some sort of video composition, typically, one would need a collection of shots and footages that vary from one another. The act of adjusting the shots someone has already taken, and turning them into something new is known as film editing. The film editor works with raw footage, selecting Shot (filmmaking), shots and combining them into Sequence (filmmaking), sequences which create a finished Film, motion picture. Film editing is described as an art or skill, the only art that is unique to cinema, separating filmmaking from other art forms that preceded it, although there are close parallels to the editing process in other art forms such as poetry and novel writing. Film editing is an extremely important ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mark Serrurier (12 May 1904 in Pasadena, California – 14 February 1988) is the son of Dutch-born electrical engineer, Iwan Serrurier, who created the Moviola in 1924 which became the technology used for film editing. Mark was a graduate of Caltech and went on to work on designs for the Palomar Observatory 200 inch (5 m) Hale Telescope. The pioneering truss design he invented for that instrument's massive tube structure (the " Serrurier truss") is still used today in large telescope designs. During World War II, Mark worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory testing jet aircraft engines.
