Tech Ops in the 1980s

I have this video entitled BBC TV Centre 1980s. It isn’t just Television Centre (TVC) but also shows Elstree and TV Theatreā€¦

I posted this on Facebook. 
[Ed: and it is shown here for convenience]

It was produced (by myself at John Barlow’s request) to promote the camera department at various career events and so on.

A portable camera (DV perhaps?) was passed around various cameramen asking them to cover shows. A talkback recording was made on some of them. A few specially staged shots were added and the Link 125 animation was made by one cameraman and his friend in VT.

The whole lot was edited over a weekend at Wood Norton.

Derek Lambourne composed the music.

It is a treat!  Well after my time, of course, although there is Ron Green shown there, Senior Cameraman on my last crew day at the Beeb!
