Motion Picture Production for Television
A new technique of motion picture filming has been developed, making important economies in theatrical production costs. Titled the “Multicam Process,” this technique utilizes three or more cameras operating simultaneously from three or more different angles or on long, medium and close-up shots. The system permits a picture to be photographed in continuous action, cuts from one camera to another being indicated by “sync” marks on the selected film, and corresponding lines exposed on the sound film. The marking and “sync” devices are automatic. The Multicam Process makes it possible to film completely 30-min programs in a day, and to film “live” shows as they are televised.
