65 mm. Film Size Seen as the "Ideal" for Wide Film
Dr. N. M. La Porte, director of research for Paramount-Publix, recently had some interesting things to say relative to the advantages of using 65 mm. film. Dr. La Porte pointed out that 65 mm. film not only supplies an increased angle of vision but greatly increases the sharpness of the picture.
He also explained that the installation of wide screens in several of the Paramount-Publix houses had nothing to do with the advancement of wide film photography, although when wide film productions are released the screens could probably be used for that as well as their present use in relation to the Magnascope. In respect to recent experiments with 65 mm. film Dr. La Porte made the following interesting revelation:
High Magnification Ratio
"In the use of 35 mm. film on an average 24-foot screen, the magnification of the picture is approximately 90,000 to 1."
A PREDICTION
J.N i 9 14 Eastman announced the first panchromatic motion picture negative film. It swept the country... In March, 193 1, Eastman announced the first stable ultra-speed panchromatic — Eastman Super-sensitive Panchromatic Negative, Type 2... It is predicted that just as color-sensitive film has practically replaced color-blind material, so the new Eastman Super-sensitive will make slower emulsions virtually obsolete... Naturally the producers and camera men who are adopting this remarkable film now will reap the greatest advantage ... Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, New York. (J. E. Brulatour, Inc., Distributors, New York, Chicago, Hollywood.)
