printed. The printing stock is Ansco color release film, Type 732, also a reversible-type film of relatively low speed, very fine grain, and special sensitization for printing.3
When the daily print is received, it is edited as in black-and-white production, and the track is recorded. This step is followed by rerecording sound effects and musical background. At this point a word should be given about the type of track best suited for Ansco release printing. Excellent results with no loss in reproduction volume have been obtained using the direct-positive method of final recording. A studio recorder, Radio Corporation of America PR 23, was converted to handle either negative or direct-positive recording. Otherwise in negative sound recording, with a positive track furnished for printing, some method has to be devised to realign the track placement because the track must be on the opposite side of the film for printing a reversible type of color system.
Conformation of the original camera film with the edited daily work print follows and lap dissolves or other effects may be inserted as there is Ansco color Type 132 duplicating film and Ansco color Type 154 masking film available for making effects on optical printers. When conformation is complete and the re-recorded direct-positive film is synchronized, this material is delivered to the laboratory to prepare a composite print. In timing the original, the laboratory now times each scene for printing, as in black-and-white procedure, except that each frame of the timing strip has a different filter balance and there are several density balances made on each scene.4 From these strips, a timing number and a filter combination are selected to print each scene. The first print from the assembled negative, known as the answer print, has scene-for-scene density and color correction. The Bell and Howell printers used have been remodeled to provide a light source of 3200 degrees Kelvin for printing the Ansco color release positive, Type 732, and for inserting filters into the light source quickly and for the rapid changing of these filters during printing. This answer print is shipped to the producer for approval and if color balance on certain scenes needs changing, a second answer print is processed. After an approval has been obtained, release prints are ordered and the 35-mm print requirements are supplied.
MAKING THE 16-MM COLOR PRINT
Each 35-mm release print is carefully inspected, and one is selected to be used as the master for the production of the 16-mm release prints
