Charles
Bowers
Charles Bowers was an
American who was born on 7th June 1877 and was a cartoonist and a
slaptstick comedian. His life led an astonishing life earlier to getting
involved to motion pictures, He did all types of work over the years containing
circus jobs, theatrical work, bronco busting and cartooning. Bowers was a
talented cartoonist, and used his skills in a extremely creative mind to get
into the animation fields. In 1926 he started to give serious thought to live
action filmmaking and he also created a photographic method by using a camera
by which he could achieve truly amazing stop motion based special effects,
joining them into a non animated context. In terms of his work, it was
completely silent, his films showed an exceptional filmmaker who varied
animation with the purest form of slaptick, where imagination transmuted
ordinary features of everyday life into fantastic scenes using the creative
method of surrealism.
In terms of his work, in
my opinion his work has a sense of visual and a creative style verified by his
work and how it was constructed together. The animation works out good in terms
of movement of frame by frame, and also makes you think imaginative relating it
to slapstick animation.
