An exterior film photographed in color on location, without the control of elements possible on the sound stage, always presents certain technical challenges, and “Savage Sam” was no exception. Shooting was begun early this past summer while the California hills were still lush green from recent rains. As filming progressed into autumn, the foliage turned brown and it was necessary to spray vast acreages of landscape with green watersoluble paint so that later scenes would match those shot previously. Another problem characteristic of ex¬ terior color filming arose out of the fact that the sun, “Nature’s Own Keylight,” changed its position progres¬ sively throughout the day. The company would begin shooting a sequence in morning with strong backlight prevail¬ ing. By mid-afternoon lighting in the area had changed to fiat front light. Matching the lighting on scenes, shot Continued on Page 42 More Filmline Features: • Film chamber doors are completely removable for easy access to entire chamber (Not found in competitive models of similar class) .

It is a friction drive processor, guaranteed not to break or scratch film. Filmline’s exclusive overdrive film transport system is so accurate it makes this guarantee possible. What’s more film can be stalled 100% in spray chambers without altering footage. Absolute control of footage in each chamber insures sensitometric quality control and consistent development. And Filmline processors (unlike competitive makes) have lower film assemblies that are adjustable and remain captive in the position placed. Position of lower assemblies can be easily monitored and adjusted by indicator rods at the top of each chamber. The S-60 is the specific answer to every labo¬ ratories need for a Spray Processor — because it outperforms machines costing twice as much. Look into the Filmline S-60 — It Will Pay You.
