WBRE-TV newsreel crew in action, filming the fire which destroyed the Methodist Church in Kingston, Pa., in February, 1957. Use of Du Pont Rapid Reversal Film has made it possible for this station to speed the telecasting of local news events.
"We give our viewers the news as it's madethanks to Du Pont Rapid Reversal Film"
says Fritz Chamberlain, Staff Photographer, WBRE-TV, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
WBRE-TV cut processing time for news film more than 85% by using DuPont 930 and 931 Rapid Reversal Motion Picture Film. While it used to take an hour to develop, fix and dry 100 feet, it now takes only 8 minutes.
"During a recent fire," says photographer Chamberlain, "only 30 minutes elapsed between the time footage was shot and the time home viewers saw the fire on their TV sets. We scored a 'beat' by getting the film on the air before any other station, and we received many favorable comments from viewers because we were showing the fire while it was actually in progress."
WBRE-TV uses Du Pont film for all their programs and
in servicing local school and college sports events. "We offer a 48-hour service to these schools," says Mr. Chamberlain, "but by using DuPont 930 and 931 we are able to return their film within 15 hours.
"By switching to DuPont Rapid Reversal Films," he concludes, "we now have much faster processing, combined with broad latitude that permits shooting under all lighting conditions. These films can be rated well above their assigned ASA ratings, give us improved sound, and they have eliminated the problem of switching polarity we had when using a negative type film."
