<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">That's interesting--I knew Film Tech could handle Kodacolor lenticular film; I didn't know they could also do the kines (and unfortunately I don't know enough about the two to know how different the technologies are.) I've always wondered what they look like. The NBC 50th Anniversary special in the 70s ran a color kinescope clip from the Ernie Kovacs "silent" show. Anyone know if that was a lenticular kine?<BR>

Well, I hope I am right about the Lenticular kines transfers. I will talk with those guys who dot these transfers directly next week and confirm.<BR>

This seems to be a color kine thread. Two clients came by tonight for other business but one of them brought something he had told be about a few days ago. It's a film to tape transfer made about four years ago from what is considered to be the oldest color kine in existence. Apparently done at the Colonial Theater in NYC in 1954, and talks about the recent FCC approval of RCA compatible color (has an animated rose converging into a single rose in the middle of the screen). Then, some sort of circus type set with Eddie Fisher singing a song, then to a Dinah Shore segment (introduced by a 1954 Chevy!). All in color of course. I believe this color kine print (in remarkable shape considering color fade) will go to HD soon and be cleaned up further. But, the quality is so good that one would not have known it was a color kine had it not have been for some slight strobing and flicker when one of the cameras did a fast pan. My guess is that this was some sort of RCA promotional film (color kine).<BR>

Watching this stuff just extends the work day but I enjoy it!<BR>
