Well, I hope I am right about the Lenticular kines transfers. I will talk 
with those guys who dot these transfers directly next week and confirm.

This seems to be a color kine thread. Two clients came by tonight for other 
business but one of them brought something he had told be about a few days 
ago. It's a film to tape transfer made about four years ago from what is 
considered to be the oldest color kine in existence. Apparently done at the 
Colonial Theater in NYC in 1954, and talks about the recent FCC approval of RCA 
compatible color (has an animated rose converging into a single rose in the 
middle of the screen). Then, some sort of circus type set with Eddie Fisher 
singing a song, then to a Dinah Shore segment (introduced by a 1954 
Chevy!). All in color of course. I believe this color kine print (in remarkable 
shape considering color fade) will go to HD soon and be cleaned up further. 
But, the quality is so good that one would not have known it was a color kine 
had it not have been for some slight strobing and flicker when one of the 
cameras did a fast pan. My guess is that this was some sort of RCA promotional 
film (color kine).

Watching this stuff just extends the work day but I enjoy it!
