Abstract
The anticipated reduction of film markets attendant upon disturbances in Europe caused many studios to reëxamine production routines and practices with a view to reducing costs without impairing quality. A routine, in widespread use in much the same manner, which gave promise of cost saving was that of marking “takes,” at time of photographing, for ready identification through subsequent stages of picture production. The process of so marking film is referred to, within the studios generally, as “slating.” Analysis of the shortcomings of the slating method employed by our studio led to the development of a slating attachment mounted upon the camera blimp or iris rods and operated by the assistant camerman. The design requirements formulated and the manner and degree of compliance embodied in the device now in production use are described.
