[QuadList] Restored Apollo 11 video, Lunar Orbiter Photo Recovery in LA at The Reel Thing XXII

[Ted Langdell]

There's now Quad-recorded material to be seen this month in Los Angeles!

A special two-day edition of The Reel Thing technical symposium will be
held in Los Angeles on Friday & Saturday, August 21-22, 2009 at
the Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood.

Some familiar names will be presenting the "What and How" of at least  
three things that have been discussed here.

Reclaiming the ‘Lost’ Lunar Orbiter Survey Photos and TYPE A Videotape  
and THE EVERLY BROTHERS, with Wideband Video Labs' Al Sturm (formerly  
of Merlin Engineering Works) on both topics, with Ralph Sargent of  
Film Technology and Al on the Type A presentation.

The BIG news is, Restoration of the Apollo 11 EVA Footage has just  
added to the program:
During the presentation, Michael Inchalik of Lowry Digita Images will  
outline the system used to capture the extravehicular activity on  
video during Apollo 11 will be reviewed as well as the process for  
broadcasting those first live pictures from the moon.

NASA's search for the original telemetry tapes which recorded the feed  
from the moon, and the best surviving elements will also be profiled.   
A discussion will ensue about the technical and philosophical factors  
that are guiding the restoration project itself, and how these new  
restoration capabilities may apply to other genres of moving images.

Finally, before and after sequences of images from the ongoing  
restoration project will be screened in HD resolution.

There's quite a bit more to see, hear and learn. See the entire  
program listing:
