Gaffer Tape
A roll of inexpensive 3/4-inch masking tape is essential on
any location, but for the important jobs like taping a light
to a wall you should use professional gaffer's tape. 2" wide,
silver surface, cloth adhesive tape (by Lowel).

Light Diffusion, Reflection, and
Control Media
Light control media include an enormous range of relatively
inexpensive materials — sheets of colored gelatin or vinyl,
thin aluminized polyesters, spun glass fabrics, etc. — that
change the color temperature of, or reflect or diffuse, light
sources. An important example is a red filter material that
mounts over window glass and converts the outdoor day-
light into the color temperature of a tungsten light source,
allowing you to film indoors with tungsten lights, plus the
window light. This is a giant roll of the same Type A-85
filter that's inside every Super 8 camera for filming out-
doors with Super 8 film, which is balanced for indoor tung-
sten illumination. A large roll of ROSCO Cine 85 is one of
the best lighting investments a Super 8 filmmaker can make.
Super8 Sound carries the ROSCO line of light control media,
and there is not enough space here to list even the most im-
portant items. Send for a ROSCO catalog; Super 8 Sound
can supply any ROSCO materials, generally on a special
order basis.

Microphones
We have had excellent results with the new electret condenser
microphones. They can be wired through many feet of exten-
sion cable without loss of high frequencies. The cardioid
microphones are highly directional, cancelling sounds from
the rear by 22dB at 1HKz, which is comparable to older
"shotgun" mics. They react very little to rubbing and me-
chanical shock compared to dynamics. The only slight draw-
back is that the electrets tend to be less sensitive than the
poorer quality dynamic microphones.
SONY ECM-16
The tiny SONY ECM-16 tieclip microphone is a perfect mic
for hiding on a set, or wearing as a lavalier mic. Frequency
response, 50-13,000Hz; Output impedance, 250 ohms±20%
unbalanced; Output level, —57dB; Cable length, 7 feet; M ini-
phone plug; Omnidirectional.
