Synopsis

This short film showcases the entrances of various Hollywood studios, with a specific focus on Warner Bros. / First National Studios. The film begins at the casting office, followed by scenes of Busby Berkeley and choreographer Bobby Connolly working with chorus girls on production numbers. It then features candid footage of several contract stars. The film also captures comedian Hugh Herbert filming a scene for an upcoming release, as well as the behind-the-scenes process that transforms the raw film from the camera into the finished product.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
