[The Art Of The Moving Picture by Vachel Lindsay]@TWC D-Link bookThe Art Of The Moving Picture CHAPTER IV 1/15
CHAPTER IV. THE MOTION PICTURE OF FAIRY SPLENDOR Again, kind reader, let us assume it is eight o'clock in the evening, for purposes of future climax which you no doubt anticipate. Just as the Action Motion Picture has its photographic basis in the race down the high-road, just as the Intimate Motion Picture has its photographic basis in the close-up interior scene, so the Photoplay of Splendor, in its four forms, is based on the fact that the kinetoscope can take in the most varied of out-of-door landscapes.
It can reproduce fairy dells.
It can give every ripple of the lily-pond.
It can show us cathedrals within and without.
It can take in the panorama of cyclopaean cloud, bending forest, storm-hung mountain.
