Fouad Said (r.) and Sheldon Leonard scouting locations for "I Spy" in Hong Kong

When Sheldon Leonard decided to film his Robert Culp-Bill Cosby starrer "I Spy" entirely on distant (non-USA) locations (1965), he went to cameraman Fouad Said and had him design a completely self-contained vehicle that would hold not only the cameras and film, but the sound, grip, and electrical equipment as well -- something they could load up, lock, and literally ship to anywhere on the globe with reasonable ease. From this came the first Cinemobile -- a small, panel truck sized vehicle that was used to shoot nearly all of that successful TV series. After that, Said took the idea and ran.  Scientific or Technical Awards (Class II) 1969 - For the design and introduction of the Cinemobile series of equipment trucks for location motion picture production. 1 Scientific/Technical Award
