The Early Bird and the Worm

Year Published: 1928

Creator: Kinex

Description: Lightly restored and cleaned up with soundtrack added, "The Early Bird and the Worm" stop-motion short from Kinex studios; the same who produced the "Chip the Wooden Man" series of stop motion shorts. The film is a charming short animation that flips the rules of nature on it's head, where this time the worm ends up chasing the bird. *Please contact regarding usage* Corrected exposure/contrast and corrected framing, as well as deflickering. Was a decent print but not super sharp. Played at 16 FPS. That was the standard silent speed for 16mm home movie cameras, so likely people would tend to have their projectors running around that speed. These shorts were also created for home release rather than theatrical. Soundtrack added, songs from LoC Jukebox: Bygones - Paul Whiteman Orchestra Truly - Paul Whiteman Orchestra
