We therefore had to build our own — a simple ar¬ rangement of a two-by-twelve plank extending through the door beyond the ship, with the camera mounted on a hi-hat at the end of the plank. The doors on either side of the helicopters are removable and we usually worked with them off, so that we could shoot from either side. I’m still haunted by the thought of how close I came to tumbling out of one ’copter while shooting, sans parachute, over Manila! Uniformity of exposures between the various cameras was achieved by re¬ laying exposure information to the various operators by walkie-talkie units. I would calculate the exposure for each camera, then radio the information to each operator down the fairway, hop¬ ing of course that he would take my word and set his lens accordingly. In an operation such as this, where the cameras are not only widely separated but shooting at different angles, I could risk no serious errors in lens settings. I had told my assistants and operators in the course of a general briefing before we started the tour: “I’m being paid to make the mistakes, so please let me make them.” ■ QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Continued from Page 82 shots. Please recommend a source of filters required for this type photog¬ raphy. — R. C., King Salmon. Alaska. A.— —Consideration first must be given to the type of night scene desired in day-for-night color pho¬ tography. Usually this type photog¬ raphy results in a soft, under-exposed bluish effect. In straightforward night-for-night photography, a scene which is illuminated by an artificial light source should be given a warm tone — achieved by placing yellow gela¬ tins over the light source. In shooting exterior day-for-night scenes in color, however, the obvious source of illumination in the scene is moonlight, and thus general practice seems to settle for a bluish tone in the overall scene. Shooting such scenes without the 85 filter requires U/2 to 2^/2 stops under-exposure. For a source of special filters we refer you to Harri¬ son & Harrison, 6363 Santa Monica Rlvd..
