Movie Makers (Jan-Dec 1948)

MOVIE MAKERS 121 should not be expected to handle large screens as well as 16mm. For largescreen projection, in clubs, churches, schools, etc., 16mm. is preferable; but for home projection on screens up to 48 inches wide, 8mm. will be entirely satisfactory. And 48 inches is as wide as anyone could ask. for home movies. Robert H. Unseld Advertising Manager Bell & Howell Company Chicago MANY FACTORS DETERMINE . . . Many factors determine the choice between 8mm. and 16mm. movies. The first, obviously, is film cost. If personal home movies, only, are the objective, and if the degree of crispness and the admitted screen size limitations of Eight movies are deemed adequate, the greater economy of 8mm. movie making is a powerful argument for its selection. But if the larger, more detailed screen images obtainable from 16mm. film are held to be more important than maximum film economy, then Sixteen is the logical choice. The second most important factor in determining your choice is the camera — its cost and its ability to make your kind of movies. There is no reason why good 8mm. cameras should be markedly lower in price than 16mm. equipment of comparable quality and ability. Already somewhat handicapped as to picture size, in the interests of film economy, 8mm. movies deserve and require all possible perfection in camera optics and operation. Good movie projection of either 8mm. or 16mm. movies likewise requires comparable equipment. The Eight projector will not need the quantity of illumination necessary to full-size enjoyment of 16mm. films because it will not be throwing its movies on the larger size screens. But it will require precision optics and sound craftsmanship throughout; hence, here too the Eight devotee should not expect or attempt to cut corners on equipment costs. For the time being, at least, amateur sound is to be found almost exclusively within the realm of 16mm. film and projectors. . . . Many home movie makers, therefore, select 16mm. equipment both for the larger, crisper movies in which it results and for enjoyment of the growing number of sound films available for home shows.
