Finding Not asserted
Not asserted: the record does not name the creating body; its local identifier places it in NARA record group 111 (Office of the Chief Signal Officer, Army Signal Corps), a federal agency's records, which is evidence of federal origin but not proof of authorship, since agencies also filed acquired and captured footage.
The record does not name a federal creating body, or names one alongside a private producer, a state body or a government corporation. Such a film may well be a government work, but this registry only says so when the record does.

National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569616 / Local Identifier 111-TV-347 Big Picture: Pictorial Report Number 24 DVD Copied by Katie Filbert. "THE BIG PICTURE" pays visit to "The Chaplain School" followed by telementary on preventative medicine -- This week's TV film presentation in THE BIG PICTURE series covers training and activity of "The Chaplain School" at Fort Slocum, N.Y. Here is the only school of its kind in the world where "Soldiers of God" train and prepare themselves for a spiritual mission of answering to the religious and moral needs of men of the United States Army -- wherever they are stationed, wherever they may be called. At the Chaplain School it is assumed that the student is fully prepared by his church for his religious duties. As the camera moves in for close-up scenes, television viewers will better understand the effort concentrated to help chaplains to supplement their religious training with the knowledge and understanding of their future military pastorate. For a second story on this pictorial report, Signal Corps cameramen traveled to another part of the world, over six thousand miles away, on a small rocky island. Here men are seen in combat; men fighting an invisible enemy -- disease. On the island of Okinawa "Keystone of the Pacific," a preventive medicine team, joins with other medical facilities provided by the Army to make the American fighting men the best cared for soldier in military history.
