NEW YORK 10017 (212) MU ^.3625 SIGHT & SOUND F«&B/Ceco President Reports An Upturn in N. Y. Production i^ Arthur Mornian, president of F&B/Ccco, professional motion picture equipment suppliers, has rept)rtcd that film production in New York has taken a definite upturn in 19A6. Camera and lighting equipment rentals for January and February are up over 30 per cent from the corresponding period last year and are continuing to climb. Also advance bookings for the near future throLigli ne.xt summer are well ahead of last year. Mr. Florman said. "It looks like New York is making a film production comeback after the slowest 16 month period in ten years. The trend of shooting TV commercials in California had to reverse itself eventually, because there was no real reason for it to have gone there in the first place. New York facilities and talent for commercials arc second to none in the world. TV shows and series are another matter, and except for those needing a New York locale, have always been filmed in Hollywood. When New York-style shows are needed, tiiey'll be done here again. "Florida is also coming u|i rapidly as a film producing center," Mr. Florman added, "but it is drawing most of its business away from California. Chicago and Detroit. The latter two cities are losing what television production they had because of climate and scarcity of talent, equipment and traineil Icchnical personnel. "It looks like 1966 will he one of the big years for New York film production." he conchuicd, • "Color Television Test Film" is Available from SMPTE, N. Y.
