Movie Makers (Jan-Dec 1930)

MOVIE MAKERS 5M made by this method, except that usually there is no attempt to shield the lens from the sun. There may also be cases where you have much the same problem as shown in the cigarette pictures illustrated. This effect can be made as well with a movie as with a still camera but, of course, your light must be strong as time exposures are out of the question in movie making. Another filter that is helpful is the Wratten G which has a factor of 5X with "pan" film and is a deep yellow filter considerably heavier than the K-3 and requiring, as a rule, almost as much increase in exposure as the A.

The use of such effect filters requires special accessories and their description has no place here.

In order to be absolutely fair to the United States, amateurs should make a strict interpretation of "commercial purposes." An amateur film that is shown for an admission charge, even if for charity or similar altruistic purpose, would, strictly speaking, have been put to a commercial purpose. The information in this article is purely provisional in character and is the best obtainable by the Amateur Cinema League at this time. As soon as the Customs Regulations for the Tariff Act of 1930 have appeared. Movie Makers will provide information covering them and will offer specific suggestions for carrying them out. The important fact is that the basic principle of the freedom from duty of amateur movies has been written into the laws of the United States and that movie amateurs have been given privileges equal to those previouslv enjoyed (Continued on page 513) A Wider Range for Color Movies You can take color movies in shady spots without loss of color value, if you have a Filmo 70-D, equipped with Kodacolor.
