Effect of Time Element in Television Program Operations

Harry R. Lubcke

A television performance must not suffer interruption. Adequate manuscript treatment, technical perfection, and production teamwork are required. The “preset principle” employed by Don Lee Television is described. Large stages are employed with production auxiliaries overhead. Twelve or more sets can be constructed, dressed, and lighted on a single stage, if required. — Duplicate equipment is cited as important in enabling commercial television to approach the production perfection afforded by the cutting process in motion picture. — The need for a trained, co-operative production crew is emphasized with a hint of the human behavior necessary to attain this end.
