Posted Mar 31, 2006 by (TonsilRevenge) My adulthood is in remission
I just want to highlight the oddness of the confluence of the two technologies.
Were the Beatles short films to the tune of their singles distributed to the television studios on film, a la sixteen millimeter, or reel to reel video tape? From what little I've seen of the clips, I would say they were shot on film, as video cameras of the time were pretty close to useless and did not do colour outside with any fidelity.
I would guess that a 35 millimeter camera was used for the actual shoot and then duped down to 16.
The confusion between video and film has always irritated me.
I have acquaintances at this late date who have no idea that the difference is that you can hold one up to the light and actually see the image and that you can rerecord over the other one...
The problem is compounded today by the existence of DVD films and video DVDs and CD Rom video.... As well as the existence of digital film cartridges...
