0 CGI, but he definitely used special effects. Camera tricks and other effects. Not knocking it, I'm still amazed by what he did 100 years ago.

it's a nitpick, but you mean visual effects. specials effects are in-camera effects, like the wind he's walking into. rain from a sprinkler system is a special effect, rain from a simulation and composite is a visual effect.

There's lot of camera tricks and stuff used. Rear projection, which was used even up to Terminator 2. He did match cuts and clever editing. There's miniature work. There was a whole sequence that used the same technique Parent Trap and Back to the Future 2 would use to have the same actor in the frame twice. But it was all talent.

Thanx so much for sharing! Buster Keaton. Née Joseph Francis Keaton IV. ('Buster' was a nickname given to him, after a tumble down a flight of stairs when he was only six months old. When he fell, everyone ran to help. Buster landed at the bottom of the stairs, shook his head, and sat up, miraculously unhurt, and a family friend, Harry Houdini [Yes. That Houdini], the Keaton's partner in The Keaton-Houdini Medicine Show, said, "That was sure a buster!" Back then, 'buster' meant a fall, or a bronco buster. It was not used as a name. Buster's dad said that 'Buster' would be a good thing to call his son, and the nickname stuck. When the four of them went into Vaudeville, Houdini became a solo act, and Buster and his mom and dad became The Three Keatons.) What a Man. He could do it All. And did! No CGI. What you saw was All Buster. So athletic. Wrote. Directed. Produced. Acted. Comedy. Drama. Composed, played, and sang. Danced, too. Conceived and executed stunts. Designed and built machines and props for gags. The famous watertower torrent broke his neck! ('Sherlock Jr.' --- Buster didn't account for such water pressure And he didn't know he'd broken his neck 'til, I think he said it was 13, years later at a routine exam when his doctor asked him when he broke his neck. Buster thought back and said he'd been knocked down hard by falling water, and hit his head on the train rail, and asked if that could be when it happened. The doctor told him it probably was.) And, oh, that well-known falling housefront bit! ('Steamboat Bill Jr.' --- He only had about a 2" clearance in that window frame. And the housefront weighed 1500 lbs.) The rocks and boulders he's often seen running from ('Seven Chances') may not have been real rocks, but those papier-maché props weighed up to 400 lbs. Quite impressive! The Great Stone Face. (Buster found out during his time in Vaudeville with his parents, that if he laughed during a bit, the audience didn't, so he trained himself to keep a straight face all the time.) The Greatest of All Time! A really Great guy. The true Iron Man: broke most every bone in his body, and kept going. And . . . He had pinpoint accuracy with a custard pie at 27 feet, even in his later years! RIP, darling Buster, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories. (Yes. I absolutely adore Buster Keaton. For 70+ years now.)

100pc agreed. My favorite comedian (some would argue; it comes down to taste) but finest stuntman and yes, a brilliant, often underestimated director. Everything is planned and comes off as spontaneous. He did so many things for the first time ever and the imagination is quite astonishing, always delightful. Keaton builds pace and creates tension like no-one else. The word "genius" gets thrown around a lot but here it is. Bravo Buster

Excellent compilation of Buster Keaton's comedic talents [despite his signature deadpan expression] as well as a sampling of some of the best [and most dangerous] stunts which Keaton performed himself in his films in the time before stunt doubles [or Jackie Chan]. My compliments on the musical selections for this video which perfectly complements the action. Not only did Buster perform all the dangerous stunts in his films, but he was also directed, produced, and wrote many of those films starting when he was only 25 [1920] as well as devising all the stunts himself. Aside from Chaplin, there has never been a creative filmmaker of this caliber-ever! Fun fact: six of Keaton's films are listed in the National Film Registry [as being of historical importance for preservation]. Buster, you were the best!

@misterwhyte Жыл бұрын

@@ExoticChild Long story short: Buster Keaton had some issues with the studio executives. He often went over budget while filming (in The General especially) and that lead him to lose his creative freedom. Also, around the end of the 1920s, movies started to have sound and actors were now required to talk. For many actors of the silent era, the transition was difficult. Studio executives didn't think he was good enough to be a leading man in talking films so they kind of buried him. Also, in his private life he had to deal with two consecutive failed marriages, which lead him to depression and alcoholism. Eventually he more or less left the movie industry, became mostly sober and luckily his third marriage was a success. He never directed another movie after all that, he only just appeared in small roles in other people's films.

Orson Welles uses the word clown in the sense that he was someone who dedicated his life to make people laugh. Also, Buster Keaton came from a vaudeville family, started his career on the stage and he kept on doing so his entire life. Vaudeville often included clown acts similar to what his family was doing. So I believe Welles is correct, he was the greatest clown in the History of cinema. I also agree with you though that he was so much more than just a funny clown! :)

That one stunt was all on the train engineer. Buster just had to trust him. If the engineer gives it just a little too much power those big wheels spin and that link would tear Buster apart. Before they shot the scene the engineer told Buster he could do it, no problem.
