[QuadList] How to Edit--resending Park's attachment--didn't come through on my end.

In the UK we did tend to hang onto the practice of film for outdoor inserts
ENG was restricted to news

I think at the time there were problems that ENG was not studio quality
But was OK for news because it was better than the fast processed pos film
that it replaced

This was not the case for full blown production were neg film was used

The general feeling now is that film inserts into studio productions do Jar
a little on the cuts
You can get away with it on sitcom, but drama you are more sucked into, and
the cuts do hurt

The ITV company I worked for was very keen on solving this problem and set
up a two camera OB truck
With a Quad VT (TR61) in the same truck 

Not easy to work next to racks guys they keep turning the lights off
So you cannot see the mechanical tape counter to log takes on the paperwork
Or work the waveform monitor, and if you have to adjust any of presets on
the modules ............... 

OK for them they just put their hands on the Joysticks and watch monitors

Happy Days

Tony,

I had seen this film in the past and surmised that the production was  
shot on 16mm (?) as portable video gear was difficult to obtain  
(usually) at that time. When the station I originally worked for while  
in college (KERA TV in Dallas) introduced the Monty Python series to  
the American audience in 1974-75, I was surprised that all of the  
location material in and around the UK was film, as this was the  
beginning of the "electronic news gathering" (ENG) era. But the film  
transfers looked superior to anything I had seen in the states. Later  
I surmised it was both the 625 PAL system with no 3:2 pull down issues  
coupled with Rank Flying Spot Scanners, something which was in limited  
use here. Compared to the 3V and 4V film chains here in the states,  
the color and clarity was superior. So, may I conclude that the UK  
production people stayed with film acquisition longer than in the  
states for these reasons?
