During the silent era, the film industry was BOOMING. AND, it was simple to get into the film industry. NO sound equipment, NO studio and NO experience was needed. Scrape up money for a camera and cameraman and you were in business. THOUSANDS jumped aboard trying to make their fortune in this new fledgling industry. As talent emerged and the industry stabilized, studios and distributors changed rapidly. It has been declared that only 10% of the silent feature films made in the U.S. still exist. Unfortunately, documentaries, shorts and regionals weren't even addressed in the statistics. Documentation during the silent era is a historians' nightmare. Whether you are preparing material for an auction, cataloging for an archive, adding to your collection, speculating on a possible piece of historical treasure, or doing film research, you want to be able to find information as quickly as possible. In 2006, we created the first and only research database for film accessories, the historical documents issued WITH the film. Each movie poster entered into the database had all the information on it fed into the computer. There are currently over 100,000 poster images in the database, sortable from any direction. To create this book, we started with studio and distributor information and logos that we had compiled from our database. We then factored in trade ads and other information that we had gathered from our research. This allowed us to tackle what was previously considered impossible - the recreating of lost film history. This will be continually refined and expanded as we continue documenting the film accessories. For this reason, this book is not intended to be an all-inclusive reference work on silent production and distribution companies. We look at it as a starting point to BEGIN the expansion and reconstruction of this important time period in our cultural heritage. In this first edition, we present 358 pages and 667 illustrations - thousands of silent era production and distribution companies from around the world with dates, principles, and hundreds of logs and tags. The FIRST EVER - Silent Studio Directory.

The declaration that 80-90% of all silent films made in the U. S., plus 50% of all U. S. films produced before 1951 (when they created safety film) are already lost forever makes the preservation of the film accessories (posters, movie stills, presbooks, etc.) as the remaining historical documents of this social media even more imperative. BUT...what good is it to preserve these historical production stills if you can't identify them "Production Code Basics - For Movie Still Collectors" is the first reference book written on how to use movie still production codes to help identify unknown movie stills and costumes. Production codes came into use around 1912 as the United States became the major international supplier of films and movie studios were driven to increase their production due to increased demand. By 1920 production codes were used by every major film studio and became an indispensable tool utilized in almost every department. Some studios even used production codes to mark their costumes and props. "Production Code Basics - For Movie Still Collectors" covers every phase from the initial creation and why they were needed, and then moves through the filming process to show the use of stills by each department. Also included is a breakdown of major studios and different variations each studio used. Explanations are included on the process outside of the major studios and cover such areas as states rights, exports, independent studios, distribution, multiple markings and much more. Ed and Susan Poole are film accessory researchers that have been in the industry for over 35 years. This is their 15th industry related reference book. The Pooles are on a quest to make sure that film accessories such as posters, stills, and pressbooks are not lost through neglect as silent films have been.

This book is devoted solely to the subject of movie-stills and photography. It traces the early growth of stills photography from the first development of the star system and the increase in feature-length films, through to the rise of the giant studios and their subsequent decline in the 1940s and 1950s. It focuses on the photographers and the stars they photographed - from Theda Bara, Greta Garbo and Dietrich up to Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn - as well as many of the key films - Intolerance (1916), Greed (1924), King Kong (1933), Psycho (1960), My Fair Lady (1964) - and the film-makers themselves - Stroheim, D.W. Griffith, C.B. De Mille and Hitchcock.

Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe... It is through the eye of the stills camera that we experience and recall some of the cinema's most memorable events and faces. Still images are so powerful that they can easily pass for actual scenes for the movies they represent - rather than separately posed, lighted and photographed shots that may not even find their way into the finished film. This book is the most detailed and perceptive survey ever devoted to this neglected aspect of film-making. It traces the origin of stills photography during the silent era and the early development of the star system, through to the rise of the giant studios in the 1930s and their eventual decline. Finler focuses on the photographers, on the stars they photographed, and on many key films and film-makers. Hollywood Movie Stills is illustrated with hundreds of rare and unusual stills from the author's own collection, including not only portraits and scene stills but production shots, behind-the-scenes photos, poster art, calendar art, photo collages and trick shots. There are also photos showing the stars' private lives and special events in Hollywood. This lavishly presented new edition of Finler's classic work includes many new stills and much new insight and information into this fascinating aspect of the great film studios in their heyday.

Any archivists who have held a piece of fi lm in their hands, wondering how to go about identifying it, recognize the true value of fi lm preservationist Harold Brown's work. In 1967 Brown delivered a pioneering lecture on the identification of early films at the annual Congress of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) in East Berlin. Years of working with Britain's National Film Archive collections, and the close examination of thousands of nitrate prints of the silent period, made Brown a leading authority on early fi lm identification, and an unsurpassed model of methodological consciousness in the archival field. In 1990, FIAF published Brown's Physical Characteristics of Early Films as Aids to Identification, an updated version and a continuation of his 1967 lecture. This publication has long been archivists' trusted companion, constituting a concentrated encyclopedia on all the information that can be discovered or verified through aspects of the fi lm other than the actual projected image – such as perforation shapes; embossed and punched marks; stock manufacturers' and producers' edge marks; frame characteristics; title styles; and production serial numbers. It also included essays on key individual production companies of the silent era. Over the last 30 years, this manual – a basic typewritten 100-page volume (including 20 pages of black & white illustrations), with its easily recognizable red cover – has been an invaluable reference for fi lm archivists and scholars. However, as Brown himself acknowledged in the 1990 edition, the manual was far from definitive. Camille Blot-Wellens, the editor of this new, expanded edition of Brown's 1990 book, belongs to the new generation of researchers who have used Physical Characteristics extensively in their work and have gathered considerable new information on the subject. This new edition is the result of a project she initiated in 2014 with FIAF's support. Brown's original text is now augmented with new original research on key fi lm manufacturers and producers by Camille Bolt-Wellens and other leading archivists and researchers in the field. Richly illustrated (the book contains over 900 images, including 125 in full color), this new 336-page edition of Harold Brown's seminal manual will be welcomed by many, and will no doubt become a must-have working tool for many in the fi lm archiving and academic fields.
