boblipton Charles Urban was a film producer and distributor who, like George Albert Smith, tried to produce a commercially successful motion picture film process -- more difficult than still color photography, simply because it required more time for each frame's exposure. He found a fine partner for this early experiment in Percy Smith, who was working on time lapse photography -- take exposures at a rate of a frame a minute and then exhibit at a more normal sixteen frames a second, and a still life becomes a moving subject.As a result, this short subject of several flowers bursting from their buds, while it may not be very interesting to the modern viewer, is important in a couple of technical ways. Anyone interesting in the history and evolution of motion pictures should be fascinated.
