TITLES AREN'T TOUGH!
16mm. frames by FREDERICK R. KLOSTERMAN, ACL
MAKING titles, for Fred Klosterman, ACL, seems to be about as easy an operation as taking the proverbial candy from children. "I have no formal titling equipment," he wrote us. "I simply use my camera on
a tripod, a 1 inch lens, % inch letters and any objects for decoration that I find at hand. And I use sunlight for illumination." This seeming so simple, we asked Mr. K. also to describe his layouts. The picture captions are his.

the land and silver on the toy plane. The intercut shot of the plane's props I shot from the co-pilot's seat of a Guest Airways DC-4. Note cross lighting on toy plane and "Mexico."
NEWS OF THE HOUR is the lead title for a newsreel film I have made. The background is a maroon bath towel I snitched from the bathroom, the clock is gold and the camera gray. The letters, once white, I painted dull black.
THIS END TITLE is the one I made for the newsreel film. Over the same maroon towel I erected vertically the natural-colored driftwood, hung from it a dark-red leaf-shaped ashtray and a watch. The white letters are glued on.
THIS LEAD TITLE is for a comedy skit. The heads are carved coconuts usually bought by tourists. The one at left is covered with a flesh-colored mask, the one at right wears a blonde wig. Bright neckties are worn "live" later in film.

THIS TORERO TITLE was easy! The background was simply a painting that I bought in Mexico City — bright red cape, brown bull, a pastel sky and the matador is in brown and tan. . . . My wife helped me with the "Bull Fight" title and we had a lot of fun. On a sandy-white card and using blood-red paint, we spelled
out the words with single-frame shooting— and then splashed it for good measure with gobs of paint. . . . On the "Acapulco" shot, the white letters again are on a background of maroon, but this time a hand towel. The natural-color fish net is in actuality my wife's beach jacket, including the cork floats!
