Chief Photographer Jim Whisenant of station KTRK-TY, Houston, Texas, shown above behind the newsreel camera, uses nothing but Du Pont film for all news and feature programs. Here he films Miss Sharon Sims for the introduction of a special feature.
Bill Gatlin, Du Pont technical representative, watches over Jim Whisenant's shoulder as he edits a feature film.
From camera to TV screen in 30 minutes— with Du Pont Type 931 film
Du Pont Type 93 1 film is used exclusively for the 8000 feet of news and feature work done each month at station KTRK-TV, Houston, Texas. Chief Photographer Jim Whisenant tells why:
"By taking advantage of the inherent ease and speed of processing Du Pont 931, we can film local news events up to half an hour before air time. In one case, we finished shooting at 5:30 p.m., drove 12 miles back to the studio, had the film processed and on the air at 6:03 p.m.
"Virtually all our work is done with available light. We have been able to 'push' 931 film to well above 250 ASA, and while there is a small amount of grain at the extremely high levels, it is not objectionable for television transmission. This
ability to rate film so high gives us many shots that we couldn't normally get— and that means better news coverage, of course."
Jim Whisenant develops Du Pont Type 931 as a negative, and polarity is switched in transmission to produce a positive image. Jim finds he can process the film in about 10 minutes. "It's in the drying that we really save time,'' he says. "Du Pont Type 931 dries in less than half the time of any film I ever used before. All in all, we couldn't ask for a better news film."
