TELECASTS

come large blots, long shots blur and there is difficulty in recognizing the cast. New lighting techniques must be used, distance shots avoided and the size and color of the average video screen must be kept constantly in mind during production if quality transmission is to be maintained.
Commenting further on video's effect on the motion picture industry, Fairbanks predicted the development of many new stars, directors, writers, technicians and producers, stating that the future will require a huge new industry, with Hollywood as the logical centre.
'"Stations will require eight or nine hours of film per day," he pointed out, "based on the estimate that half, of video programming will entail the use of film. This totals over 1000 times the amount of film being produced annually by any one major studio at the present time. When this is multiplied by the number of stations in only one city it necessitates a new, specialized industry.
"Five years after television hits its stride, there will be jobs for half a million people," he continued. "Ten years after it reaches complete commercialization, it will provide work for more than 4 million people." All of Hollywood's trade secrets : process shots, miniatures, slow motion or animation are either very difficult or impossible to duplicate in live telecasts, he stated. But they can be easily accomplished on film, add tremendous production value to any program and save money. "No sponsor," he concluded, "can afford the millions of dollars, and the months of time necessary to produce a hit film. Television will be no more harmful to the motion picture industry than the radio today."
