We have only two lull-time men and one hall-lime man working exclusively in the production of motion picture films. Several other staff members of the lUireau of .Audio-Visual Instruction, however, assist with lilm jjroduction when certain rush jobs are being ccjmpleted. The major problem we have in the production of educational motion pictures on the campus at the .State University of Iowa is to find time to complete the films we are requested to make. VVlien we first started producing films, very few departments requested this service, but during the jiast few years many departments have seen the possibility of having classroom films made to fit specific teaching situations. As a result our backlog of films "to be produced" has grown to a great extent. Another problem tfiat we have faced on our camjjiis is to educate our own faculty regarding the need for good, well defined production outlines and scripts prior Shooting lip synchronized sound and picture, using camera in blimp.

In the past, mans ol our laciilty members ha\e requested films to be |jroduced vvithout considering the need for a script or outline, and we ha\C' had some clifhciill\ in explaining this need. Films Produced -for Many University Departments ♦ During recent years, films have been produced for many departmeius. A series of films have been completed for the Industrial Engineering Department on Motion and Time Study, and ha\e been verv successfid in assisting industrial organizations to improve methods of motion economy. Other fihns have been produced for such departments as the Hureau of Dental Hvgiene, the De]jaitment of Physical Education for W'omen, the Department of Athletics and Physical Education lot Men, the College of Medicine, College of Education, the Iowa Child Welfare Research Station, Information Service and others. Assistance is also extended to other schools under the Iowa State Board of Education regarding the production of educational motion pictures. We are hojiing to expand <iur production facilities at the State University of Iowa in the near future when (continued on the f o l I. o w I n c, p a t: k ) Modern laboratory equipment is available on campus for 16mm developing and printing of University-produced films. Animation plays an important part in Iowa films: here is the Bureau's title and animation stand in use. BY SEE & HEAR 3A :lii m «.-««.
