"The inside story of the U.S. government's top secret Hollywood film studio."
This was recorded off a VHS tape copyright 1998 Visual Concept Entertainment.
Copied from rear of sleeve:
"The amazing story of the government filmmakers who documented America's incredible nuclear bomb tests.
Produced by Peter Kuran, the award-winning creator of 'Trinity and Beyond: the Atomic Bomb Movie' and renowned special effects filmmaker, this extraordinary documentary chronicles the top secret film studio that for over twenty years photographed over three hundred nuclear weapons tests. Their work is among the most spectacular ever captured on film. From the Nevada desert to remote Pacific atolls to outer space, the Atomic filmmakers developed advanced techniques and methods to create their fantastic movies. They made 6.500 films and all were locked away as soon as they were watched by a handful of government officials.
With the end of the Cold War, the story of the secret film studio in the Hollywood Hills can be told. It is a story of selfless dedication to country and outstanding filmmaking that resulted in some of the most stunning images ever recorded. Many of their most amazing images are featured in this fascinating production. The Atomic Filmmakers created a visual legacy that will be studied for years to come and will serve as an important reference for one of the most dangerous times in world history."
