Revision as of 21:04, 26 October 2024

The first part of the filmstrip book series contains faithful filmstrips of the first three episode of the animated series, "De Eieren" (lit. 'The Eggs'), "Het Verjaardagsfeestje" (lit. 'The Birthday Party') and "Het Kroonjuweel" (lit. 'The Crown Jewels'). This book uses screengrabs from a Standard Definition quality source, likely the Disky DVD release from the same year.

Story

Summary

Continuity

This book retells the story of Episode 1 of the animated series. Please check that page for more info.

Errata

While the next book improves on the quality of the screengrabs used, this book uses nearest-neighbor interpolation image scaling making it possible to see the individual pixels each picture is comprised of. In some cases frame blending can even be seen, resulting in a doubling effect in the image. Another quality comparison can be made with colors. While part 1 uses bright colors and high contrast, part 2's color pallet is more muted.

Production notes

The book opens with a foreword from Herman van Veen, co-signed tongue-in-cheek by Alfred Jodocus Kwak.

Original Dutch
Voor u ligt het eerste filmstripboek uit een serie van 17 Alfred Jodocus Kwak boeken. Hiermee is een lang gekoesterde wens in vervulling gegaan, om van de 52 filmafleveringen van Alfred en zijn vrienden boeken uit te geven. Het bleek geen eenvoudige klus om van bewegende beelden, drukbare plaatjes te knippen. De charme waarin de films zijn gemaakt, met zijn mooie kleurrijke omgeving, is in de boeken gelukkig nog helemaal aanwezig. Om een voorbeeld te geven van de technische hoogstandjes; een aflevering van een tv-serie duurt circa 25 minuten en bevat ongeveer 36000 filmframes. Hieruit moeten per aflevering 100 plaatjes geknipt worden. Vervolgens moet een tekst-scenario worden gemaakt en de teksten met tekstballon bij de plaatjes worden geplaatst. Het geheel komt overeen met het verhaal van de tv-serie.
Veel lees- en kijkplezier,
Herman van Veen én Alfred Jodocus Kwak.
Translation
Before you lies the first filmstrip book in a series of 17 Alfred Jodocus Kwak books. With this, a long-held wish has come true to publish books based on the 52 film episodes of Alfred and his friends. It turned out to be no simple task to cut printable images from moving pictures. Fortunately, the charm with which the films were made, along with their beautiful, colorful setting, are still entirely present in the books. To give an example of the technical feats involved: an episode of a TV series lasts about 25 minutes and contains approximately 36,000^{[note 3]} film frames. From these, 100 images must be selected for each episode. Then a script must be created, and the texts need to be placed in speech bubbles alongside the images. The result matches the story of the TV series.
Enjoy reading and viewing,
Herman van Veen and Alfred Jodocus Kwak

Notes

↑ Likely Siepermann and Bacher are credited for character designs and background designs for the animated series, but it is unlikely they were involved in the creation of this book.
↑ Likely Siepermann and Bacher are credited for character designs and background designs for the animated series, but it is unlikely they were involved in the creation of this book.
↑ This calculation is based on 25 minutes multiplied by 60 seconds and 24 frames per second. As Alfred Jodocus Kwak was originally rendered as 24 frames per second, as per the standard of animation in Japan, however the 24 frames per second, would be translated using frame blending
