Richard LeacockFrames of Reference (1960)

This PSSC film utilizes a fascinating set consisting of a rotating table and furniture occupying surprisingly unpredictable spots within the viewing area. The fine cinematography by Abraham Morochnik, and funny narration by University of Toronto professors Donald Ivey and Patterson Hume is a wonderful example of the fun a creative team of filmmakers can have with a subject that other, less imaginative types might find pedestrian.

Subject: thanks!
Thanks for making this classic video available! I use it every semester in my physics classes at a community college in California. I'm working on producing a version with DVD chapter marks, and possibly closed captions (which we're under legal pressure to include on all audiovisual materials).

The PSSC works are simly unique. Precious pieces of knowledge and culture they remain unmatched to this day.

Thanks ever so much for taking the time to digitalise and make available these classic videos.
