The Wisconsin Bioscope is the
leading silent film production company in the Midwestern
United States, if not the world, today.
All our productions are photographed with a hand-cranked
motion picture camera on black & white 35 millimeter
film, almost always at the rate of 16 frames per second. To
crank faster is simply wasteful.
All our productions are developed, printed, toned, and
edited by ourselves, following the motto:
If you want it done
right, do it yourself.
Whenever possible, we film using daylight. Why pay for
something that the sun freely provides?
We understand that other companies have experimented with
motion pictures that, to some extent, duplicate color and
sound.
This is a grave error.
If the public were to want color, it would visit a picture
gallery or, better still, a botanical garden in the full
bloom of spring!
If it were to want sound, it would attend the theatre or
concert hall!
Although it may be temporarily seduced by kinemacolor,
talking pictures, or even tele-vision, we know the great
mass of the public has a deep desire for high-quality
motion pictures produced and exhibited in the
tried-and-true manner:
Pantomime
accompanied by Live Music.
When false attractions grow tiresome, as they always do,
the public will again demand the product pioneered by Mr.
Edison and the frères Lumiére.
The Wisconsin
Bioscope stands ready
for that day!
