PR. Tail, Orig. 5247. WO# 58652 A.F.I. "Boblo" Rolls 1-3, 5-10-85
Silent color 35mm film reel containing footage shot for Boblo Island promotional purposes. The footage features several shots of the roller coaster The Screamer, followed by a brief shot of children playing in the ball pit in the Fort Fun area.
After some brief initial shots, the camera captures a clapboard from the front seat of the Screamer, marked "Scene 101, Take 1; Prod. AFI #524; Dir/Cam Randall; Roll 1; 5-9-85." Footage follows shot from the front car of the roller coaster during a single ride around the tracks.
The crew then slates take one of Scene 101A, now with the camera turned around on a boy and girl riding together in one of the Screamer's cars. Five more takes follow.
After take six, the camera begins to capture shots of the passing roller coaster cars from the stairs at the top of its first hill, and from various points on the ground below. One of those shots is slated as "Scene 101D, Take 1."
The final portion of the film is devoted to a single shot of a group of children playing in Fort Fun's ball pit.
The film is on a yellow plastic core, housed inside of a white box labeled, "AAA-22, H.P. 2946 Doner, Boblo, OCN. W.O.# 58652 5/10/85, A.F.I. Prod.# 524, 'Boblo,' Orig. 5247 R#1 (Rolls 1-3). 1 < 66067, 70163."
