(what i like about this film is that it shows how much animation has come along and
how its got to where its at now and you can see how other work were inspired, you can see this from looking and the shapes of characters through out the betty boop film which seem similar to some Disney Characters.
This film was the very first super man film by Max Fleischer it was filmed in 1941,
Fleischer was an amican animater, he created other works such as Betty Boop, Popeye and KoKo the Clown. He Rotoscope to create his films, (Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films, other famous animaters went on to use this technique such as walt disney in his 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dawfs) This method of animation was invented by Fleischer. this device has now been replaced by computers in recent years. Super man was created with the idea of giving caracters a more realistic sence of movement, you could say it was a development of his earlier works like betty boop. Rotoscope began to see colour in 1936, but the colours were very dull incomparison to todays modern colours sceams and HD.
recently Kanye West has used a more modern day for of roto scoping demonstrated in his video... sorry the videos not amazin quality...
