- Title
D. W. Griffith and Billy Bitzer Pose for a Still.
- Abstract
The article profiles the works of David Wark Griffith, film director, and Billy Bitzer, a cinematographer. According to the article, Griffith joined the Biograph Co. in 1908, which he was fortunate to come across in the studio G.W. Billy Bitzer that has been with the company since 1896 as cameraman. Griffith and Bitzer became companions, however, for twenty-one year Bitzer realized on film most of the action that Griffith directed. It says that both worked together closely that it is virtually impossible to separate their technical contributions.
