Période

Inconnu

Canada

Owned and used by Canadian film maker Bill Mason, who achieved international recognition for his wilderness and canoeing documentaries in the 1960s and 1970s.

Fonction

To hold and advance two or more lengths of film together to maintain frame-by-frame correspondence.

Technique

The Bill Mason collection consists of typical cameras and other equipment in the 16 mm format widely used by documentary film makers in Canada in this period. This synchronizer by Mason to edit sound tracks to match the image. Its four sprockets accommodate the image film and three sound track films. A moveable magnetic sound head can be connected to a tape recorder to listen to one sound track at a time. Mason rarely recorded sound in synchronization with the camera action. Instead he recorded ambient audio, or “wild sound,” on location and synchronized it with the image, music and narration in post production.
