For other convenient sources of illumination, it was found that several of the efficient types of movie lighting units served the purpose very well. As a matter of fact, this light battery was made for all around experimental work in order to have available a great deal of light when this was found necessary. In using it, not every bulb needs to be lighted and the exposure meter can be consulted on this point in every case. However, even the five light box "broad" will not endanger the average house fuse and will be found very useful for full length Kodacolor shots and for other purposes where a great deal of light is needed. The three light unit was designed to lighten the shadows when the other is used. For closeup and half length Kodacolor shooting, there has been designed a new, efficient reflector of the collapsible, conical type. It is made of metal and is very convenient. These reflectors are especially recommended by the makers of Kodacolor for the purpose, and the following handy table is given for shooting Kodacolor with Photoflood lamps in them: Number of lamps Distance from Camera (each in reflector) lamp to subject speed 2 iy2 feet Normal 2 2% " Half 3 2 " Normal 3 31/2 " Half With both lighting units assembled and tested, it only remained to experiment with the film and the subject. In order to give the home made arrangement a thorough test under varying conditions, a series of shots, from a near closeup to a full length long shot, were made at both half and normal camera speeds. In general, the lights were arranged to duplicate the standard portrait lighting, in which the most powerful source comes from above the sitter's head and slightly from the front, while the auxiliary light was placed on the opposite side, at eye level or slightly lower. This lighting does not give the strongest light on the subject of which the units are capable but does avoid the flat lighting which robs the subject of character. Such a typical lighting result is shown in the accompanying enlargement from a Kodacolor frame, made under the conditions described. This may be defined as a medium close shot. The subject on the screen is full of color and is satisfactorily exposed. Really full exposures were obtained at normal camera speed on closeup and semi near shots and at twelve speed for the longer shots, using the same light. The color results are beautiful, indeed, and it is unfortunate that the reproduction here can show only the black and white version.
