Biography

Robert (Bob) Carlisle began his career at Metro in the cutting rooms in 1922 and joined Cosmopolitan Productions in 1924. From 1925 to 1932, he worked with Universal, and in 1933, he was appointed editor-in-chief at Columbia. In 1935, he partnered with Jerry Fairbanks to establish Scientific Films, Inc., where Carlisle served as secretary-treasurer and personally edited all films produced for the three series of Paramount shorts.

The Popular Science releases by Fairbanks and Carlisle showcase the latest developments in science, chemistry, and other fields, while their Unusual Occupations series, the first of which debuted in 1937, highlights the everyday hobbies of ordinary Americans. In 1941, Paramount introduced the first Speaking of Animals novelty short. This production technique combines animal footage with trick photography to make the animals appear to speak. It is considered the first time animation was integrated as a key element of live-action subjects, made possible by the Duoplane process perfected by Fairbanks.

Carlisle's hobby was amateur radio, and he owned a powerful transmitting and receiving station. Before the outbreak of war, he used it to gather new material and communicate with correspondents worldwide.
