Now You’re Talking (1927)

Tags: , | Categories: technical media

Hi, we tend to think that mixing media is a new trend but looking back in history sometimes it surprises us with examples that show the opposite. A question I got recently is if mixing, remixing and hybrid media already exist before algorithmic revolution then What is so special about current digital mixing?

Again in the Internet archive, I found this old animation-video which is a mix of text, animation and real footage in a unique package, everything . In “Now you’re talking” (1927) a poor and mistreated telephone has to visit a doctor, a dream its owner would not forget. Check it out!

Duck and Cover (1951)

HI, here a funny but scary movie founded by Antonio in the Internet Archive.

Duck and Cover (1951) is a (scary) film about how to mislead population by mass media hysteria. This movie seems to be an educational one targeted to kids and young population but what it does create, is a perpetual state of fear and paranoia typical during the cold war.

After 9:15 you should know what to do in case a nuclear bomb explodes nearby. Just remember the catchphrase “Duck and Cover“, I mean pure and simple terror propaganda.

Definitely a worth watching video.
