WBTV goes in close for prize-winning footage with Du Pont Motion Picture Film
Nelson Benton and Earl Wells look over some news footage with D. H. Billings, DuPont Representative (center). Sharp, clear pictures are the rule with Du Pont film, and Mr. Wells states: "I'm sure we'll always be using it."
DuPont film is an established favorite at WBTV, Charlotte, North Carolinathe largest TV station in the Carolinas. Their news cameramen have been using this film exclusively since 1954 when WBTV first turned to motion picture coverage. Cameraman Earl Wells, using DuPont film, won first place in feature films, second and third place in news film in a recent Southern News Photographers' Contest.
"We can go just about anywhere and get good pictures with DuPont films— indoors or out, day or night," says Television News Editor Nelson Benton. "We can rate Type 931 film as high as ASA 400 and Type 930 up to ASA 250 with satisfactory results." Mr. Benton also reports the station is using about 1,000 feet of DuPont film daily.
Rapid processing is an important feature of DuPont film. WBTV often processes 50-70 feet of film per minute at a temperature of 95 F. The station has been on the air with film 20 minutes
after the actual news event. Why not take advantage of high-speed, easyhandling DuPont films in your station? They'll give you the high-quality results you've always wanted.
