Edwin S. Porter and some of his early films and achievements are highlighted here, as well as some achievements that he did not... well, achieve.
There are a couple of references that didn't fit into the flow of the show that I would like to put here:
All of the definitions I used in todays episode were taken directly from the third edition of Film: A Critical Introduction by Maria Pramaggiore and Tom Wallis published by Person in 2011. I felt it would be tedious to say that three times during the show. The boo published by Kodack is How to Make Good Movies: A Complete Guide got the Amateur Movie Maker, published in the year?? by ???? Seriously, there is basically no information about this book’s publication inside of it besides "printed in the United States of America." I did a little bit of searching online and all I have found is that it is from the 1950's. These old filmmaking instructional books are helpful because they cover the ways people were making film before the advent of digital cameras and editing, which is understandable the focus of much of the internet's filmmaking resources.
