American cinematographer (Jan-Dec 1963)

time — one-half hour, an hour or even more. By using the following procedure, it is possible to do simple editing of 16mm picture and 14,-inch tape with¬ out transferring to sprocket-driven magnetic film. The shooting and re¬ cording method is the same as in the second procedure described above ex¬ cept that a clapstick is used twice for each take — just before the start and just after the end of each scene. The picture film and the 14-inch tape are now cut just after the head clapstick marks and just before the tail clap¬ stick marks and the picture and tape are then assembled in the desired sequence. In reproduction, the synchronizing signal from the tape is run through a preamplifier and a power amplifier. In this case the power amplifier drives a synchronous motor on the projector and the picture and sound will run at the same relative speed. In this last described system, it is necessary to thread both the projector and tape recorder with a proper length of leader so that when the projector and sound reproducer are started simul¬ taneously by means of a single switch, the two machines will come up to speed together and in sync. Should they fail to do so, synchronization can be achieved by momentarily switching the motor off on the machine that is lead¬ ing. After a little experience, it is possible to become quite proficient doing this type of editing and pro¬ jecting. ■ BEHIND THE CAMERAS Continued From Page 138 METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER with Lee Remick and James Garner.
