    Gozo Kawamura is the forgotten craftsman/sculptor. Amazing to see how he worked.

    I do this for a living. Amazing to see the techniques of the men who came before me.

    This is really cool! The guy peening metal without hearing protection is probably glad this was a silent movie.

    Fantastic! I learned so much and the music was delightful. Now, I'd really like to know some of the social history. Who were these men, these master craftsmen, who could never have imagined that we would be watching them 100 years later? Lost to history, I imagine. Thanks for posting this most enjoyable film!

    After watching this, it almost feels a shame to mainly credit only one artist. I seen many very skilled craftsmen/artists on this project.

    A side note: People in photos from 1922 have serious expressions on their faces, but in non-Holloywood motion pictures you can clearly people really did smile during times before the world turned color from black & white.

    What an undertaking. I wonder what that whole process would cost today. Probably something near a million.

    just imagine how much sense it would make if marble was able to be poured into a mold made from a wax sculpture - well, there is a patent for artificial poured marble on Google Patents but that's too much of a stretch so every single marble statue was carved by hand!!
