 More
than a year has elapsed since the introduction of incandescent lighting
equipment units, designed especially for use in motion picture photography.
Since that time there has been considerable discussion, many tests and
large quantities of film made with this form of light.
All,
who have followed the development of this method of lighting, feel that
the incandescents have established a place for themselves. The profession
in general will probably be interested in seeing to what extent the new
apparatus is being acquired by the studios.
The
past year has been what we might call a more or less dull period in picture
making at some studios. Others have not had the time to make shifts in
lighting methods, due to interruption of schedules, however, you will
note that a steady and healthy accumulation of Mazda equipment is taking
place.
We have
gathered our information from reliable sources and feel that the data
and figures given herein should be a fairly accurate summary of the situation
at this time.
A Mole-Richardson
production curve covering equipment sold and delivered monthly during
the year ending June 31st, 1928, shows a gradually increasing demand for
incandescent lighting.
We have
used the KW lamp capacities of the various units as a basis for tabulating
our information. In addition to their own equipment, the studios have
kept a rental stock; available at this time and amounting to approximately
1000 KW in lamp capacities in almost constant use.
