FUJI D421 DIGITAL-S VIDEOCASSETTES
Introducing the new Fuji D421 videocassettes for Digital-S VTR systems. Designed to meet the needs of broadcasters and video production professionals, they are produced using ultra-fine, high-output metal magnetic particles and ATOMM technology which allows the base film to be simultaneously coated with
an ultra-thin magnetic upper layer and non-magnetic bottom layer.
This new structure dramatically improves output and C/N characteristics and reduces errors while increasing reliability and durability.
The end result is a product that fully
responds to professional needs. ■

burning of a cottage during a bru- tal eviction scene and many of the locals were roped in to appear in the film after being given the Angels and Bermans’ treatment.
Shot in 35mm Cinemascope on Panavision cameras from Ardmore Studios - with anamorphic lenses kindly lent by Hugh Whittaker in London -
the 12-minute film was photographed on Fujicolor Motion Picture Negative by Malaysian cameraman Teoh Gay Hian who’d flown in from Singapore to join the production team many of whom had worked on Waller’s feature Monk Dawson.
His new short will serve
as a pilot for a feature production about the famine which he’s currently developing with
De Warrenne Pictures. ■
