371 TOY INTO REEL RACK A filming father finds an easy-to-make editing rack hidden in Junior's toys Photographs by LEWIS C. COOK We ELL, the summer is over now, and you're back from your vacation, and it's getting to be editing time for the summer's film crop. How many loose 50 or 100 foot reels of film have you got scrambled across your editing desk? Can you find the exact one you want, when you want it? Can you get at the different scenes easily and quickly? Well, don't go crazy. Simply go to the nearest toy store and buy a Junior Tinkertoy set. Before you know it you've got a handy editing rack. You can see in the picture below how completely easy the whole thing is to put together. Each of the cross rows pictured will accept a maximum of eight 50 or 100 foot reels of film. And. of course, you can add or subtract these rows as needed. As constructed here, the two top rows can be opened for adding reels without taking the rack apart. In use, the rack is simplicity itself. Light in weight, it can be moved about your editing desk to any position called for by your operations. Between sessions, the rack is easily stowed away, still carrying its reels in order. TWO TOP CROSSBARS open and close freely, without dismantling the rest of rack, for addition or rearrangement of films during editing process. SCENE SELECTIONS are first made by hand or through the editing viewer, rear, and editing plans perfected on paper before final cutting. EDITING RACK, created by author from child's building toys, holds eight reels of processed film on each bar. WITH PLANS COMPLETE, the desired scenes are spliced easily and in order onto projection reel. Note swing-out of crossbar for direct feed.
