From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sid Glenar (1903–1993[1]) was a pioneering animation camera operator who specialized in trick photography and special effects in animation, and was instrumental in perfecting the bouncing-ball technique in 1926 when he worked for Fleischer Studios.
His career started with the Fleischer brothers in New York from 1923–1928[2], where he worked on short films for Betty Boop and Koko the Clown, including the "Out of the Inkwell" series, which features Glenar's hand onscreen drawing Koko at the start of each episode. [
While working on the animated musical short featuring the song “Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?” (1926), Glenar perfected the bouncing-ball effect by using a white ball on a stick (often held by Lou Fleischer) [2] that the holder would tap along with the song lyric in time to the beat of the music. [3]
Glenar remained at Fleischer Studios until 1928 [4], when he moved to Los Angeles to work at Charles Mintz Studios. In the late 1940s he started Glenar Productions, which provided animation and title services, including commercials for Pabst Blue Ribbon. [5]
Glenar retired in the 1970s, but continued to mentor young animators and filmmakers until his death in Toluca Lake, CA in 1993.
He was awarded the Golden Award for 50 Years of Service by the Motion Picture Screen Cartoonists Awards in 1986.[6]
