I saw some nicely restored films from the studio, transferred at the correct speed and if not from the original negs then something fairly close. The quality was amazing. Nice exposure (from the roofless sets draped with muslin), contrast, unexpected sharpness and great story telling. I think I have become used to seeing bad transfers from bad prints to know just how good the images were in the teens.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101390"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101390" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101774">When my kids were little they read about the Watson family that had worked in the neighborhood studios (9 kids plus mom and dad!). Coy Watson Jr started at the studios when he was 9 mos old, and wrote a book about his experiences. We had fun finding houses and buildings that were still in the neighborhood. I think they would have liked to have been around in those days. It was fun when they would get occasional work on TV and recordings, but they never wanted to be "in the business."</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101390" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101390" dir="ltr"><span>Bruce Taylor</span></div><br> <div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101394"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101398" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101397"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101396"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101395"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101399"> </font></div><div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101404"><div id="yiv1133741008"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101403"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101410"><div class="yiv1133741008yqt5605731523" id="yiv1133741008yqtfd78200"><blockquote type="cite" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101428"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101427"><div style="font-family:helvetica, arial;font-size:10pt;color:black;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453404142784_101430"><br clear="none">

<div>This is very interesting. Is this the place where Keystone cops were made etc Great to hear where these old films were made, so much history all just wiped away. They can build housing estates for the masses but do not create employment opportunities for the masses. Eventually its going to be dog eat dog as portrayed in Mad Max.</div>

Years ago when I moved into the Echo Park district with my family I had no idea of the film history just a few blocks away. The original Mack Sennett and Keystone, Charlie Chaplin and Fox studios were all there at the beginning of the industry. There was a small plaque in a dirty courtyard at a freeway exit where a printing company stood for years. It was demolished a few years ago, along with the plaque, for high density housing to house the well-to-do hipsters that have inundated the neighborhood. </span></div>
