Fortv The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER J 'uly, 1934 01 Focus so-eaSEtts LITTLE MAN, WHAT NEXT!! By Otto Phocus PC G> A. It' After compiling the questionnaires mailed out by the engineer*, pre men and brakemen, plans have been drawn up by a pair of drainers, Messers. Inkspod and Blurr and are herewith submitted for; what? Presenting the ALL COLOR, ALL SOUND, ALL ANGLE. ALL WEATHER, ALL OVER, ALL EVERYTHING CAMERA. The outstanding achievement of the industry for week ending By the time this is off the press so many changes will he made that it will he useless to pay much attention to it but, as we try to he late with the latest, it is submitted to you for no reason at all. So many new features have been incorporated into the new ALL' EVERYTHING CAMERA that it does everything but talk and take pictures and, with all the data we have on hand, even that might be accomplished in the near future. Some of the features are: — Buckles Naturally, they are to be expected, hut there is so much room on the inside of the camera, that in the event of a buckle, the camera will continue to run and as soon as the scene is finished the fi'm can be packed back on the -pools. Sound A new departure has been installed on this model. The sound enters the matte box at the same time the pictures do and is photographed simultaneously. This eliminates interlocking devices and remote recording units and gives the sound men a chance to rest a few. Nice? Panning and Tilting The general consensus of opinion was: It was sill) in mine the whole camera around for pan and tilt shots. RESOLVED: That the matte box be lined with a series of mirrors and placed on a ball and socket. All that is necessary then is to aim the matte box at the scene and \ nu have it. Film By an ingenious arrangement, either Eastman or DuPont Film can be used without making any adjustments. Lenses Certain cameramen and cinematographers prefer certain makes of lenses. This has been simplified by interchangeable name plates on all lenses. Low Shots So many suggestions for low shots were submitted that we added them all up and divided and came to the conclusion we would dig a hole for the rear wheels. The lower the shot the lower the hole. Economic Factors The law requires that voters be given time off to register for voting. The sound department registers the most (kicks) so this has been placed in their hands on the top floor of the ALL EVERYTHING CAMERA and prevents employees from leaving the set. As soon as flexible plumbing has been perfected we will add another device which will eliminate "leaving the set." Elevating This is accomplished by a screw. (No intent to helittle operator is meant by this statement.) Refer to plans and this will he readily understood. Operation This is controlled from behind the camera by a man with a sensitive lever and a knurled knob, with the greatest of ease.
