ARRIFLEX at work — ONE OF A SERIES* NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT MARTIN AGRONSKY (FAR LEFT) INTERVIEWS CAPT. EDWARD COOKE ABOARD DOWN UNDER, WHERE ELBOW SPACE IS U.S.S. GEORGE WASHINGTON WHILE ARRIFLEX RECORDS THE EVENT. A LUXURY, THE COMPACT ARRIFLEX FILMS MISSILE-FIRING ACTIVITY. Filming of a realistic exercise aboard Polaris submarine U.S.S. George Washington, was climaxed by the actual launching of its missiles into the Atlantic Missile Range. News Correspondent Martin Agronsky, Associate Producer Daniel Karasik and a crew of four created an hour-long documentary color film, “Polaris Submarine: Journal of an Undersea Voyage," shown over NBC-TV Network. Director Tom Priestly and Cameraman Scott Berner selected the compact, easily maneuverable Arriflex 16 for the pioneering job. The NBC newsmen, first TV team ever permitted aboard during a mission, met the Polaris sub at sea. Once sub¬ merged, the George Wash¬ ington was under “battle” orders not to resurface — for any reason for 16 days. Working day and night, approximately 14 hours a day, the camera crew filmed duty tours, church services, recreation activities and “bull” sessions of officers and men, then settled down to the serious business of missile-firing activity — recording the underwater launching after the warheads had been removed. Meeting all challenges on land, in the air, on the sea or under it — Arriflex does its usual dependable job rapidly, accurately and economically. It will do the same for you.
