But all these activities are just part of the work done by Rainbow Island Productions and Rainbow Island Sound Services. Last month Smouse and Pitstick got a Hollywood contract to film a widescreen feature for national release this year. The picture was shot in 16mm and blown up to 35mm. Commercial Kodachrome was used for this production, and it was directed by Hope Hampton, starring Wayne Morris and Dorothy Patrick. Smouse and Pitstick were able to provide all the equipment, with the aid of technicians from I.A.T.S.E. Local No. 655, plus their own men who are also members of the local.

This amounts to a vast saving since the whole thing was shot and recorded on 16mm," said Pitstick. He also worked on another Hollywood film, the "Sea Chase", made by Warner Brothers, and starring Lana Turner and John Wayne. Add to this his work on many TV commercials, (made with single system Auricon Cameras I and it indicates that Pitstick is a very busy guy indeed. But the most interesting piece of equipment is his sound truck which he uses for all his assignments. He also / v Here's a new plan to benefit Home Movies and Pro Cine Photographer readers.
