Bill Granizo - An Autobiography in Pictures
![]() I saw drawings that moved, that came out of ink wells and then jumped back in. Now this was the way I wanted to draw even though I didn't know how to draw the easy way. Dad said that the man who shoed the moves from the dark little room drew the pictures on blank film. He did this when he had nothing else to do. He took me to see one of these men who gave us some film with letters on it. He told us that he didn't draw on the film but the projectionists in big cities did. Since he showed me how he made the pictures move, I decided to do the same at home. First, the shoe box needed a hole to hold a drinking glass sideways. Then a lit candle went inside the box with the film rolled up. For a second, a light shone on the wall as the whole works burned up. |
