The Scenario Service, formerly conducted by Cinema Quarterly, has now been taken over by the Independent Film-makers Association. Will subscribers who still have MSS. which they do not intend to use, please return them immediately?
MOBILE PRODUCTION UNIT
A new service which should interest independent film-makers is the mobile production unit belonging to Photographic Art Productions. The unit is entirely self-contained and may be used either for studio or location work. Provision is made to accommodate up to nine mute cameras. Condenser microphones are used, and the truck is provided with cables which can operate up to 200 feet from the microphones. The truck and crew, including cameraman and recording engineer, may be hired per day or week, and a studio in Wardour Street is available for post-synchronising and interior work. If it were more generally known that facilities of this sort are available independent and amateur producers might be encouraged to embark on more ambitious productions.
