We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
principal source of illumination appears to be the candle on the table. This was simulated by Dinky Inky No. 1, placed on the table, concealed behind the tall hat, which threw its beam strongly up into the face of Dean Jagger, playing "Brigham Young," and throwing his shadow strongly against the back-wall. A second Dinky, similarly concealed behind the hat, throws its more diffused beam against the other wall, also simulating the candle's light. Dinky No. 3, on the floor at left, continues this effect, and silhouettes the man in the left foreground, No. 4, a Baby Keglite placed well to the left, outlines the man in the foreground on that side, and aids in lighting Jagger and the wall behind him. Another Baby Keg on the back lamprail is crossed to illuminate the two men at the right.
The lighting is completed by the use of two arc spotlights. No. 5 was used to illuminate the backing outside the window. No. 6, well flooded, shone through the window to provide rimlighting on the two figures at the right. • Figure 4, also a scene from "Brigham Young — Frontiersman," is another example of the simplicity of dramatic effect-lighting with modern tools. The principal source of the light would obviously be the oil lamp suspended over the table. This was made the source by placing a Photoflood bulb inside the lampshade at "A" and reinforcing this source with lamp No. 1, a Baby Keg placed overhead.
The strong key-lighting on the group of three by the left window — especially centering on Dean Jagger, was provided by lamp No. 2, a Dinky Inky, placed on the table and concealed from the camera by the man seated in the foreground. The equally strong lighting on the other man seated behind the table was provided by Dinky No. 3, placed on the table in much the same way and concealed from the lens by the man standing in the foreground. Lamp No. 4 — another Dinky — gave the rim-lighting necessary to make the man standing at the end of the table stand out well from his dark background. Lamp No. 5, a diffused arc spotlight, provided the effect of faint light coming in through the left-hand window, while broads Nos. 6 and 7 illuminated the backing outside the window.
But Dinkies are by no means the only units which can at times be concealed within the scene. Figure 5 illustrates this. It, too, is a scene from "Brigham Young," a stage exterior night-effect. In this the principal light-source is of course the fire. To begin with, two No. 2 Photoflood globes were placed behind the fire; the flickering firelight-effect was created by the usual gadget which burns an oil-soaked wick in a metal pan directly behind these lamps, so that the smoke interrupts their beams to produce the requisite flicker.
The chief light-source on the principal players in front of the wagon was a Baby Keg, No. 1, placed low on the (Continued on Page 136)
