Then through stop motion animation techniques, the lines and forms would break away to entertainingly re-form the portrait into another. In this case, “Marcus” produced high-quality ink line portraits of celebrities and political figures.
POE FLICKER STRIKE SERIES
The Animated Hair series resembled the on-screen hand drawing gimmick established in Out of the Inkwell. Red Seal released cartoon novelty series such as The Animated Hair Cartoons by Cartoonist “Marcus,” and Inklings. Ray Bolger made his screen debut in this series and dated Ruth for a short time. Carrie of the Chorus, also known as Backstage Comedies, was one of the Red Seal series that featured Max's daughter, Ruth in a supporting role. The following year, Red Seal released 141 films that included documentaries, short comedy subjects, and live-action serials. The Red Seal Company committed to an ambitious release schedule of 26 films with The Inkwell Studio as the primary supplier. Because the Out of the Inkwell films were a major part of the program in Riesenfeld's theaters, the Fleischers were invited to become partners. Riesenfeld was the Theatrical Manager of the Strand, Rivoli, and Rialto theaters on Broadway. In 1924, Distributor, Edwin Miles Fadiman, and Hugo Riesenfeld formed the Red Seal Pictures Corporation. Other innovations included Ko-Ko Song Car-Tunes and sing-along shorts (featuring the famous " bouncing ball"), a precursor to Karaoke. These innovations include the "Rotograph", an early "Aerial Image" photographic process for compositing animation with live action backgrounds. Throughout the 1920s, Fleischer was one of the leading producers of animation with clever moments and numerous innovations. In addition, Huemer created Ko-Ko's companion, Fitz the Dog, who would evolve into Bimbo in 1930.
In addition to defining the clown, Huemer established the Fleischer style with its distinctive thick and thin ink lines. Huemer's new design and experience as an Animator moved them away from their dependency on the Rotoscope for fluid animation. In 1924, animator, Dick Huemer came to The Inkwell Studio and redesigned "The Clown" for more efficient animation. The Fleischer Brothers left and began their own studio with Dave as Director and Production Supervisor, and Max as Producer. In 1921, The Bray Studio ran afoul with legal issues, having contracted for more films than it could deliver to its distributor, Goldwyn Pictures. They featured Fleischer's first character, "The Clown," which became known as Ko-Ko the Clown in 1924. The first "Out of the Inkwell" films were produced through The Bray Studio. The novelty was based largely on the results of the " Rotoscope", invented by Fleischer to produce realistic animation. The Fleischer Studio was built on Max Fleischer's novelty film series, Out of the Inkwell (1919-1927).
This approach focused on surrealism, dark humor, adult psychological elements, and sexuality. But in their unique way, their artistry was expressed through a culmination of the arts and sciences. As a result, the Fleischer cartoons were rough rather than refined, consciously artistic rather than commercial. The cartoons of the Fleischer Studio were very different from the Disney product, both in concept and in execution. Unlike other studios, whose characters were anthropomorphic animals, the Fleischers' most successful characters were humans (with the exception of Bimbo, who was a black-and-white cartoon dog). In its prime, Fleischer Studios was a premier producer of animated cartoons for theaters, with Walt Disney Productions becoming its chief competitor in the 1930s.įleischer Studios characters included Koko the Clown, Betty Boop, Bimbo, Popeye the Sailor, and Superman. It was founded in 1929 by brothers Max Fleischer and Dave Fleischer who ran the pioneering company from its inception until Paramount Pictures, the studio's parent company and the distributor of its films, acquired ownership. Fleischer Studios ( / ˈ f l aɪ ʃ ər/) was an American animation studio located at 1600 Broadway, New York City, New York.
