Movie Makers (Jan-Dec 1937)

MOVIE MAKERS 39 keep from showing all these unsatisfactory results to my friends, because I can cut them out as soon as the film is developed and returned. If a scene is poor, it will be discarded unless it is of great sentimental value, in which case it will be kept with others of its kind on a reel that will be shown only to the family. I will edit all films as soon as possible, rearranging shots here and there, shortening some scenes and making each reel a complete unit or story in so far as that is possible. The films then will be projected and, where titles are needed, they will be inserted. I will strive for ''presentation" at shoivings. I will purchase a good screen and will have a table for the projector placed at the proper distance from the screen. I will have seats arranged so that the audience can see the screen comfortably, and my films will be edited and on 400 foot reels so that the show will go on with the minimum of interruptions. There will be a small light near the projector to facilitate threading. If possible, I will have some appropriate records playing on the phonograph, because I know that music will lessen the effect of projector noise and will bring relaxation and added enjoyment to the audience. If I keep these resolutions, I believe that my friends will welcome my shows and that their genuine pleasure will bring me greater enjoyment. I know that I shall have the consciousness of doing the job of movie making well and that this will give me personal pleasure and satisfaction every time I put a reel on the projector. From my window [Continued from page 28] Day, the meadow is filled with May poles and happy children, and many times have we set up a cine camera and gotten charming pictures of the white clad little figures moving gaily around the bright colored poles. For long, sheep kept down the grass of the meadow. The sheep fold was close under my window; the spring brought a crop of little lambs and summer days were marked with the flock nibbling slowly across tire meadow green. Gone now are such bucolic joys. Motors cut the grass, the sheep have been removed to Prospect Park in Brooklyn and the sheep fold has been transformed into a restaurant. Far removed are we from the day when Mayor Hylan kept several cows in a specially fenced enclosure. Gone, too, are the years through which we watched high buildings rise on the south side of the Park, the towering shaft of the Empire State Building take its place in the skyline, the myriad windowed R. C. A. Building of Rockefeller Center loom bulkily to the left, hiding remoter and more graceful structures. See YOUR HOLIDAY MOVIES on a DA-LITE SCREEN!
