Surreal montage of shots illustrate different forms of energy.
Quick shots of an equestrian statue - Watts' (?) 'Physical Energy' in Kensington Gardens. Animation shows a brush dripping ink on paper - it forms into the word 'ENERGY'. Studio sequence shows a man in striped pyjamas getting out of bed, opening the window and doing his stretching exercises. Animation shows a scarecrow outside doing same. C/U of dictionary entry for 'energy'.
Brief animated diagram illustrates the energy present in every atom. Quick shots of a coal mine. The striped pyjama man drinks some beer and with the extra energy does his daily dozen in speeded up footage. Animated diagrams illustrate the fact that the sun produces lots of energy but wastes it; bearded 'Waste Inspector' points and croaks "You're wasting energy!".
More animation shows that in a small area of the desert, enough energy is wasted to give the whole of Great Britain solar power. C/U of electricity bill. We then see several shots of an attractive blonde in a short white dress firing a bow and arrow - this creates energy. Girl in a swimsuit takes a photograph of another girl asleep in a deck chair (studio); developed photo is just of her legs.
Quick shots of aeroplanes in flight, man drilling in coal mine, wrestling match. In the studio a Winshurst (?) machine is wound to produce electric charge. C/U of someone's finger touching the metal coated tip and getting an electric shock. The blonde stands on a glass stool (C/U of great wedge shoes) and is given electric energy through her finger from the machine. She then kisses a man and he jumps away when he gets an electric shock. The girl laughs.
Note: I haven't seen this but sounds like the work of Joe Noble - JH.
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
