Finding His Voice - 1929 Max Fleischer cartoon

haha 6:30 "simple isn't it"
yeahhhh right! 80 years later and I still can't understand how they do that!

how wonderful. although I wasn't born until the fifties I recall watching cartoons like this. After I finish here I am going to search for Farmer Grey. He used to be on early in the morning and I think it was American in Paris music. Thank you

i remember this cartoon thanks a lot for posting .

The bad sound can be a result of many things..
a hum in any recording is usually caused by electrical interference (such as poor grounding or lack of) also today's recorders use resistors and other schematic components to inhibit the contamination of electrical feedback.. Perhaps these humming sounds in early recordings is why they were created in the first place??

If you used the microphones and tubes of back then bundled with proper grounding, traps and resistors built in to the electrical system It would probably have eliminated the hum..
My guess is it's a result of the current passing through the tubes..
If you ever put a microphone next to a transformer like a ac to dc transformer you will pick up a hum that is similar found in old recordings.. It's just a guess.

That end bit... I didn't see that coming.

Fleischer blows Disney away. He has developed so many innovative film techniques. Makes you wonder how film and animation would be different if he was never around.
