Shot List
13:31:25:28 CU Fairchild Semi-Conductor (perhaps early name for Fairchild Semiconductor) computer with hand holding sign indicating film, take, and scene number.
13:31:27:00 CU Fairchild Semi-Conductor computer switchboard with various red, yellow, white, black and metallic buttons knobs and switches on white panel mounted rack. Various buttons include: DC Test in Progress, Data Logger, Halt, Mach RDY, Data Log, Func Mode, Func Fail, Mode A and B, Count, Auto, Sampling 1:2 1:4 1:8 1:16 1:32 1:64 1:128, Power. Various buttons flash and light up.
13:31:57:28 CU hand hold in front of camera white sign indicating Fairchild Semi-Conductor, Film number 1, scene and take as in a movie clapper; hands removed to show more of machines panel from previous shot now includes a tape deck.
13:32:06:15 CU modular unit of computer machine with various red, yellow, white, black knobs and buttons, as well as metal switches on white panel mounted rack. Various buttons include: DC Test in Progress, Data Logger, Halt, Mach RDY, Data Log, Func Mode, Func Fail, Mode A and B, Count, Auto, Sampling 1:2 1:4 1:8 1:16 1:32 1:64 1:128, Power. Various buttons flash and light up.
13:32:10:16 CU panel of machine with long rows of small lights on white panel. Black type beneath lights indicate various functions such as: Current/Voltage Programming, Current/Voltage Frequencies, Test, Test Memory Lights; and each individual light is labeled by number; large white lines line bottom of module. Lights flash red in a repetitive sequence as one large white bottom flashes on bottom much like an old-fashioned sequencer would function.
13:33:19:23 Angle shot of computer machine white panel with two long lines of red buttons, the bottom of which begins with one white button. Beneath the two long rows are various switches, knobs, and buttons as well as what looks like a small tape deck. The top rows of red buttons flash on and off simultaneously as various buttons below flash in a separate pattern. Buttons flashing is rhythmically organized.
13:33:47:26 Panel of Fairchild Semi-Conductor machine with various modular parts including small screen imaging waves in blue light. Two cable are plugged in bottom left corner of device; each panel has various switches and knobs. Machine resembles modular synthesizer and each module appears to be a filter.
13:33:55:24 CU panel of machine with long rows of small lights on white panel. Black type beneath lights indicate various functions such as: Current/Voltage Programming, Current/Voltage Frequencies, Test, Test Memory Lights; and each individual light is labeled by number; large white lines line bottom of module. Lights flash red in a repetitive sequence as one large white bottom flashes on bottom much like an old-fashioned sequencer would function.
13:34:08:26 Scope screen of machine by Fairchild Semi-Conductor shows square wave; knobs on right of screen indicate Intensity and Scale.
