Concerto for NPR and Orchestra Shooting a hundred-man symphony orchestra that is getting paid by the hour, you obviously need to use multiple cameras, arrange to stagger the film runouts and hope to avoid retakes. For the Bell Telephone Hour "Sounds and Sights of Chicago," Director of Photography Andrew Costikyan used three NPRs to cover the Chicago Symphony in a special concert for the show. Two of the cameras were placed in the audience for wide-angle shots of the whole orchestra, for cutaways of the audience and for telephoto closeups of the players and the conductor. But the director needed some shots of the conductor from the players' point of view, and some wider angle closeups of the players themselves, to provide the feel of being right in the orchestra. So Mr. Costikyan put on white tie and tails, and sat right in the orchestra with an NPR. This meant that, for the other two cameras, he was right in the shot! But the NPR is an unobtrusive camera, so it worked. If you saw the show on NBC-TV, did you notice that one of the performers was playing an NPR?
