This nine minute segment was transferred by Bob Brodsky at 16 fps with some intertitles slower for legibility. Brodksy’s film handling and transfer notes: "Charles Gilbert Collection Acc. 1229 “World Trip” marked selection…from a large Gilbert reel consisting of two types of material intercut: yellow base 16mm print of titles and surrounding scenes, probably made by a commercial photographer (and perhaps sold on shipboard to round-the-world travelers). This is intercut with 16mm black and white camera original reversal film, probably made by amateur photographers traveling in the Gilbert party. The black & white original contains date codes of •••, indicating film manufacture in 1928. The yellow print material has no date code. There was considerable shrinkage along edges, resulting in the tendency to twist. The black & white original film material is of generally low contrast and grainy. It was decided to render these yellow images as sepia, while the original material is rendered in its original black & white. Most of the print scenes were joined to one another by diagonal splices which were skipped in the transfer. This suggests that the print had been cut apart and reassembled by the Gilbert filmmakers to suit their needs." 2008-02-22 2008 video/mp4 http://windowsonmaine.library.umaine.edu/objects/6-4114D.mp4 Moving Image Moving image/Viewing copy QuickTime MPEG-4 222.29 MB 00:00:00 00:08:21 3637.57 kbit/s 44.1 kHz 320x240 4:3 29.97 fps (59.94 fields/sec) B&W w/ color tinting Silent eng eng 6-4114D University of Maine (Organization) This excerpt is limited to the China-related material from Gilbert's home movies, specifically "A Trip Around the World."
