<div>This footage was filmed in May 2015 in the television studio at Royal Holloway University of London in Egham, United Kingdom.</div><div><br></div><div>A team of veteran television film cameramen, electricians, and sound engineers who worked at the BBC Television Film Studios in the 1960s and 1970s recalled various aspects of their work.</div><div><br></div><div>Their memories were filmed using three Sony PMW-100 digital cameras and recorded using wireless microphones. The conversation was free-flowing with occasional questions and interventions from the ADAPT crew.</div><div><br></div><div>This video is part of a series that shows how a typical television film crew went about the task of filming footage for television during the 1960s and 1970s.</div><div><br></div><div><b>About the project</b></div><div>ADAPT (2013-8) is a European Research Council project at Royal Holloway University of London. The project studies the history of technologies in television, focussing on their everyday use in production activities.</div><div><br></div><div>ADAPT examines what technologies were adopted and why; how they worked; and how people worked with them. As well as publishing written accounts, the project carries out 'simulations' that reunite retired equipment with the people who used to use it.</div><div><br></div><div>Participants in these simulations explain how each machine worked and how different machines worked together as an 'array'; how they adapted the machines; and how they worked together as teams within the overall production process.</div><div><br></div><div>www.adaptTVhistory.org.uk</div><div>https://doi.org/10.17637/rh.c.3925603.v1</div><div><br></div>
