[QuadList] What's wrong with this ad contest

[Bill Carpenter]

Hi Folks, 


The hard shadows, with the "forced lighting" looks very bad, from a quality standpoint!

I introduced the concept of feeding an external signal to the monitoring in the photo shoots and allowing Hudson Edwards, our best photographer to set up the levels so they looked right on the 4" x 5" Extachrome film, in the view camera we used for major product shots.

 
Bye for now, Bill & Gewyn & Ginger (whoof...whoof)

The kit was introduced at the 1966 NAB.  

There are two other potential issues... Neither the video tracking or audio meters show any deflection.

One would assume that if truly in Play and reproducing a picture, that at least the video meter would show some deflection.
