Professor Samuel Loomis is a physicist at M.I.T. in the mid 1950's who received Top Secret instructions from the U.S. Government. Dalton Productions created four motion picture "shorts" for Crossroad Educational Films. The series was titled "The Good Crush".
Unearthing these early 35mm films is truly a remarkable story. Found inside a time capsule dated November 17, 1953 - the celluloid was quite well preserved considering all the mold and dust that had crept in over the years. Dalton Productions utilized Ian Clark Laboratories to reassemble the tattered film and called upon Scott Wilkin Digitronics to convert these restored films to digital media with hopes of preserving their educational value for at least another fifty years.
Here the professor and his assistant Adam James crush eggs to describe the ultimate difference between a Good Crush vs. a Bad Crush. This is the first film in the series of four.
