A MATEUR films are a gold mine of material for really •** excellent theater-type movies.
This is not meant as flattery — it is the sincere opinion of experts in motion picture production.
Have you ever seen a feature picture before it is edited? It is a jumble of scenes: good, bad, too short, too long, some shots superb, some utterly dull and flat, photographically perfect, cinematically impossible — just a mass of raw material, a tangled skein of film from which the editing and titling staff spins the most brilliant, smooth and finished picture.
Where does the amateur film differ? Nowhere but that the amateur stops with merely raw material. Just a step away from absolute perfection; just a fine line remains between amateur movies and professional movies — the lack of proper editing and titling!
Movie Editors, Inc., is an organization of men with long experience in the motion picture industry. Its owners: Arthur H. Loucks and John A. Norling, are partners in the firm of Loucks & Norling, Inc., New York, one of the largest and best known producers of business and educational motion pictures in the United States.
These men throw open their doors to the amateur. Movie Editors, Inc. — a company within their company, created solely for amateur needs — has at its service their entire staff of editors and title makers, men and women of the top-notch ability so necessary for professional productions.
The list of well-known producers and large corporations for whom this organization has done work will perhaps not interest you. Suffice to say that to Loucks & Norling, Inc., have been entrusted during the past year such well-known amateur film productions as Frederick B. Patterson's remarkable animal picture, "Shooting Big Game with a Camera;" Harold Talbott's "Safari;" Raymond W. Brook's "Mining Areas of South Africa" and many others of equal merit.
The creation of Movie Editors, Inc., is an honest and sincere effort to bring Amateur Movies into the realm of professional standards at a cost that will encourage the amateur to put every roll of home movies on a par with professional motion pictures as we know them today.
The booklet "How to Edit Amateur Movies" is a message of interest to everyone. It will be sent without cost or obligation to all who ask for it.
