Lost Zeppelin (1929)

[Hell5x5x2]

Old movies feels like we are really inside a new world

[Themaniacnextdoor]

They simply knew how to do minatures and such back in te day. it's really a lost art, same with stop motion. If you told a modern day special FX guy to make a stop motion animal look real, they couldn't do it.

[Hell5x5x2]

@Themaniacnextdoor who said minature art is lost it is still done ....like Dark Knight,Shutter Island

[Themaniacnextdoor]

@Hell5x5x2 Haven't watched either. Most m,ovie now just use CG though, ignoring the fact that practical effects and most otehr techniques look SO much better.

Just waiting for the Rocketeer to zoom by. You got the music already....

[Commiton]

That must have thrilled the adventure fans at the nickle theater.

good special effects for an old movie

[BlackMariaDownUnder]

A Dirigible is a Zeppilin !! Both are airships with an internal frame structure with lift provided by multiple gas bag cells, while a Blimp has just the one gasbag integral with the external envelope.

[PahangDragonbird]

This is a Semi-Rigid airship, which has a non rigid envelope with a rigid keel.

Its a good film and don't want to be an ass but thats a Blimp or Dirigible, not a Zeppelin. (if its patterened after the Norge.) But great film.

[whizbang47]

I'd love to see the whole film w/ or w/o sound. Seems Umberto Nobile inspired.

[PahangDragonbird]

yes this movie is loosely based on the crash of the Italia

[richragsdale]
