How To Make it Picture With One Roll of Film . . .
IF you think making movies in these days of limited film isn't worth the effort, this picturized review of Leo Caloia's Cinderella should change your mind. It proves the ingenious amateur can make a picture in spite of obstacles. Caloia, a Los Angeles filmer, had a hundred-foot roll of 1 6mm. Kodachrome, an interesting story idea, and an attractive and cooperative wife who
starred in his short, original photoplaylet about a kitchen drudge who, in a brief interlude of daydreaming, imagines herself a "cover girl." There are 20 scenes and two titles in the picture. It suggests a new avenue of picture making to those amateurs with imagination and the knack of getting a story across on the screen with a minimum of scenes and titles.
I — The same old kitchen, the same old sink and the same old dishes to do! Weary of it all, the housewife pauses to rest — and reflect.
2 — On the table nearby is a fashion magazine devoted to glamourizing women. She studies the cover for a moment; admires the model's pretty clothes.
3 — She wishes, as did Cinderella, that she could trade places with the cover girl — just once; to escape the drudgery of housekeeping.
4 — Turning the pages, she admires the pretty clothes, the attractive hair styles, the well manicured fingernails and hands that never have known dishpans.
5 — She now imagines herself the model in the illustration —endeavors to simulate her lovely pose. The scene dissolves into her daydream.
6 — She becames the pretty model in the magazine, dressed in beautiful clothes and posed before the fashion photographer's glamourizing camera.
7 — We see her in numerous poses, each time in new and beautiful gowns and pictured midst glamourous settings. Dishpan hands are forgotten for the moment.
8 — Well, a woman can dream can't she? "If only I were Cinderella," she murmers. But alas, all dreams must end.
9 — Her eyes rest upon the stack of unwashed dishes, and she returns to reality — to dishpans and soapsuds and drudgery.
10 — With a sigh she resumes her labors. But, like al dreams, it was nice while it lasted.
