While things have changed a bit, the general ideas in this video are essentially the same today. This is a must see for anyone serious about their photography. For those that are new it will answer some common questions. Thanks.

Anyone have a link to this video? The original on YouTube is no longer available.

A long shot, I know, but someone may have remembered this video and its title.

I don't have that link, but my search uncovered this US Navy training film from around 1950:

Using the title of the video, I found this upload straight away. Can anyone confirm that it's the same as the one originally linked to by Polyglot? I bookmarked it at the time, but don't recall getting around to watching it.

I've just checked through old hard drive catalogues and found that I had downloaded the file from the original link (don't laugh, I only had dial up internet at the time and couldn't watch YouTube videos any other way). At any rate, I can confirm that the link below leads to the same documentary as the one linked to by Polyglot a decade ago.

Here's the link to "The Alchemist in Hollywood" newly uploaded a year ago :
