One frame from WFAA-TVs film, "Disaster Dallas," shot entirely on Du Pont 931. "Shooting fast, in the worst conditions, WE CAN COUNT ON 931" That's what Chief News Cameraman Marion Carlton, of Station WFAA-TV, Dallas, Texas, told us. "Du Pont Type 931 Rapid Reversal Film is the standard load in our cameras," says Mr. Carlton. "With 931, we know we can get usable TV footage indoors or out, in any light, without having to change film." Mr. Carlton specially praises the wide latitude of DuPont 931. "'When we shot 'Disaster Dallas.' a news documentary of the tornadoes that hit Dallas in 1957. he explains, "we were out shooting during the worst of the storms. We didn't have much time to take meter readings—we just had to guess. T\e had our hands full just hanging on and getting our shots. But the latitude of 931 helped give us a film that was cited as the outstanding news story of 1957.'' Concludes Mr. Carlton: "Considering the high quality of the film and the fast and thoughtful service offered by Du Pont, it j ust makes good sense for us to continue to shoot most of our footage on Type 931.' Whatever your motion picture needs, you'll find there's a DuPont film that's just right for you.
