Direct 16-mm Production
There are so many reasons why 16-mm film can and should be used that the industrial and educational user is using more and more of it. The production of 16-mm sound pictures by the direct method has been making progress. Today there are a number of companies using direct black-and-white and color sound productions in the 16-mm size. Many who are trying to use the method do not understand the proper technic or do not use the best commercial facilities available, which make the process slow in being generally accepted. — Certain advantages and economies are effected by using the direct 16-mm production method which make it desirable for the non-user of sound-films to use this medium for the first time, and for others to use the film more effectively. Complete commercial 16-mm production and laboratory facilities are now available that equal those of the best 35-mm industrial producers. The problem of making wipes, fades, dissolves, and other tricks in the laboratory has been solved for direct 16-mm production. Re-recording facilities for blending sound from several sources are available, making it possible to achieve truly professional results by the direct method. A few examples of direct 16-mm productions are given.
