Report of the Studio Lighting Committee

An explanation is given of lighting problems from the viewpoint of the cinematographer. Certain advances in equipment and working tools remain in obscurity for a long period before they find their rightful places in motion picture set lighting because they seem to interfere with dramatic effect. If they possess merit however, they are gradually adapted to general use. A typical example is the light-meter. which is now going through the final stages of assimilation to studio lighting technic. New fast films have been brought into rue and the resulting changes in lighting technic are now in the process of perfection. Recent changes in lighting equipment are described. Three new higher speed negative films for the Technicolor process are being med. The effect of the new films on Technicolor set lighting is explained.
