Making Titles for Mister E

Behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the title cards for Margaret Conneely's 1960 film Mister E. First Stan Zeek (who plays the husband in Mister E) carefully handletters the signs while fellow Central Cinematographers members Conneely, Chuck Mikula, Robert Olsshon, and Mister E star Mary Ann Kuch look on. Next, Zeek films the titles with a Bolex camera from on top of a table as Kuch puts them in place. At the end, Conneely and Olsshon lift some painted glass to create a shadow effect on the final card.
