THE EQUIPMENT USED Technically, the equipment used during the production is largely unimportant. You use the tools you have at hand and, whether simple or elaborate, you somehow make them do. With us the camera was a Bolex H-16 on which I soon found the most important lens in the turret was my Elgeet wide angle f/1.5 in a focusing mount. You can't beat it for indoor closeups because of the increased depth of field — and closeups are the lifeblood of any Red Feather fund film. The emulsions used, fairly interchangeably, were Super X and Super XX, and the lighting was basically a four-lamp light bar supplemented, on occasion, with two No. 2 floods in metal reflectors. From the first we had planned the picture as a -sound production. But it was to be magnetic sound on film, not optical, which is generally too expensive for a Chest budget. Besides, I had just purchased a new Filmsound 202 projector, and I was as itchy to begin using it as a kid with a new bike. Thus, after cutting our 2500 feet of film to about 1100, we enlisted the aid of three newspaper men to write the narration. What they turned out was clear and compelling, and it was read during the recording with equal effectiveness by a local radio announcer. The Community Chest then rented a 202 projector for the season — and It's Up To You hit the road for the good of Red Feather. Pacifi ic pa ra dise [Continued from page 152] wings. It functions more like a glider, riding into the wind with fins outstretched at a speed of up to thirty or forty miles an hour. It gathers this speed under water and then darts two or three feet into the air, to "fly" at that height for several hundred yards. At the end of the flight, the flying fish will change course and enter the sea at a different angle to which it was flying, to further confuse the finny enemies from which it was escaping. WILD BIRDS AND BUFFALO Among the other interesting subjects for the movie maker are the tropical bird park and the wild goats which are abundant on Catalina Island. Arabian horses are raised at El Rancho Escondido, located in the island's middle valley, where they can be seen by visitors on one of the inland bus tours.
