Remote Control For Revere Cameras
Here's How To Make Simple Manual And Electrical Controls For Operating Camera At A Distance

HOME movie makers who have passed the record filming stage of photography and who have mastered the technique of movie making find that they are restricted sometimes by the inflexibihty of their movie equipment. Sequences of amateur scenarios that call for the filming of a group of people including oneself usually have to be filmed by a willing but inexperienced bystander. When the bystander is not available or not wanted the usual expedient is to jam the starting mechanism of the movie camera and hurry into the scene. A remote control release would be welcomed in this instance.
The advanced amateur interested in nature study uses long range telephoto lenses to reach his live subjects. If a particular angle of shooting is desired, a simple platform is erected from which the photographer shoots the scene. The average movie maker does not possess a telephoto lens of sufficient power and would not make any elaborate preparations for shooting a simple scene. Furthermore, telephoto lenses require accurate focusing and have a very shallow depth of field when compared with the

standard lens. The best way to film the live quarry would be to locate and secure the camera equipped with standard lens in an advantageous position while the quarry is absent from its habitat. Later the subject could be observed from any vantage point and the action filmed by controlling the mechanism of the camera with an electrical release.
Reverse motion sequences add interest to an otherwsie staid subject. The 8mm. camera owner holds his camera in an inverted position for this type of filming. A cable release on the camera would simplify this otherwise awkward filming operation. Smooth panoramic filming is also aided by the cable release.
Well planned titles help to keep the continunity of the amateur movie flowing smoothly from scene to scene. Titles of locations on maps, postal cards or snapshots that set the scene or lend atmosphere can be photographed using Hollywood's techniques, such as the "zoom" title. This title gives life to an otherwise stationary picture. In this and in more complicated titling methods the amateur may be aided by an electrical release on the camera which will
