FTHE ENVIRONMENT
ujifilm has always paid particu- lar attention to the effect its manufacturing operations have on the environment. At the Ashigara factory all water used
in manufacturing is extensively puri- fied before being returned to the river. The purified water outflow is passed through a series of tanks that house large numbers of Koy Carp. The under- lying philosophy is ‘If the Carp are healthy, the factory is healthy’.
OKEY INNOVATIONS
ver the years Fujifilm has interdicted key innovative camera films to the motion picture market, including a high speed reversal film for TV
in 1974 (RT-400) and the worlds first high quality low speed daylight nega- tive film - the F-64D in 1988.
However the most important of these for the cinematographer was the introduction of the original Fujicolor A250 high speed negative film in 1980. At a time when the general philosophy in the industry was that for colour, one speed of negative film was sufficient for all purposes; A250 bucked the trend and immediately offered a number of advantages to the cinematographer.
Firstly, lower-light cinematography was possible, but also lighting in a given situation could be reduced, therefore offering a significant reduc- tion in production costs. Fujifilm did not replace the earlier stock with A250 but chose to run it alongside the exist- ing 100 speed negative film. In this way, the cameraman had a choice of stocks for different shooting situations.
The first European production to use Fujicolor A250 was Wolfgang Petersen’s Das Boot (DP: Jost Vacano), filmed by Bavaria Radiant Productions and com- pleted in 1981. Another early user of A250 film was the French production Le Dernier Metro (DP: Nestor Almendros), directed by Francois Truffaut.
The Fuji Photo Film Company was honoured for its innovation in 1981 by being presented with the Academy Award of Merit - popularly known as a ‘Technical Oscar’ - for its “research development and introduction of a new ultra-high speed colour negative film for motion pictures.” ■
