Motion Picture Studio of Brigham Young University

Robert W. Stum, R. Irwin Goodman

After five years of research and planning, the new motion-picture studio for the Department of Motion Picture Production of the Brigham Young University began operation in the Fall of 1958. With the aim to produce pictures of highest quality at reasonable cost, for the University and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Morman) the studio was designed to carry an idea through from script to screen. The basic unit of this new facility is an 80 by 100-ft soundstage. Adequate space is provided for all activities relating to motion-picture production such as animation, art department, set construction, set storage, sound recording and dubbing. Included are separate offices for writers and production personnel. Modern equipment was selected for suitability and to meet the highest standards of perfection.
