| Description: | EYES - BY THE THOUSAND Very very cool and super clean microscopic footage of flies and flies' eyes, and also objects seen through many-lensed eye of fly. Magnified shot of front part of fly, showing head, part of body and part of a leg. More magnified shot fly's head being turned back and forth; here one can see that the eyes are divided into thousands of sections, looking like a screen in this shot. Title: "Now for our micro-cine pictures." CU small microscope; man's hand holding tiny tool picks up miniscule thing from slide on table. Magnified shot of fly eye being turned around. Super-Microscopic shot of flies eye - here the many lenses look like diamond shaped scales. "An experiment in optics." MCU toy clown on table bows up and down while he cranks a wheel in front of him; this wheel is hooked by a band to a machine at left. ECU hand holding "an ordinary cine-lens." CU bowing clown filmed through the movie camera. Microscopic shot of fly eye section (where it looks like scales). This goes out of focus w/ the diamonds or squares becoming smaller then turning into circles, with a tiny bowing clown inside each one. This is a wonderful stark b&w shot that goes on for 20 some secs. Then it fades back into the magnified fly's eye. | |
