Cecil B. Demile was one of worlds most famous directors. He changed the way movies are made forever.

He invented the "boom" camera, a camera that could move around the set providing a new way to make a scene. When the first motion pictures that had sound came out he invented something called the "blimp" which could bock out sounds made by machinery when filming a scene. He also invented something called "Rembrandt lighting" which lit up a characters face making it easier for the audience to see the actor and it also gave an added affect. Cecel B. Demille made the first two original epics "The Ten Commandments" his last movie was making the second of the two which he more well known.

This is one of the earlier versions of the boom camera. The camera could move around the set giving an added affect to the scene.

This is what is called a Blimp when making movies. It was able to block out sounds made by machinery and not interfere with the scene.



Notice how in this picture the light shining on this womens face comes at a more sideways angle then just straight above. This is another one of Ceciles inventions called Rambrandt lighting. It was where you light up the actors face giving the women a more dramatic expression.

This may not be the same movie that Cecile made since there was another "The Ten Commandments" made after he died. Cecile actually made "The Ten Commandments" twice, once in his earlier years and the other was his last movie he made which problably became more well known.
