Hazards, however, are all in the day’s work for the APCS cameraman. Sometime ago when a forward radar station mounted on a “Texas Tower” in the open sea off the coast of New England started to break up under the force of a hurricane, cameramen from Detachment 2 were rushed to the site in the teeth of the gale to photograph evacuation of the tower personnel.
The present headquarters installation of Detachment 2 at Colorado Springs provides all the latest equipment for the photography of motion pictures, but no facilities for processing, precise editing or sound dubbing — these oper¬ ations being handled at Lookout Moun¬ tain, in Hollywood. Arriflex cameras are standard for field operations, while Mitchells are used for studio work. The present studio building has a sound stage 35 x 45 feet in area with a 14-foot ceiling. The walls are soundtreated with acoustical tile and the floor has been soundproofed with ply¬ wood laid over a rubber base.
The studio is equipped with a fuff range of Mole-Richardson lights — in¬ cluding Seniors, Juniors, Baby Spots and Sky-pans, also Colortran units for location filming. The studio lights are mounted on aluminum frames sup¬ ported by upright tubular aluminum “Polecat” poles, which can he quickly moved to any area of the studio and set up as easily as any standard polelight support. A Hydrolly for mobile camera shots and Teleprompter com¬ plete the studio’s production equipment.
Available on the stage is 200 amps of 220-volt current split so that 100 amps may be drawn from each of two remote boxes. There is also a threephase, 220-volt line with four outlets permitting the operation of as many as four cameras at a time.
Sound is controlled on the stage by means of two mixing consoles which afford use of up to six channels simul¬ taneously. Film sound is piped from the stage to the recording room, lo¬ cated in another part of the building, where it is recorded on 16mm sprock¬ eted magnetic tape by means of Magnasync equipment.
A piece of equipment which has been found to be invaluable for re¬ cording synchronous sound under diffi¬ cult location conditions is the Vega combination wireless microphone and transmitter. The basic unit is a metal enclosure roughly six inches long and one inch in diameter, housing a micro¬ phone in its top section and a miniatur
