Koko’s Paradise (Patreon)

Out of the Inkwell | Koko's Paradise | 1926 | 16mm | Koko The Clown | Max Fleischer Studios Cartoon

With Max shooting target practice in his studio, KoKo and Fitz find themselves ascending to heaven and learning the ropes of angelhood. But they end up back on Earth, dodging bullets in Max's real-world duck-shooting gallery. The series was the result of three short experimental films that Max Fleischer independently produced from 1914 to 1916 to demonstrate his invention, the rotoscope, a device consisting of a film projector and easel used to achieve realistic movement for animated cartoons. The rotoscope projected motion picture film through an opening in the easel, covered by a glass pane serving as a drawing surface. The image on the projected film was traced onto paper, advancing the film one frame at a time as each drawing was made. Fleischer's younger brother Dave Fleischer, who was working as a clown at Coney Island, served as the model for their first famous character, eventually known as Koko the Clown. #KokoTheClown #FleischerStudios #BettyBoop #Popeye Visit https://www.patreon.com/Maxfleischercartoons to help us scan more!
