Movie Makers (Jun-Dec 1928)

you can bet I'll use the same system. The motion picture end of it will come later. It pays to think about photography as well as cinematography. OUT OF THE TROPICS (Continued from page 531) circular platen of the printer, threaded over the sprocket and the light turned on. Now if the crank is turned, the two films will be run past the light inside the printer and the positive printed. This is then developed just as the negative was, and it is ready for cutting. In threading the printer, the dull sides of both negative and positive stock must be together and the negative must lie between the light and the positive stock. To test exposure, a foot or so should be run through the machine and developed. A "safe" window is provided, so that the operator may watch the film as it runs through the machine, and compensate for changes in the intensity of the negative. For the experimenter who has any inclination toward home development, the writer believes the Stineman apparatus opens the way to new cinematographic enjoyment. CRITICAL FOCUSING {Continued from page 525) posures of actual scenes against the model backgrounds. The same plan is used in suggesting the events of the honeymoon in Venice. In this latter sequence it would appear that some of the models were attached to revolving drums, thus providing animation in themselves, and the double exposures of rushing trains were particularly effective. The modernistic touch in the design of the models added greatly to their smartness, which was in harmony with the mood of the story. Kaleidoscopic Mirrors: One of the telling devices used by this director to emphasize certain details, as a relief from the usual close-up method, was the multifold reflection of the desired object, a silk hat, a wineglass, etc., in a mirror which seemed to be divided into many triangles, each reflecting the subject, much as the kaleidoscope multiplies reflections in geometric formations. It seems probable that this was done by means of some kaleidoscopic apparatus in connection with the camera lens, the image being split and reflected by means of prisms and mirrors, the whole pattern being in motion. While a difficult problem for amateur attack its results would justify experiment. SALEo/^EPT still and MOVIE CAMERAS IDEAL FOR VACATIONS Takes 16 ft. Roll Standard 35 M, M.
