seconds each scene will appear on the screen, measure off, on the master film, the number of frames required for each scene, and punch a hole in the middle of the last frame. For example, in the breakdown of the “Mandolin” record already referred to, the opening musical prelude consumes 6 seconds. This would be the equivalent of 96 frames of film. Therefore, punch a hole in the 96th frame following the starting mark. Thereafter, measure the required number of frames for each successive line or stanza of the music and punch holes in the film until the entire musical-scenario has been measured. If a frame measuring device is not available, you can measure your film with an ordinary ruler, keeping in mind there are 40 frames to one foot of 16mm film and 80 frames to one foot of 8mm film. In editing your film, use the measuring film as your guide in cutting each scene. Lay it on your editing board and fit the film scenes to correspond with the segments of measuring film between the punched holes. Be sure to allow for trimming of film during splicing. After your film has been completely cut and edited, use the measuring film to adjust your projector so that it will be in synchronization with the turntable or phonograph that is to play the record. First, make sure of the phonograph turntable speed. It should be timed accurately at 78 R.P.M. Your film is now cut to project for a period of time equivalent to the playing of the phonograph record. In order to adjust your projector so the film will pass through it at a corresponding speed, project the measuring film and check the time it takes the various holes in the film to pass the projector gate. If it takes seven seconds for a six second segment to pass the film gate, speed up your projector and check the next segment. If the six second segment passes through the projector in four or five seconds, adjust the rheostat to slow down the projector. When you believe you have your projector accurately timed, run the measuring film through the projector again, this time while playing the record. Thread your projector with the measuring film, placing the starting mark in the film gate at the frame aperature. Then, starting your phonograph or turntable with the record on it, project the measuring film and check the change in scenes by the flash of the holes in the film on the screen, with the lines of the music as it is played by the phonograph. With the “Mandolin” record, the second hole in the corresponding measuring film should pass the projector gate on the last note of the six sec The Kentucky Derby — have you ever seen it?
