Film Storage Can from the William S. Hart Company

The flammable nitrate film used by the film industry before 1950 necessitated keeping films in fire-proof containers when it was not in use. The William S. Hart studio was located in a triangular: shaped building at Bates and Effie Streets in East, Hollywood. First built as the Mabel Normand Studio in 1916, and heavily modified by Hart and other tenants over the years, the studio still stands and is used for shooting music videos and commercials.

1910s Mercury Tube Lamp

This early form of film lighting was arranged in large banks or rows directly overhead a film set or was angled slightly for front - lighting. These units produced a flat, undifferentiated flow of light that was designated to mimic the effect of a medium-sized window or skylight. The light given off by these lamps was very rich in the blue and ultraviolet end of the spectrum, and almost absent at the red end, which was helpful in rendering with the photosensitive properties of the orthochromatic film negative in use at the time.
