8mm Sound Film: A Professional News Medium for Television

Richard B. Rawls

8mm single-system sound-on-film techniques have been adapted to the production of on-the-spot news film inserts for TV programs. Available equipment has been used and new techniques developed. Advantages of the professional use of 8mm sound film are cited with particular reference to economy. The use of 8mm sound film to supplement existing methods of producing TV news programs is recommended, and the suggestion is made that such use would tend to stimulate development of equipment in the 8mm field.
