Synopsis

Between 1928 and 1929 silent movies slipped away and "talkies" took over theaters around the world. Movie producers rushed to carve their names on the revolution, pushing aside the scientist who invented the tools that transformed the industry. Now We're Talking is the exciting biography of Ted Case (1888-1944). In a backyard laboratory in Auburn, New York, Ted discovered a way for sound and action to be synchronized on moving film and then replayed as a natural illusion. The book looks at Ted's fascination with light and sound waves at Yale University and his top-secret work during World War I. It follows his rise to the pinnacle of motion pictures and exposes the business deals of movie moguls that deprived him of recognition and his life's legacy. Although written with the intermediate reader in mind, scientists, historians, inventors, movie engineers and students of all ages will be deeply moved by Ted's perseverance and passion for research and development. The story of Theodore W. Case, one of the great inventors of the 20th century, has now been told. "An important contribution to motion picture history." Fay Vincent, former Chairman of Columbia Pictures

Biographie de l'auteur

After touring the birthplace of talking movies, 8-year-old Luke Colella asked to buy a book about the famous inventor who put sound on film. He was told a biography was never written. Inspired, mother and son began filling the gap and writing the untold story of Theodore W. Case. Now 10, Luke enjoys music, collecting baseball cards, sports, family, friends and school. His mother, Antonia (Toni) Colella, is a reading teacher with degrees from Rosary Hill College, George Washington University and Syracuse University. She has written articles on education for newspapers and professional journals, and in 1999 created the New York State Newbery Quiz Bowl. Mother and son enjoy life in Auburn, New York.
