Viewing these ADAPT videos about the “old school” methods of creating visual content for television or other display mediums has me reminiscing about my various rolls in the same processes here in America. I look back with tremendous pride at my self-taught skills in the design, engineering and wiring these systems. The best times in my career were spent building television stations and creating content. I’m very happy these videos of the various film/videtape processes are being produced!

Very fascinating

What a wonderful educational video thank you dear people good health to you all

Superb

Old school video and post.

Do they mention at any point in the project at which frame rate the film was shot (both for this project and for the BBC in general)? I naively assumed the BBC shot film at 25 fps for a frame-accurate telecine to PAL video, but the final output video from this project is surprisingly jerky and looks more like a pulldown from 16 or 18 fps.

2:20 So he mentions this was to be done live. So they just ran stuff on film right to tv? I know in the very early days that was the only option... but why not do the 'painting' to tape then just pop that in a VTR? Was it an investment of time to great to do- or was it maybe generational loss?

So those Digital SP tapes: are they transferred as digital files to a video server archive? Which format is used (ProRes, Raw?) What about backups?

Could that kit be any older..........
