Understanding 9/11- Usage
- Public Domain
Charles O. Baptista, a Venezulean-born, US-educated piano salesman, started Scriptures Visualized Institute to produce educational and evangelism films. The films stood out since they often used very simple concepts and animation to bring their message to public. During World War II, projectors were in short supply, so the company partnered with audiovisual manufacturer Devry to create the Miracle Projector an inexpensive projector that was thus more accessible to churches. By the early 1950s, Baptista was doing more with filmstrips and audiovisual equipment than with 16mm film a shift that tied up much of the company's money and led to their ultimate demise in the 1960s.

The writer of this didn't know all his Genesis. He uses Genesis 2 to say that god created Adam and then later Eve.
Genesis 1 says that they were created at the same time. Who expects a xian to be knowledgeable, consistent or honest?

What we have here is a glorified "chalk-talk" or flannel graph many recieved as kids in Sunday school.
Certainly interesting as a history piece of how Christians used film as an evangelical tool in talkies' earlier days.
I was impressed by the cartooning (however static) and effects. It would be interesting to know who this cartoonist was and if it was a funded or independent work. I am amazed that many of these limited animated films in the Prelinger library remind me through their techniques of the way web animation is being used today.

Subject: Get Out Of The Way!!
Very poorly animated and narrated film that teaches us about how Good It Is To Have The Gospel In Our Lives. Sponsored by the same people who brought you the delirious Door To Heaven, this is again an oversimplificiation of the gospel, but is just SO slow moving and ponderous that even the more religious of the group will quickly grow tire of it. Beware!
