Ok, I've kind of hold off on this topic for a while because I had no idea how to write a post about this without accidentally sounding like some Californian patriot(even with this new info, El Apostol is still an impressive achievement for Argentina), but I guess now is the time to talk about this.
I first heard of this through The Sunshine Feeler's video:
Creation was this movie directed by Pinto Colvig & made by a company called Animated Film Corp. in San Francisco, California. Colvig, alongside Byington Ford & Benjamin Thackston Knight, teamed up to make Creation back in 1916. The film itself was about them, seemingly doing whatever at work when ALL of the sudden they just get dragged into their drawings by the characters. The trio of animators then go on a creativity-based adventure of sorts & there seems to be some tie into Christianity about creation... maybe? That's what The Sunshine Feeler imagined in his video, not my ramblings.
There's not much else on the film that isn't shown in his video, but perhaps the Southern Oregon Historical Society, the folks that sent in the images, could release the film, if they have it archived? IDK, maybe they don't considering how old it is, but one can dream.
