And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It does look like the front bumper is too high before the impact. The accident car would have to accelerate very quickly in reverse to match speed with the other car. Maybe it was pulled backwards off the ramp? Al_in_Ottawa
Back then they'd crash an airplane into a tree or house to get the shot. WC Fields was famous for wrecking automobiles. Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin would destroy houses (not set built). Even the Little Rascals featured crashing cars or panel vans through fences or into buildings. I think the smippet shown here is from a Harold Lloyd flick.
Ah, the old tree in the middle of the freaking road. I love that. There's several small towns around here that still have that. WTH is wrong with the road crews? Don't bother chopping it down, just pour asphalt around it. I'm sure people will drive around it, no problem!
You can just catch the little ramp that the front car runs up before the crash

I think if shot in reverse, the car was pulled from offscreen. But no neck snap of the driver and do you really think a woman driving in reverse?

ReplyDeleteCarmel Calif has a law agains't cutting trees down in the road. Also women can't wear high heels on the sidewalks.
DeleteEarly use of stop motion. Shoot one frame at a time. I think this is so because of the herky jerky action.
