[Herb Sevush] “Julia’s shows were all shot on tape, no film, ever.”

Thanks for that, I had no idea what was used (never seen one myself).

I edited all her shows that she did in the 90’s and also some historical compendiums, so I have an intimate knowledge of her library.

Herb,

What I saw was B & W and definitely shot prior to the 90’s, but for B & W footage which appeared to be 50’s-70’s era, it was extremely clean and pristine in HD. Really, some of the better B & W footage I’ve seen converted to HD. Kudos to you if this was something you had a hand in.

I had no hand in it. Julia’s original show, “The French Chef” was shot at WGBH starting in 1963, I don’t remember when they went to color. The original was standard looking studio B&W, whoever did the blow up is the firm you should be saluting. Probably a quick call to WGBH, who still own the library, would settle it.

Wow, I loved reading this thread. A lot of great information.
I find it ironic that the original initiator’s question stemmed from material acquired from an on-board i sight camera.
I love Creative Cow!!

“[Walter Graff] “It’s basically a pulldown”

[Oliver Peters] “Hmm…. Not sure I would say that. Again, “pulldown” implies doubling and that’s not the case.”

I’ll just jump in to state that I’ve always lamented the vague uses of the term “pulldown”, which is interchangeably used to describe the doubling (and attendant cadence) of fields (and frames), and also a speed variation (and often both).

Post production does seem to collect many half-understood and poorly labelled concepts and terms which get perpetuated …
