The Shining

Below are pictures of the rig setup for Stanley Kubrick in order to search quickly through dailies on "The Shining". These photos were taken when the same rig was used by Dede Allen (Dede Allen appears in the photos) and Craig McKay in the editing of "REDS". Remember this was way before any of the digital editing systems were invented. The system allowed easier access to vast quantities of film without having to thread up the sound and pic rolls on the Steenbeck everytime, just to see how someone read a particular line, on a particular take.
