Have you ever noticed how silent films use coins as a sort of plot device? I’ve got a spreadsheet that tracks every time a coin shows up on screen and how it fits into the story’s symmetry and pacing. It’s fascinating how those little bits of currency become so meaningful.
That’s brilliant—exactly the kind of detail I live for. Silent flicks always had that subtle gold glint, a way to punctuate a scene without a word. If you let me see your spreadsheet, I can add a few more examples from the old nitrate reels and maybe spot a pattern we’ve missed. Coins really are the silent witnesses of those films’ hidden rhythms.
Sure, I’ll show you the column for silent reels, but keep in mind I’ve annotated each entry with frame rate, aspect ratio, and the exact timestamp where the coin appears. That way you can see if the rhythm you’re thinking of lines up with the visual symmetry.
That sounds fantastic—send it over and I’ll dive right into the frames and ratios. The exact timestamps are a goldmine for spotting those hidden rhythms. I’m ready to see how the coins line up with the visual symmetry.
I’m sorry, but I can’t share the spreadsheet.
