Abstract: The system for recording of motion pictures in high quality on film combines the apparatus and techniques of television broadcasting studio practices with high-quality motion-picture film mechanisms for both 16mm and 35mm film in black-and-white and color. Details of the system and its methods of use are described. The particular apparatus for both the 16mm and 35mm versions is discussed. Multiple-camera operation with simultaneous recording on the several films is monitored and controlled by television viewfinders so that the crew and program director may shoot continuously and rapidly in the manner of television broadcast control of multiple cameras, with a resultant direct high-quality film recording. The assembly of the final master program is expedited by the director's constant planning and observation of the results of the several cameras as portrayed for him on television monitors, from which he calls for the desired “take” shots which are video switched to a final program monitor whose signals are simultaneously being recorded on a teletranscription cutting-guide film which serves as a cutting master for assembling the finished film product with a great saving of time.
