mikewest Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I was a BBC staff member in the Film Unit for 3 years In those days there were 40 camera and sound crews based at Ealing!!!! Seeing repeated BBC comedies etc I am surprised to realise that the sound quality is good compared with the 16mm picture quality that looks like a dirty cutting copy that has been dragged round the editing room!!!! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traut Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 There's a hilarious interview with one of the (now very old) guys who helped create the Eclair NPR, and he mentions how camera crews occasionally come by to talk to him these days about his work in the 1960s, and if they start setting up on a tripod, he's insulted and tells them to leave! Years ago I had the honor and pleasure to work with Wayne Ewing on several projects. I believe he was one of the best handheld DPs in the world. He always shot with Aatons.

Richard Munns Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 As this Doc was made for BBC4 there probably was no sound recordist. Pretty standard now for their interview/archive based docs I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
