Great color footage of 1950s laboratories, concentrating on the equipment. Some great shots of colorful bubblingl iquids in beakers and test tubs. Nice shots of equipment, dials, knobs. Scientists at work in lab, white lab coats and more. Very stereotypical stuff. Great.
CU of a pile of white powder on a black table top. Slightly low angle MCU of doctor's hands amidst colorful beakers tilted at different angles, pouring white powder into clear glass tube. CU scientist's hands placing metal weight on string into glass cylinder. Woman's hand lowers pipette into test tube of amber liquid. Hands making adjustment to complicated glass and rubber tube contraption - colorful beakers in background - some boiling. CU hand stirs beaker on burner, adding liquid from a cylinder steam floats up from below. Man making adjustments to gas flames behind a brick wall; a blast furnace or something. Hands take notes in pad, from seismograph (or some other scale).
Fade up on MS laboratory , scientists at work over countertops. CU hands attatching beaker to frame, says "X" on it. MS scientist from behind as he lights burner -big orange flame shoots up. White coated scientist sits at large green table, holding up small metal samples.
Great CU backlit test tubes sitting in a rack. CU test tube in rack.
ECU of tube filled with red liquid and particulate. The tube is tipped and teh particles move. Similar shot with orange liquid in tube.
MS OTS shot of man at controls of large, grey peice of electronic equipment (could be test or measuring equipment), adjusting controls, looking at dials, meters.
ECU pink liquid (what is this?) rushing past camera.
MS scientist filling bottle with brown liquid. CU of two bottles filled with this liquid. Scientist puts pieces of metal in them.
The MS of large beaker with bubbly amber liquid which is backlit against a black background - it's amazing - like it's floating in space. Cam zooms into it focuses on tiny particulates rising o the top of the glass.
ECU hands filling syringe from flask. CU hand squirting contents of syringe into beaker.
