    Training films like this. Pure gold. Really going into proper detail and not just flashy visuals.

    Having being in VT at the BBC in the 80s, this gives an insight into the quality of the training everyone got as staff . All chucked away in the Birt era...

    Wonderful to see this. I always dreamed of working as a BBC cameraman (didn’t happen sadly) but never lost the thirst to know everything about tv production and cameras in particular.
    The artistry the camera operators achieved with these huge units in the 70’s and 80’s never ceases to amaze me. Sadly a lost skill these days.

    thanks for posting these videos - I imagine the BBC and other people have more technical and training videos just gathering dust - I wish they'd show them here!

    You realise that one of Alan's colleagues is using what's probably an identical camera to film _him._ You can see all the types of shot being discussed actually in practice.

      www.youtube.com/@bewilderbeestie - Never put a camera person in front of the camera and give them a script ...But as this was the BBC Alan did well.

    When I worked with these big cameras in the studio on air, we had camera assistants that took care of the cables.....

    Thank you very much for this trip down memory lane. But I am working with much smaller cameras today!

    Nobody could explain why those cameras were so crazy big at that time. Only a few years later, Ikegami showed with their Unicam system that this is possible.

    I worked as a studio engineer at tv centre in the late 80’s. I only ever worked with the Link cameras and they were beasts and somewhat unreliable.

      Wood Norton Studio A had 3 x Link 110s in 1982 (I was there in '81) though there was one EMI 2001 used for line up practice which I believe is still there as a museum piece@@AdamWood

    Is it a black and white viewfinder?
    You should always calibrate your viewfinder with a color bar or a contrast card, and not to "your personal taste"!

    Can anybody bring insight into the unique coloured burn-in artefacts on overexposed or bright objects? In this training video I see a bright blue, but I've also seen other footage that was either magenta or green?

  • @jourwalis-8875

    On "our" cameras we had two handles, one for zoom and the other for focus.

    6:18 looks like clogged video heads. Was this intended in the presentation?

      I expect this was actually recorded sometime in the 70s.

      They could make a serious dent in the store room ceilings if a ped wasn’t properly locked before a camera was unmounted
