Facilifies Have Shown a Constant Improvement
♦ Despite linanciai problems, we ha\e managtil in ilu last three years to make a constant inipro\enieni in oiii physical situation. We now have the basic studio menlioneil earliei'. a separate sound recording studio, a good si/eil ciutiiig room, a sound control room operating into both studios, a projection room, \iewing room, storage space and offices. W'e also have space given to a complete still photography set-u]), which is another of our services.
Ihe equipment accpiired at the beginning was onh enough to barely get along on— but it was good. To this base we have been adding (e\erything is IGnnii, of course) . We now ha\e Maurer, Cine Special and Bell and Howell 70DA cameras, Maurer film recorder and rerecorder, Fairchild disc recorder and transcription turntaijles. Western Electric 25B mixing console, Ncuinade and Moviola editing ec[ui]}ment. a fair amoinit of lights, cable and ^aric)lrs accessories. When we go on
Sound nnan Paul Seitzinger prepares a "take".
liicaiion we ha\e the use of a ion panel (ruck and a stalion w.igoii ((piijjped with special camera ])latforms.
.\l present our peisoinul consists ol an administrali\i' head (who doubles as a wi iuiclirec lor) . aiiollic-r wrilc I director, a chief cameraman, a (hid sninid man, a siill photographer, a secietary. and \aricnis paitiime help as ncccicci, such as scri|Ji girls, etc. Various membeis ol ilic sialf double as editors, and everyone triples into sonuihiug. liy the time this aiiide appears we probabh will ha\e added one oi Hvo more |)ersons lo ihc stall.
I he .Mniion I'icluie and Recoiding .Studio h.is been opciaiing np icj now chiefly as ;i production .set-up. A small amoum of informal teaching has been dc)ne, but no credit courses ha\e been given. Ihe demand is beginning to grow, however, and this may soon be one of oiu' greatest problems. We are also in the throes of producing our first teaching him for sale under our own financing— the story of the making of a mural in fresco, with Henry Varnum Poor as the artist. Whether or not it is successful may have considerable influence on our Inline operations. Motion pictme productions as graduate theses hcjld a tremendous challenge— we have done several, and the experiment seems highly successful. These are only samples of problems which Penn State and other universities and colleges must solve if our motion picture production units are to .serve their greatest usefulness in a time of great need. •
