Keep your friends close....
On March 22nd 1971, Hardwick Johnson, George Harris, and the staff at Camera Service Center loaded a CineMobile location truck waiting on W54th Street in Manhattan for a film they would never forget. The First Assistant Camera Tibor Sands had tested the equipment and helped load the camera package that included a BNC blimp and a full set of Super Baltar Prime Lenses.
It was now headed to the first location on Fifth Avenue for Director of Photography Gordon Willis ASC and Camera Operator Michael Chapman ASC. Over the next few months of principal photography ,"The Godfather" was to make cinematography history.
Two years later history was repeated when a similar camera package with an additional set of Kowa Prime Lenses left CSC for the film's sequel, The Godfather Part II. This time the Main Unit included Camera Operator Ralph Gerling and First Assistant Camera William Gereghty, with Tibor Sands handling the famous Cuban revolution sequence.
Almost forty years after that first check out Hardwrick Johnson and George Harris - both of whom still work at ARRI CSC - were reunited with Tibor Sands to sign original posters for both films, now proudly on display at ARRI CSC's camera rental facility in Secaucus, New Jersey.
