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 2569712 / Local Identifier 111-TV-452 Big Picture: Look Toward Tomorrow DVD Copied by Timothy Vollmer. Story of civilian engineers and scientists told on "THE BIG PICTURE" -- "Look Toward Tomorrow" is a film designed to supplement the long-range recruitment program, set up by the Army, for civilian scientists and engineers. It is intended to help create in the public mind a climate of respect and prestige for Army science and technical work which will encourage young men and women to consider Army civil service in their future planning over the next few years. Treated from the overall point of view of the Army, "Look Toward Tomorrow" touches base with five of the technical services: Signal, Ordnance, Engineers, Chemical, and Quartermaster. This half-hour production highlights significant scientific and engineering work which has been accomplished or is being developed in the Army with emphasis on the role of the young civilian scientist and engineer.
