Abstract
Artificial lighting on outdoor motion picture sets is essential for both day and night photography. In most cases an electrical distribution system is not available at the selected location, and power must be supplied by electric generators driven by internal-combustion engines. Because standard, commercially available, engine-generator sets are not suitable for the special performance requirements encountered in motion picture photography it is necessary to design and construct special equipment having the required features. This paper describes and evaluates the engineering factors involved, and illustrates how each of the desired characteristics was attained in equipment recently constructed.
