American cinematographer (Jan-Dec 1963)

accessories and a Bell & Howell Eyemo camera. Included in each outfit is a copy of the American Cinematog¬ rapher Manual which APC camera¬ men have found invaluable. Camera equipment, such as the Mitchell BNC, the Arriflex or Mitchell Sixteen, are assigned camera crews as they are needed. A wide range of the latest type of studio lighting is available in abun¬ dance but some units are homemade such as the efficient banks of overhead flood units which have been built in the APC engineering shop. Portable lighting units, notably Colortan and Johnson lights, are used frequently for shooting on locations. Recently ex¬ cellent results have been obtained with Sun-Gun units, which give the camera¬ men even greater portability. Many APC directors have expressed surprise at the excellent results various camera¬ men have been getting with the SunGuns. “It’s hard for them to believe that such a little light can do such a good job,” Lipkowitz told me. Almost all Army films are photo¬ graphed on 35mm film for standard screen projection ; however, composi¬ tions are set up so that the picture can be effectively projected on wide screens or on television without image loss. Virtually all release prints are on 16mm, the format of most Army class¬ room projectors.
