Description:
Hollywood Studio Magazine was published out of the San Fernando Valley in various iterations (and various titles) from 1966 until 1992. What started as a local organ aimed at the workers of Hollywood ended as a nostalgic fan magazine about Hollywood Then and Now. The various title changes and revisions to its mission reflect not just the economic realities of magazine publishing, but a changing relationship to Hollywood and the industry itself. The earliest issues of Studio Magazine read like a house organ of a steady, entrenched industry documenting the comings and goings and notable events of the San Fernando Valley, with special emphasis on Universal. Fandom first became part of the discourse of the magazine through collecting. The Collectors’ Column page beginning in the early 1970s allowed memorabilia collectors to advertise their wares to each other. In 1983, the founder of the magazine, Dorothy Denny gave over the reins to Ralph Benner, the founder of Tiger Beat. This marks the clear separation between the original publication and its focus on Hollywood production culture and the move toward a publication centered on star narratives and fan culture. In covering the two and a half decades from the collapse of the system to the point where classical movie stars were phantoms instead of living people, the magazine offers insight into the transformation of old Hollywood from a lived reality to a memory to a myth.

Cinema Magic on a $100 budget By Angela Lilja Illustrated by Walter Goad and Bill Ross Eliot Bli ss, lecturer, demonstrates one of the many pieces of sophisticated electronic sound equipment at CBS-TV. Students reveal techniques of film making. Synchronizing sound and film by use of the moviola machine is pari of what students learn in Theatre Arts 53. t “We are involved in the technical aspects of theater and film industry,” says lean, bespectacled Walt Hekking, a Student in the Motion Picture Workshop, Theater Arts 53 of Los Angeles Valley College, Van Nuys. “We write our own script, direct, film and edit a 1-minute public Service announcement on a $100 budget. We use a 16mm Bolex camera and film provided by the College and we may shoot our project at any location, although most of us do it in the motion picture Studio on campus. My film will be on gun control.” Students in Theatre Arts 2, 48, 50, 51 and 5 2 begin by creating a “non-sync sound” film which means there is no coordination between lip movement and sound but they do have music, narration, or sound effects. These students have already completed Theater Arts 50, Motion Picture Sound, where they had learned about such things as “f stops,” “view Finders,” and the differences between “photo flood film” and “sky light film.” They had answered such questions as “what is the advantage of an external view finder,” “what method do you use to operate a zoom lens,” and had learned to splice film with mylar and mark magnetic film
