There is no cost or obligation for those attending the workshop. “We welcome everyone who is interested or active in film and motion picture ac¬ tivities,” said Lee Davis, Calvin’s Vice-president. Each year the event is attended by 400 to 500 persons with prime interest in motion picture pro¬ duction, cinematography, and indus¬ trial film applications. “If it is neces¬ sary that you have a personal invita¬ tion on our company letterhead,” Davis added, “we will be happy to furnish same on request.” This should ease the way for in-plant men eager to attend the conference and soak up some film making knowledge, but first must get their employer’s consent to a leave of absence to attend. Tentative program calls for talks, demonstrations, etc., on planning the film, the script, talent selection, loca¬ tion interior and exterior photography and studio lighting on Monday, Feb¬ ruary 4th. Subjects for following day include Sets and Properties, The Di¬ rector, 1 6mm Camera Stocks, Special Camera Effects, Common Errors, and the Editing Process. Workshop will wind up Wednesday with the program that includes, Tech¬ nical and Character Animation, The Storyboard, Background Design, Lab Operations, Sound Recording and Re¬ cording Equipment. • Camera Mart Announces Film Editing Seminar Camera Mart, Inc., 1845 Broadway, New York, N.Y., has scheduled its first annual Film Editing WorkshopSeminar for the week of October 7th through October 11, 1963.
