La Brea, Hollywood to match or harmonize with trim of the camera. Some may wish to plate all the parts; others may find the crackle enamel in better harmony with the camera, leaving only the screws in bright nickel finish. At any rate, the essential step — in case one intends to apply the finish himself — is to thoroughly clean each part before spraying with the material that produces ing, idead • Continued f rom Page 597 Closeups show manner in which young trees are guarded against foraging rabbits. Other scenes explains technique of pruning, spraying, etc., with interesting titles explaining much of the process. Then follows scenes of picking, sorting, and packing the apples for market. All in all, it is a very thorough job of documentary picture making with consistent exposure and a steady camera highlighting the photography. There is an occasional jump between scenes noticeable on the screen due to the fact the same setup was used between shots or because the camera was stopped momentarily in the midst of shooting a scene. In such instances it is advisable to change camera setup, providing a clean, distinct break between scenes. Editing: As a whole, this phase of the picture was well handled. There are spots where a little too much footage is allowed the harvesting scenes. There’s a scene following a title relative to pruning that could be deleted as its content is irrelevant to pruning. The scene referred to in the title should immediately follow it. Titling : Titling was very good with interesting title backgrounds that resembled a wall paper design. The long rolling or “scroll” title at the beginning aided in establishing interest in the subject. The titles succeeded nicely in telling of the manywvays in which the apple has played an important part throughout history. Equipment: Filmo double the crackle finish. Otherwise the enamel will eventually chip off. Sherwin-Williams manufacture a product known as “Kem” which is easy for the amateur to apply. It should be sprayed evenly over the surface of each part and allowed to dry for at least 15 minutes to one hour. The sprayed parts should then be subjected to baking at temperatures ranging */• chi from 200 to 275 degrees F. for a period of 30 minutes. The wipe-off fan should be finished in flat black which may be applied with either brush or spray gun. Next month we shall conclude with a description of the many special effects that may be accomplished with the “Glorified 16” and describe the steps necessary for each effect. • • • 8mm camera with f/2.5 lens; Weston exposure meter; tripod; and Seemann Titler. Main title made with wooden block letters cemented to glass. Scroll titles were filmed on Eastman tinted base film. Closeups of blossoms were filmed with aid of supplemental lens. Parallax for closeups was determined with aid of Home Movies chart. "CABIN OF DREAMS" ★★ 100 Ft. 8mm — by R. D. P. Continuity: Commendable is the fact this filmer worked out a nice continuity from many scenes shot previous to acquiring the idea. By using well planned titles he developed interest in his picture that would be wholly lacking without their explanation. The picture explains the enjoyment to be had from ownership of a cabin in the woods and gives reasons for the various activities depicted — boating, fishing, and hunting. Photography : With a little more attention to technical details this filmer should soon be turning out more than ordinary movies. In this picture there is just a little too much shooting from moving vehicles as well as one scene made while walking with the camera. Best movies are those made with the camera still. A movie camera is intended to record motion not to lend motion to a scene. Editing: A little editing is still necessary in some parts of the picture — particularly where scenes are preceded by irrelevant titles. Frequently the scene described in the title does not immediately follow the title. In another instance, one moving title should be changed, and encompassed in one single title, as it is used, intercut, between two scenes with some of the text of the previous title showing in the succeeding title. Titling: Was good. This filmer has a genuine feel for titles and only needs additional study of the technique of properly placing them in the filrft. Wovie oflL Wontk . . . o Continued from Page 596 inviting scenic shots ever screened by this reviewer. Included are scenes of lakes, mountain passes, trout lairs, cool camping spots, wild flowers, in fact everything that a Chamber of Commerce publicist tries to describe with words in those travel folders ! Hundreds, perhaps, thousands of movie amateurs have trained their cameras on these same spots, have recorded approximately the same scenes; yet we’ll venture to say that few of them captured the beauty of this country as did Belknap with his keen eye for framing and picture composition. Every distant shot was artistically framed by a branch of a tree, a shrub swaying in the breeze, or perhaps filmed through an arch of some natural rockformation. And there was action, too, in
