	Bray Productions -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The studio was founded in December of 1914 by J. Bray, perhaps the first first studio entirely devoted to (The condition of living or the state of being alive) animation, and series animation at that (he was probably beaten a few months earlier by (additional info and facts about Raoul Barré) Raoul Barré's studio).
		The studio was putting out more than three reels of screen magazines, the educational and training films, and experimental films such as an unnamed sound-on-film cartoon of Dr. Hugo Reisenfield, and "The Debut of Thomas Cat" (February 8, 1920), the first cartoon made in color.
		In evaluating the quality of the Bray product, there is a strong conflict between the cheap cost-cutting exemplified in the business practices of J. Bray contrasted with the equally-strong artistic sensibilities of the directors Bray hired, most of whom quit rather than bend to the pressure to cheapen their product.

	THE HISTORY OF HAMMER FILMS
		His styling and the committed work of the technical staff turned a studio that was cranking out B films into a studio who granted the illusion of A quality films and the look of much larger studios like Pinewood and England's MGM studio.
		Bray studio quickly became everything from European villages to London houses to Spanish villages as seen in THE CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF, a film that launched the career of a young Oliver Reed.
		The studio flourished through the 1960's but as the decade was closing a change in the direction of the studio was becoming evident, thanks in part to Michael Carreras becoming the company director after his grandfather's death in 1950.

	Back to the Old Haunt: A Day at Bray Studios, 1998
		He was unwittingly ushering in a new era for the 17th century Thameside mansion; over the next fifteen years, Hammer Film Productions made the house and its grounds their own, christening the facility Bray Studios and shooting some of their greatest films inside the house, and in the custom-built sound stages on the grounds.
		The Day at Bray Studios event was organised on Hammer's behalf by Donald Fearney, who invited stars and crew-members to the studio near Windsor for an informal chance to reminisce and meet enthusiasts.
		During her acceptance of the plaque, Beryl Earl expressed her delight that Bray had been chosen for such a landmark occasion, adding that she would be happy to see the Hammer luminaries and enthusiasts return to the studio for another reunion.

		Bray (1879-1978) patented several animation processes, many of which were directly stolen from Winsor McCay during an underhanded visit (Bray was pretending to be a reporter interviewing McCay).
		Bray’s patented technique was to position backgrounds over drawings done on paper, while Hurd’s innovation was to trace the moving drawings themselves onto clear celluloid.
		Bray also patented the use of gray tones, as opposed to simple fl and white line drawings, in 1915.

		The secret to the success of the influential Hammer Studios, which revitalized the horror film in the late 1950s and '60s, was no secret at all.
		He inherited the "studio" -- which was a studio in name only, having no soundstages of its own -- from his father Enrique, a Spanish immigrant who owned a chain of movie theatres and gradually became involved in distribution as a means of obtaining a greater share of the profits.
		Meanwhile in Hollywood, the studios were clinging to the assembly-line method of filmmaking and were still caught in the clutches of the various censor boards across the nation.

		The Fleischer Studio teamed with Dr. Lee DeForest, an early sound experimenter, to produce sing-along cartoons with sound as early as 1924.
		When the true sound revolution did come, the Fleischer Studio was one of the few animation producers to survive the transition.
		In fact, it was in one of their first few "Talkartoons" (as they called their early post-Mickey sound cartoons) that they introduced their biggest star — Betty Boop.

		Yet, at the same time, Hammer Studios: The Bray Years also provides a valuable rejoinder to film theory types that, perhaps more often than not, things are what they appear to be – an X is an X is an X – and seemingly significant choices are made for the most mundane reasons.
