MOVIE MAKERS 261 Cine-Kodak covers our first Great Victory THE original of that great movie you saw— "The Battle of Midway"— was made with a Cine-Kodak, on 16-mm. Kodachrome Film. It was made by Navy men who risked their lives in a hail of bombs, a hell of fire, an inferno of exploding ammunition and gasoline, to give the Army and Navy authentic battle data. And incidentally, to inform you, too. You may have noticed that the movie was rough and jerky in spots — that was because the cameramen were reeling under the concussions. One shot, of the flaming sky above exploding oil tanks, was preceded by a terrific jolt in the picture. Remember? That was because the Cine-Kodak was blown out of the operator's hands, hit the ground right side up but with an upward angle — and coolly continued making the movie . . . doing its job without benefit of an operator. Think what superb construction a camera must have, to stand up under tests like these. Because the Cine-Kodak can "take it"— because it goes on operating with precision and dependability under incredibly rough conditions — it is used by the Army and Navy, Air Force, and Signal Corps to record these actual battle scenes at the front, as well as for the making of valuable training films. If you own a Cine-Kodak — be proud of it. Take care of it. Use it, these days of limited film, to make movies of the home front ... to show your soldier when he comes back.
