Period

Purchased by R. Massey Williams (1901-1968) c. 1930 to document a 17-month prospecting expedition to the Ungava Bay region of Northern Quebec (now Nunavik) in 1930-31. Footage was used to produce the film On to Ungava (LAC ISN 100780), Williams’ first film. Williams also used the camera to make five subsequent films between 1933 and 1938, documenting gold prospecting and mining operations in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and eastern USA. Taken together, these films represent an interesting application of 16mm amateur cinema technology in the 1930s, particularly (in the case of On to Ungava) in a Northern Canadian/Arctic context. Acheté par R. Massey Williams (1901-1968) c. 1930 pour documenter une expédition de prospection de 17 mois dans la région de la Baie d'Unagava dans le nord du Québec (présentement Nunavik) en 1930-31. Les images ont été utilisées pour produire le film "On to Ungava", le premier film réalisé par Williams. Williams a aussi utilisé cette caméra pour faire cinq autres films entre 1933 et 1938, en documentant des opérations minières en Ontario, Québec, Colombie-Britannique et l'est des États-Unis. Ces films représente l'utilisation de la technologie de cinéma amateur des années 1930, spécifiquement dans le contexte Canadien et arctique en ce qui concerne "On to Ungava".
Function
To protect and carry a camera while not in use or during travel. Pour protéger et transporter la caméra.
Technical
The Cine-Kodak Model B was an update to the Cine-Kodak (retroactively named the Model A). The Model A, introduced by Kodak in 1923, was the first 16mm camera. The 16mm film format was thinner and more affordable than the existing 35mm standard; it was also more compact and lightweight, making it ideal for amateur filmmaking. The technical significance of the Model B is that it included a spring-driven motor. This meant that, unlike the Model A, it did not require hand-cranking – or the use of a tripod – during filming. This made the Model B more easily transportable and convenient to use, particularly in mobile environments. Le Modèle B Cine-Kodak était une mise à jour sur le Cine-Kodak (Modèle A) Le Modèle A, introduit par Kodak en 1923, était la première caméra 16mm. Le film 16mm était plus mince et abordable que le film existant 35mm standard. Il était aussi plus compacte et léger, ce qui est idéal pour la réalisation des films amateurs. L'importance du Modèle B est qu'il inclue un moteur à ressort. Ceci faisait en sorte, au contraire du Modèle A, que la caméra n'avait pas besoin de manivelle ou l'utilisation de trépied. Ceci a fait que le Modèle B était plus efficace et convenable à utiliser, particulièrement dans des environnements mobile.
