Subscribe to the Filmmaker IQ Youtube channel
FilmmakerIQ.com and RØDE Microphones are proud to give you a sneak peak at the first lesson in our six part course which will cover science/microphones, recording, editing, foley, and ADR. We are also hard at work behind the scenes updating the site to include even more interaction which should be live in the coming weeks. Until then - enjoy this lesson on the history of sound at the movies.
The inclusion of sound at the movies was one of the most dramatic changes in all of film history. Dive into the early experiments of Edison trying to incorporate sound from film's inception, through the experiments in the early 1920s, the Jazz Singer and the industry sound overhaul, and finally the multi-channel surround and modern movie sound technologies.
This video is proudly sponsors by RØDE Microphones.

History of the Mobile Camera

"Polaroids and Instant Cameras"
The first instant camera appeared in 1923, but it wasn’t until 1948 that such devices became popularized thanks to inventor Edwin Land. He called his instant camera the 'Land Camera'.
"Enter the CCD Chip"
In 1969 Willard Boyle and George Smith invented the CCD chip (charge-coupled device chip). This allowed for the birth of digital cameras but it wasn’t until 1981 a digital camera was introduced to consumers.
"The First Camera Phone"
The first Camera Phone only had 0.1 megapixels or 110,000 pixels for photos which cost consumers $500. Nevertheless Sharp's J-Phone as it so named was quite popular in Japan where it was introduced. America took notice and brought the technology to the US which soon after led to the camera phone battles.
"A Race for More Pixels"
The term ‘megapixel’ was introduced to consumers starting an arms race among producers we know as 'The Megapixel War (Google Search). In those early days more pixels did add to image quality however with diminished returns this thinking was going to change.
"Pixel Revolution"
As more pixels are crammed into the relatively same size sensor it meant smaller pixels. This increased the file size which allows for a larger printed image but added nothing to image quality. Manufactures soon realized that a bigger pixel means better image quality not more pixels. However the myth that more pixel equates to better image quality was locked into consumers minds. Only those who understood the technology knew full well this wasn't true for the newer large 'megapixel' cameras being manufactured.

Let There Be Light
"The video begins with a historical review of the origins of cinema
lighting. Next - some background on the physics of light and color - and
how these facts relate to the choices we make as cinematographers and
photographers. The video concludes with a montage of modern lighting
instruments and then a quick summation."

HISTORY: The QH-50 DASH Shipboard and Flight Control Operation
Uploaded on Dec 3, 2011
While "UAV" or Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle is the buzz word today, 50 years ago, the Men of DASH were
flying such aircraft from U.S. Navy small-deck-destroyers and they
didn't have all the luxuries the UAV controllers of today have. The
DASHmen of the past operated out in the elements, with a small but
coordinated crew and they made that system work and carried out
combat-missions. If you feel you might have been able to work, like a
DASHman, then, you'll need to review this training film before you get
to ship! Good luck, Sailor!
