TECHNICOLOR AND OTHER METHODS 201 



new Kodachrome film enable one to make natural 

 color pictures direct, producing a positive in all its 

 natural color without filters or special projectors. I 

 have made sixteen foot pictures in large auditoriums 

 with the best results, better than I have with porta- 

 ble 1,000 watt machines using standard 35 mm. film. 



The improvements being made every year by the 

 manufacturers keep you busy trying to keep up with 

 them, but the Kodachrome color film, where color is 

 absolutely necessary as it is in my work with plant 

 and animal life, has so reduced the cost that it brings 

 it within the reach of a lecturer or special worker. 



With the 16 mm. and Kodachrome, 400' are equal 

 to 1,000 of standard and allowing half the footage 

 cut, in the final selection it leaves from six one 

 hundred foot reels at $9 each or $54 as cost of the 

 material for a reel (the film costs include the proc- 

 essing) against $1,000 for best three-color standard 

 film on the market. The Kodachrome film is not yet 

 on the market in the standard size. At present no one 

 is making duplication prints of the Kodachrome 

 method but before going into 16 mm. I did enough 

 experimental work to know that I could make my 

 own duplicate prints, which I am doing now. 



Kodachrome film, as made now, is better than 

 Technicolor or any other color method. Color ren- 

 dering is far from perfect. It requires the exactly
