Oh, ‘Mutie’. I couldn’t figure out what they were saying. I thought maybe ‘Movie’, which could make sense; they were ‘movies’, now they’re ‘talkies’. This is wonderful! Should be played with Singin’ In The Rain, Once In A Lifetime, and any other silent-to-sound theme films.
Western Electric's "sound-on film" process dominated the movie industry after 1930; the synchronized "sound-on-disc" method {Warner Bros. "Vitaphone", via the Victor Talking Machine Company} managed to hang on for several more years in smaller theaters, but was eventually eclipsed by the Western Electric method (and RCA's "Photophone" system as well).
The 'Sound on disk' method had the disadvantage of going out of sync if the film broke and was then spliced back together losing a few frames with each time.
Exactly! That situation was parodied in "Singin' in the Rain" (1952) ["YES, YES. YES!!!!"/"NO, NO, NO!!!!!"/"YES, YES, YES!!!"/'NO, NOOO, NOOooooooooooo......."].
Printing sound on film seems magical and impossible to me, I mess around with digital audio and film myself, I can't imagine audio working on that basis, but I suppose it's similar to the record. I feel like film doesn't have the necessary resolution to hold audio so precisely though, high grain and all that, but I suppose the film is moving really fast. Then again, after using film for long enough, magnetic tape/VHS technology begins to feel high-tech.
