DOCUMENTARY NEWS LETTER FEBRUARY 1940 15
Last year Merton Park Studios Ltd. — associated with Publicity Films Ltd. and Sound-Services Ltd. — produced films for the Ministry of Labour, the British Electrical Development Association, the Ford Motor Company, the Co-operative Wholesale Society, Cadbury Brothers Ltd., the Crown Agents for the Colonies, the Millers' Mutual Association, Metropolitan Vickers Electrical Company Ltd., Hoover Ltd., the National Savings Committee, the Gas Light and Coke Company, the School for the Blind, Chokladfabriken Marabou and many others.
The films were about electrical machinery in mines, helping the unemployed in distressed areas, how to sell chocolates, electricity in rural areas, Claude Hulbert, how to cook, circuses, Palestine, some of Mr Cochran's Young Ladies, the wheat trade and many other trades, products and subjects.
Now we are making films about food rationing, how motor cars are made, colloids in medicine, industry in war-time, the National Register, and the manufacture of liquid oxygen.
We believe in the budgeting and control of costs during progress of production and in scheduling to meet delivery dates; in provision of adequate equipment and studios; in the assignment of technicians from a pool of technical personnel; and in the general supervision necessary to secure a high technical standard of quality. We also believe in giving the maximum liberty of expression to our creative workers. We think that is why we can cope successfully with such an extraordinary variety of subjects and produce films which achieve the objects for which they have been made. ^
