Nicely done. See even in Star Wars the world used to be black and white. The world became colourful around the 40's right? For the history buffs: Can someone tell me why the old movies were played at a faster speed than real life? Posted by: Da Wife at February 8, 2007 09:39 AM
Old movies tended to play at faster speed because the cameras were operated by hand. The projectors played back at a faster rate so the film appeared faster. As things were standardized at 24 frames per second it became a technique to deliberately record the film at a slower rate so that it runs faster. Posted by: Clive at February 8, 2007 12:39 PM
