od do ins Gallagher garners second Emmy award The Dallas Post David Copperfield lS again the charm for Dallas native "' By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff DALLAS - It's a long way from The Dallas Post to the Emmy awards, but Dallas native Neal Gallagher has made the trip for a @:ccond time. Last weekend Gallagher, a free- lance movie cameraman now liv- ingsin Orlando, FL, received his second Emmy award in two years, for- outstanding individual achievement in technical direc- tion and video for his work on the David Copperfield special “Unex- plained Forces,” which aired in May: Copperfield seems to be Gal- Iagher's good luck charm; he earned his first Emmy for a Cop- perfield special in 1993. A techni- cal Emmy is television's equiva- lent of an Oscar or a Pulitzer Prize, something which all cameramen aspire to, Gallagher said. “Our technical team - five camera operators, the video op- erator and the technical director — shared theaward,” Gallagher said. “We shot five shows in one week- end and combined the best shots for the broadcast.” Gallagher's job was to follow Copperfield with the camera, which can be quite a challenge. In one segment, the script called for 160 shots of the magician (closeups, full-length shots and shots of his hands or head and shoulders) during a 13-minute act, or approximately one shot every six seconds. Every shot is different. The camera must be in perfect focus at all times. “You must be well-rehearsed and pay strict attention to what's "Phone Pioneers’ brush 7 a geography lesson '“ By GRACE R.

We still have to finish up at Lake-Noxen before we go to Ross." When the maps are finished, the Bell Telephone Pioneers will give principals Charles James and Robert Kunkle instructions and bean bags for several learning games which teachers can use to help their students learn United States geography.
