Abstract: This paper describes some of the difficulties encountered in sending a motion picture company into a faraway country for the purpose of obtaining realism in production. It describes in detail the difficulties encountered in preparing the company for departure, and those experienced after arriving in the Malay States. The problems attending the sound and camera equipment, in transporting the exposed film to the laboratory in time to avoid deterioration, the experiences with the natives who had been engaged to supply “atmosphere” for the picture, the particular difficulties encountered in recording sound in inaccessible places, and a few more or less personal experiences of the technicians who accompanied the expedition, are all described.
