The film is a series of 35mm stills, and by shooting over a period of several years, Charles was able to capture very precise moments and perspectives in and around the house. You see the house as Charles might have seen it and get a sense for the spatial relationships and how light interacted with the architecture. Some of the more subtle details are highlighted in these photographs: a window with butterflies pressed between the glass; a small black and white photograph of trees on the facade; the spiral staircase from multiple angles. House was produced using a unique system of optical fades, which Charles invented especially for this film."--Eames Office website,|uhttp:// eamesdesigns.com/library-entry/films-of-charles-and-ray- eames/ 520 Photographs of the home and studio, designed and built by Charles Eames on a hill in California overlooking the ocean, reflecting the interests of Mr. and Mrs. Eames and show the influence of Japanese simplicity in the architecture and in the furnishings. Filmograph. 520 Set to music, a rapid photographic portrait of a house, with detailed and distant shots of the inside, outside, and the surrounding gardens.--Peter De Domenico, 6/94. 541 0 PFA 1604-01-5277.
