Movie Makers (Jan-Dec 1949)

HERE'S THE ACL COLOR LEADER YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! To all ACL Members: During the last few months, many of you have written, phoned and talked to us with one question in mind: "When is the Amateur Cinema League going to have an official leader in color for its members?" The answer is: NOW! Yes, all members of the ACL can now get League leaders in smoothly animated Kodachrome for as many of their films as they wish. 8mm. or 16mm., of course! The frame enlargements above give you an idea — but only a very rough one — of some of the highlights of the new ACL leader. What these frames cannot show you is the vibrant color, the exciting sense of motion, as the full leader develops. Here's what you'll see on your own home screen . . . Against a dark background, the earth — with the continents varicolored against the rich blue seas — revolves slowly until the sparkling, crystal letters ACL fade in across the sphere's curvature. Then a narrow band of brilliant red, bearing in white, raised letters the word MEMBER, swings across the globe. A second band of red, with AMATEUR CINEMA in white, zooms in from the right and is followed by a third red band, with the word LEAGUE. A smooth lap dissolve follows, and across the same three red panels appear the words WORLD WIDE ASSOCIATION OF MOVIE MAKERS, in gleaming white letters. These, together with the sphere, then slowly fade out. There's still more: the trailer. As your film ends, you fade in once more on the slowly spinning earth — and a brilliant red band sweeps diagonally across it, announcing in large white letters THE END. But we can't tell you about it. You've got to see the leader to appreciate it, to get the feeling of real glamour that it will add to your most distinguished films. Shoot us your order today — and own a real movie making emblem of ACL membership! h Cordially, QLmj*xJ» VWtf-LAi^ JAMES W.
