The Theatrical Newsreel Cameraman: Part 2
As one of the last Pathe News staff cameramen in the years before the final theatrical newsreel issue was released in 1967, this writer had the unique opportunity to know most of the aging breed of newsreel cameramen who witnessed and recorded outstanding world events during the three preceding decades. This paper, the second of two parts, is an overview of that era when the theatrical newsreel was at its zenith. Part 1, in an earlier issue of the Motion Imaging Journal,1 dealt with the theatrical newsreel companies, their organization, personalities, and historical anecdotes. This part will cover the technological aspects of the theatrical newsreel operations.
