Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier
E G and G Inc. Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier. Harold Edgerton of MIT became a household name with frozen images made with electronic flashes: you must have seen the coronet-style milk drop and bullet through an apple. 'Fastax'-type cine cameras with continuous narrow bands of film, and prisms to keep the image sharp, must have been another expertise. These cine cameras did not use sprocket holes for intermittent film movement. But it seems unlikely that effects of refraction could have allowed the images (on 16 mm film) to be of much use. Very fast shutters are not in practice very important, because most objects aren't bright enough.
The short film here (which may be incomplete) is a collection of scraps: it may have been made as a sales tool, or perhaps to point up areas for improvement, though my best guess is to show a selection of effects to be used in fake 'nuclear tests'. 'Lookout Mountain' may have been fed with their material. My best guess is this company was Jewish, and kept the lid firmly closed on any speculations that nukes didn't exist, were over-rated, not dangerously radioactive, and all the rest.
The film is certainly ambiguous and open to several interpretations. My guess is it was a promotional demo, a techie US equivalent of the Jewish film crews which faked German atrocities and took care to ignore Jewish mass murders in the USSR, and their fictional TV and film entertainment equivalents—Norman Lear, Spielberg atc ad nauseam.
Note: the original format wasn't standard; playback may be better when more elongated. Sound track is Mozart's K522 Musical Joke; I'd have preferred Walton's Facade, but didn't want copyright issues).

Edgerton, Germeshausan, and Grier.
Official Fakers to the Atomic Energy Commission.
Harold Edgerton Studied electrical engineering, and made his career at MIT. He experimented with electronic flash (which displaced magnesium flashbulbs) and worked on new special effects ...
In 1934, Edgerton, with Germeshausen and Grier (also MIT) formed an electronics/ film company. After 1945, they worked with the Atomic Energy Commission.
Their 'nuclear' films seem to have been kept apart from Lookout Mountain's films, probably to firmly insulate the 'Jewish' fraudsters from 'goyim' outsiders.
At that time, special effects (this list partly taken from a Focal Encyclopedia of Photography) included:
* More than one exposure on different parts of the same film (with masks)
* Double exposures (e.g. plain white title lettering)
* Back projection,glass paintings, models, and faked aerial views
* Negatives (in black and white) for eerie effects
* Lighting from below to make human faces look uncanny
* Speed changes with film to give faster or slower appearance
* Inserting of one or more frames for split-second effects
The undated film that follows
Photography of NUCLEAR DETONATIONS
is 12 minutes of silent film clips, maybe to show military brass the special effects available, at that time, to fool the public. (I do not know whether the film, or some version(s), had a soundtrack).
Other effects included:
* Time lapse to allow plumes of smoke to rise slowly (hence the speedy clouds!)
* Obvious hydrocarbon explosions (orange + black smoke)
* 'Wax ball' and other models shown without indication of their true scale
* Smoke, cloud and/or mist effects
* Odd motion, for example of foreground objects, probably as distractions
EG&G - Jewish Film Fakers to the AEC
I haven't found much about Germeshausen, or Grier, or any of the other people in EG&G. They must have had financial links, e.g. with Baruch; and they must have had military links, of the hardware type; and no doubt connection with NASA, who of course need images, and links with propaganda organs such as the National Geographic Perhaps someone could provide a run-down.

So, he could take a high speed movie of some tiny explosion, slow it down to make it look massive, and super impose that in front of a desert scene, or ships at sea, to make it look big, and there you have a nuclear explosion.
From photographer to major defense contractor. How about that??

Short video on Edgerton (but there's little on Germeshausen or Grier).
I remember seeing EG&G on something all the time. I think it was computer fans.

This is EGG in 'Operation Sandstone', 1948:-

I just watched it. Produced at Lookout Mountain studios.

Now, what would you see here that would tell you this is a nuke?
....
I was pondering about these "Calutron girls". What exactly did they do? It seems they watched gauges and turned knobs. Why couldn't an electronic circuit be designed to do that?

I've looked at several sources. They all say about the same. Cut and paste, even.
This may have been the forerunner of Mission Control in Houston. What were those people doing?
'Mission Control', Houston
I saw somewhere a comment that the NASA 'control' people were just clerks or something acting. Wouldn't surprise me at all.-- Rerev.
I tried to identify some of the logos on the far wall; might be something interesting in there.
