You get better picttires with Du Pont film Scene from a WNEM newsreel, shot on Du Pont 931 film. WN EM-TV uses one film for all light conditions . . . Du Pont 931 Charles Ray, Director of Photography for station WNEM-TV, Bay City, Mich., says that he and his six cameramen keep their cameras loaded with Du Pont Type 931 Rapid Reversal film for all newsreel photography. "931 has the high speed and latitude we need for news shots anywhere, any time," says Mr. Ray. "We can shoot indoors or out, rain or shine, and be sure we'll get good, usable pictures." WNEM has built up a large "morgue" of filmed background material on local activities, so that when a story breaks, they'll have films immediately available to help round out the news coverage. When a cameraman comes in with footage on a hot local story, WNEM can go on "EG. U. 5. PAT. Off' the air with a complete, edited news show. Du Pont 931 helps here, too — its wide processing latitude and extra short drying time mean it can be force processed at high temperatures, dried, spliced and on the air in a matter of minutes. "We don't see how you can beat 931," concludes Mr. Ray, "for this combination of speed, latitude and processing ease."
