Title: Re-wind the 60s programme
Post by Mikej on Nov 15^th, 2010, 11:19am

If you can be around at 9 in the morning, try to catch a few seconds of a
"re-wind the 60s" show on BBC1 all this week
It is lit like we were shown how to do a "white-out" at WN
The whole studio is white, the levels are so bright, it almost burns out the
PSUs in the Tele EHT supply and the presenter (Lulu would you believe -
hardly looking any older) and guests all wore white.
As a result it is a blank screen with just a few faces, bits of blue under
the shadow of the seats and some props hanging from the ceiling showing.

UGH!!!

I know the Producers/Director tell the LD what to do but the poor guy must go home crying

A few nice shots of old studio bits and cameras though
