What were the little motorized desktop Moviolas, the LV or LY? The one
every college football coach had in his office, according to Hollywood?
Some serious film analysis happened on those.
Of course a lot of us used Steenbecks to edit films… and still do.
They were quite expensive so would not be commonly used by researchers
not attached to institutions (or with large grants).

Hi all,
I'm wondering if people know of any texts that deal with the history
of the flatbed editor--more in its capacity as a viewing/analysis
machine than as an actual editing setup. I've found a few old
articles on the Moviola in journals like American Cinematographer,
but they're strictly trade press stuff, often just to advertise new
product. I'm interested in how these devices like Moviola and
Steenbeck helped foster new forms of film analysis (especially in the
social sciences), and when they became affordable/available beyond
big studio production. Any suggestions would be immensely helpful.
Thanks,
