George Sidney won back-to-back Oscars from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for two of his one-reel films. Both dealt with technical subjects and reflected his interest in how film might complement and document science and scientific procedures. In Quicker 'n a Wink (1940), MIT professor Harold E. Edgerton demonstrated strobe photography, which allowed the audience to see "what happens at speeds too fast to be discerned by the naked eye." Of Pups and Puzzles (1941), showed how the US War Department used dogs in designing aptitude tests. |
