[edit] Film magazines and lighting

The article states,

Aside from growing stock prices, they introduced 1000-foot film magazines, which cut back on the lighting costs by 50 percent

Perhaps an explanation is in order on what one has to do with the other. I don't see the connection between film magazine size and lighting costs. — Walloon 19:02, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Shooting with smaller magazines (such as 200' or 500') means stopping the camera during takes, which means leaving the lights on while you reload the camera and reset your shot. Shorter magazines mean longer shoots. The Photoplayer 07:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you should explain that in the article. — Walloon 08:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll get around to it, but better yet, I will cite my source when I have some time. The Photoplayer 12:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Anything yet? — Walloon 06:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trucolor

I have deleted this section from the article:

Trucolor was similar to Cinecolor. The process was used and owned by Consolidated Film Industries division of Republic Pictures Corp. Trucolor was a two strip (red and blue-green) process used by Republic for its westerns (mostly Roy Rogers epics.) The process was used in the late 1940s and early 50s. Possibly the last film photographed in the process was "Johnny Guitar", starring Joan Crawford and Sterling Hayden. With the advent of more natural Eastman and Ansco color stock, Trucolor was abandoned.

This isn't an article about Trucolor, and Trucolor had no corporate relationship to Cinecolor. They both happen to be two-color motion picture processes, and that's it. If this were an article about two-color motion picture processes, it would be appropriate. — Walloon 06:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
