I'm not sure if that was a novel idea back in 1967 but I can tell you that it was present in at least half the movie sets I was on from 1997 to 2010. Companies offer an industrial air conditioner on a trailer that can be rented along with the flexible "Slinky" tubes that allow you to pump air right up to the set from 50 to 100 feet away. The set shown in the picture had all the lights under the floor and the rising heat would have been unbearable without some cooling. It also caused the bulbs to explode from time to time. But people looking at the picture assume that piping in air conditioning was indicative of the extremities of this production, but in reality is a standard piece of equipment, especially on location.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856654730691270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442605702751632257.post-79278867618600979732014-06-26T15:31:22.902+02:002014-06-26T15:31:22.902+02:00Thanks for the nice words Cristian.

I tried to find any information about it without any luck. You know something about it? Was my imagination?<br /><br />Best<br />Cristian Lorca<br />Cristian Lorcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122924297993711142noreply@blogger.com
