High and mighty [Continued from page 323] beauty of the setting — the towering snow-clad peaks on every side, the dense spruce forests covering the slopes, beautiful Spray River just below the hotel and the graceful symmetry of the Three Sisters peaks in the distance. Go down into the colorful little mountain town of Banff, which has grown up beside the popular resort. Catch some of the Indian craftsmen at their trades, with closeups of the people themselves and their wares. If you are fortunate enough to be at Banff during Indian Days, Canada's premier frontier celebration, you will have a rare opportunity for filming the Stoney Indians, in their gay paint and colorful costumes, in their ritualistic dances and other •!. ceremonies. Preceding Indian Days is the Calgary Stampede, which is actually the Canadian festival that coincides with the annual Indian celebration. There is a Wild West show in conjunction with Calgary Stampede, where you can get good action shots of bronco busters, wild steer riders, chuck wagon drives and lariat contests. On another day, follow the mountain paths up the slopes from the hotel for some breath-taking views of the Bow River Valley. Not far from the hotel is the cascading Bow River Falls, which should make an exciting study. Catch the scenic beauties of the place at different times of the day. so that your lights and colors will vary from one scene to another. A side trio to beautiful Mount Assiniboine Park, a short distance from Banff, will provide further scenic delights. Before you leave Banff, don't forget to pick up the thread of your story, to carry it over to the next major part. AUGUST 1948 Show the departure from Banff and, unless you find some scenes particularly worth filming between Banff and Lake Louise, save your film for better things to come. ON LOCATION-LAKE LOUISE Follow the same scheme here as at Banff, just glimpsing the scene of Chateau Lake Louise and the grounds on your arrival and exploring them later in greater detail. Since this is one of Canada's best known resorts and one of the loveliest scenic spots in North America, your detail shots will necessarily follow the postcard examples. When you start your detailed camera studies, catch the famous reflection in the lake. Be sure to include a slow, smooth tilt at the end to the actual setting or your reflection scenes may be confusing. Around the lake are the snowy heights of Mount Victoria. Mount Lefroy and Mount Aberdeen. Don't linger too long on these panoramas, for they tend to resemble stills if you concentrate on single views. Vary the scenic shots with some of people, action and movement. Following the paths up the slopes, plan to visit the Lakes in the Clouds, the Plain of the Six Glaciers, Saddleback. Paradise Valley. These name places would make good titles, by the way, to insert in the appropriate spots. If you fancy mountain climbing, you might trudge the high trail to Lake O'Hara with your Swiss guide over Abbot Pass. Almost any direction in which you turn your camera will provide magnificent scenic views, but remember that you will get more attractive frames if you plan your shots and give attention to artistic composition. However, don't lose yourself in the grandeur of the scenery. Remember there are people around. Use them in the foreground of your scenes for perspective, and feature their activities whenever you can. You can also lighten the mood of your film if you are able to catch — or stage — some humorous incidents here and there. Nine miles from Lake Louise is beautiful Moraine Lake, flanked by ten majestic peaks, all over 10.000 feet in height. Here is another exquisite mirrored view, the snow-topped peaks reflected in the emerald blue of the water. The hanging glaciers of Mount Fay. Mount Deltaform, Mount Neptuak and Mount Wenkchemna are landmarks of this area. Also a short distance from Lake Louise is Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, reached via Snowpeak Avenue. Emerald Peak. Mount President and Mount Burgess ring this jewel-like, high mountain lake. Alpine Emerald Lake Chalet nestles at the water's edge, dwarfed by the massive peaks around it. To go with this Swiss setting, the
