That is great stuff, Scott! Very nice.....<br>
Back in the early '80s when I had my production studio, we were
doing a car spot for a local dealer.<br>
They wanted to open with a scene with an early '50s Ford, since
that's when the dealership opened, and wanted it to look "period",
as much as possible.<br>
I had experimented with a few things along these lines before, but
put them all together in this one. We shot the scene with the
studio Marconi Mk VII, then shot that video off of an old 14" B/W
Conrac monitor that I had in the shop that had a soft CRT which
added some nice "blooming" effects, ran that video through an NEC
E-Flex and gave it a slight up and down/side to side gate weave and
keyed some scratched clear film leader over all that. This was way
before the "old film effect" was seen so much.<br>
The result was a fairly convincing approximation of a bad
kinescope. A lot of fun to do back then. I still have it on 3/4"
around here somewhere.<br>

<pre wrap="">Several years ago I made an animated open for our feature reporter's stories. Because it was the 50th Anniversary year of the station, I wanted to make it kind of a look back to that era. I modeled an old RCA television in 3D and tried to make the reporter look like he was shot with an IO camera. Wish I had more time to work on it and make it look more real, but it was still fun. I even found a Formica pattern from the era to put into the scene. :)
I should take some of my modern footage and see if I can get something close to a TK-41 look. The Canon 5D MkII has an image sensor larger than a 35mm movie camera, so that gets us closer to the shallow depth-of-field of the IO camera. The Canon just has all kinds of sampling errors, creating moiré' artifacts.

<pre wrap="">One could liken the larger tubes in the TK-41 to medium format (120, 220, 6x6mm) still film compared to smaller 35mm still film... and its electronic counterparts would be the 1.25", 1" and 2/3" Vidicons, Plumbicons and Saticons in later cameras.
Continuing that analogy, film emulsions have different reactions to light and color. I think part of the magic might be how the tubes' reacted to light in an electrophotochemical way. The tube design and photosensitive material... and size contribute to the "look."
