The location for this film is the western end of Hampstead
Heath in London. Two cameras mounted on tripods with wind vane
attachments were positioned about 50 feet apart along an axis
of 45 degrees to the direction of the wind. Both cameras were
free to pan through 360 degrees in the horizontal plane. There
are three continuous 100 foot takes for each screen. The movements
of the two cameras, which were filming simultaneously, were controlled
by the wind strength and direction. The sound was recorded synchronously
with the picture track and consists mainly of wind noise. Each
screen has its own soundtrack when projected. |
