'Hell's Angels"
Howard Hughes' epic of the air, "Hell's Angels," is at last in the cutting room with approximately 1,500,000 feet of film to its credit. Actual work on the picture started in October, 1927, but owing to the exacting nature of the story the photography was not entirely complete until fifteen months later.
From a technical standpoint "Hell's Angels" is probably the most unusual picture ever photographed. Before the picture is released the cost of production will total in the neighborhood of $2,000,000. With comparatively few sound effects the picture stands as a collosal silent production, relying on technique and thrills for its unquestioned success.
Our list of Local No. 659 camera workers who put in time on the picture has mounted to such an astounding figure that we believe it holds all records for the number of cameramen employed on a single production.
While the majority of these men were called through the Local for short periods, the regular crew worked steadily for a period of approximately fifteen months.
Our Local records show the following lineup: Harry Perry, E. Burton Steene, Gaetano Gaudio, Roy Greiner, Harry Zech, Dewey Wrigley, Alvin Wyckoff, Elmer Dyer, Eddie Kull, Terrell Bonnie, Cecil Love, Walter Griffin, Gene Hagberg, Arthur Reeves, Paul Ivano, Earl Metz, Paul Cable, Robert Gough, Otto Himm, Ross Hoffman, William •Stapp, Eddie Cohen, Fred Kaifer, Michael Santacrose, Walter Boling, Bob Miller, Irving Lippman, Leo Hughes, Paul Perry, Billy Tuers, Leonard Galezio, Ray Ramsey, John Leezer, Don Brigham, Rod Tolmie, Jockey Feindel, Arthur Lane, Marcel Grand, Jeff Gibbons, Roy Tripp, Jack MacKenzie, T.
