The detailed work of each of the men mentioned will be discussed later. Since all of them have individual interest and problems dealing with the settings to be built, they all attend the initial conferences. Each must know what the other is doing, and all must maintain the spirit of working together. In an enterprise so mosaic in character as the making of motion pictures, the failure of any one activity to correlate, interrelate, and co-operate might easily mean failure on the part of the whole picture to achieve its dramatic goal.
Specific problems must be solved. Among them are the number of lights the electrical superintendent will have to supply on a given day; the number of people to be fed and the number of meals to be served on location; the number of cameras; the kinds of lenses the cinematographer will need for a certain effect on a certain day; the number of gallons of paint the chief painter will require. When such questions have been solved, the cost accountant sharpens his pencils, and the art director-in-chief appoints a company or a "unit" art director as assistant.
The cost accountant puts everything down in cold figures. Through long experience he has developed many short cuts. By averaging the costs of many sets he can estimate any one set at a certain figure per square foot and come very close to the actual cost. In the same manner, for crowd scenes it is known how many players are needed to give a crowded appearance to a specified area of square feet.
