Impressively calm camera crew records Jackie the Lion for MGM studio’s roaring lion production logo (1929) (via)
Sigh. CGI ruined everything, didn’t it?
How terrifying would it be, being the people recording a lion’s roar at POINT BLANK. What a brilliant logo though, a great piece of film to stamp all your movies with and symbolising the greatness of film - capturing a moment, a risk, a reward, an instance of nature and beauty, of danger and duty, and representing your passions and heart, courage and risk of investing in someone else’s visions.
