	Chang
		The photographer, Ernest B. Schoedsack, had been a cameraman for Mack Sennett at Keystone, and during the war he had served as a combat cameraman for the Signal Corps.
		Schoedsack's last directing effort was the prologue of "This Is Cinerama" in 1952.
		Schoedsack, those two young chaps who filmed 'Grass,' have returned from the Siamese jungles with this new study in elemental life.

Lasky; Milestone Film and Video; 1925-silent)
		It's about the bi-annual migration of the 50,000 Bakhtiari poor nomad tribal people of western Iran and a half-million of their animals, as they seek the Promised Land of summer grass for their survival trekking across the rugged deserts, snowy mountains and fast-flowing rivers of Persia.
		The film is directed by Merian Cooper and Ernest Schoedsack in cooperation with journalist Marguerite Harrison, the men also went on to be the codirectors of the 1927 documentary Chang and the acclaimed 1933 fictional King Kong.

		Six-foot-six Iowa-native Ernest B. Schoedsack was fascinated with the mechanics of film photography long before taking his first movie job with the Keystone Studios in 1914.
		Some of Schoedsack's projects were sedate little domestic comedies like Long Lost Father (1934), while others were along the spectacular lines of The Last Days of Pompeii (1936).
		Still on the cutting edge of technological advances in the 1950s, Schoedsack directed the in-your-face prologue of the 1952 box-office hit This is Cinerama.

	King Kong
		King Kong is a classic 1933 Hollywood horror/adventure film from RKO about a gigantic prehistoric gorilla, brought from a remote island to New York City to be exhibited as a natural wonder, that escapes to cause mass destruction.
		The film, directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, is notable for Willis O'Brien's stop-motion animation, Max Steiner's musical score, and actress Fay Wray's performance as the ape's improbable love interest.
		In the finale, which has become an enduring pop icon, Kong is gunned down from atop the Empire State Building by a swarm of Army biplanes.

	KING KONG (1933)
		He was replaced by Creelman, but it was actually Rose, Schoedsack's wife, who wrote the dialogue.
		Schoedsack and Rose previously worked on RANGO (1931); while Cooper and Schoedsack produced and/or directed GRASS (1925), CHANG (1927), THE FOUR FEATHERS (1929) and THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME.
		A sequel to the original was quickly done in 1933, entitled THE SON OF KONG, with many of the same behind- the-scenes talent: Cooper, Schoedsack, Rose, Steiner, Polglase, Spivack, Cheesman, O'Brien, Delgado, Larrinaga and Crabbe; the following cast members recreated their roles: Armstrong, Reicher, Wong, Johnson and Clemento.

	Chang A Drama of the Wilderness Film Review - Time Out Film
		Cooper liked to call himself an explorer; Schoedsack was a newsreel cameraman.
		Schoedsack's camerawork is the most impressive feature in the team's follow-up, Chang.
		While focusing on Kru, a Lao farmer in northern Thailand, and his family, and interspersing the dramatic material with domestic scenes, it feels staged and self-conscious; the film-makers are clearly more interested in bagging leopards, tigers and elephants.

		The filmmakers captured unforgettable images of courage and determination as the Bakhtiari braved the raging and icy waters of the half-mile-wide Karun River.
		Cooper and Schoedsack almost froze when they filmed the breathtaking, almost unbelievable, sight of an endless river of men, women and children--their feet bare or wrapped in rags--winding up the side of the sheer, snow-covered rock face of the 15,000-foot-high Zardeh Kuh mountain.
		Filmmakers Merian C. Cooper, Ernest Schoedsack, and Marguerite Harrison persuaded the Bakhtyari (the film's spelling) tribe to let them come along on their amazing migration.

		Before making history with 1933's King Kong, filmmakers Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack wowed audiences with their chilling adaptation of this Richard Connell short story.
		I give high marks for the tense and atmospheric direction by Irving Pichel and Ernest B. Schoedsack, but I must admit to be bothered by what Hollywood did to Richard Connell's classic short story of the hunter and hunted.
		Yes, the original has General Zaroff hunting a world famous big-game hunter (named Sanger Rainsford in the story), and there is certainly something compelling about the hunter now becoming the prey (not to mention the hunter's prey becoming the hunter of the hunter hunting the prey...if you know what I mean).

	Barnes & Noble.com - Grass -- Merian C. Cooper - DVD - Black & White
		This pioneering documentary, directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack in cooperation with journalist Marguerite Harrison, records the travels of Bakhtiari Tribe of Persia (now known as Iran).
		In this case, the tribe was forced to scale a snow-covered mountain range, with their animals in tow, in order to move on to new pastures, with many of the Bakhtiaris making the journey in bare feet.
		Cooper and Schoedsack followed Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life with another adventure documentary, Chang, before moving on to dramatic features, including the classic King Kong.

		Kong was in reality a metal skeleton with sponge-rubber muscles covered in rabbit fur, but 30s audiences and the 30s cast found it realistic, and that movement provides one with a feeling it would take more than a computer to beat this.
		The famous wall and door, behind which Kong resides was first used in Cecil B. De Mille's King of Kings, and was later used as a burning backdrop in the doomed city of Atlanta in Gone With The Wind.
		One thing you have to give directors Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack credit for in this film is that they give Kong a big build up and then they deliver.

		Working with a modest budget, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, the producers of King Kong, had to make do with limited resources in terms of sets.
		The great ape was a skillful combination of a metal mesh skeleton, a mixture of rubber and foam for the muscle structure and rabbit fur for his hair.
		With trick photography, rear projection and an array of glass plates, Cooper and Schoedsack helped their three cinematographers blend O'Brien's stop-motion-animated sequences with real actors to create a realistic beast.

	THE SON OF KONG (33)
		Although the final destructive sequence does appear rushed, Kong's death is treated so matter-of-factly that it becomes more powerful than really should have been the case.
		While the emphasis in Ernest B. Schoedsack's film is mainly on its technical aspects, especially the use of effects and the activities of the title character, there are other points of interest contained within the production.
		Outside of the scenes set on Kong Island, screenwriter Ruth Rose (She 35) manages to pack a lot of incident into very little screen time.

		Although it's not the most artistic film from the period, The Most Dangerous Game mostly interests for its use of the King Kong set and its tightly constructed narrative structure.
		Some modern lightweight films could learn a cinematic lesson from directors Irving Pichel and Ernest Schoedshack's sixty-three-minute running time: When a film doesn't have enough material to warrant stretching it to ninety minutes, let it finish at its own proper pace.
