LG VCR for playback VHS signal passed through old Panasonic ES10 DVD recorder which stabilises some time-base errors and fixes some colour problems S-Video cable from ES10 fed into cheap PC capture card Capture in Virtualdub, uncompressed (HUFFYUV) to avoid compression artifacts Open captured video in Virtualdub, edit out unwanted bits, apply Neat Video 2 or 3 to reduce noise and time-base jitter, save as new .avi
Load saved video into avisynth script with the following filters : - crop - CNR2 (temporal colour noise reduction for maximum colour stability) - QTGMC (high quality 50fps deinterlace) - MergeChroma(aWarpSharp2(depth=30)) (sharpens colour, useful for smeary VHS colour)) - santiag(strh=-3, strv=3) (further suppresses time-base jitter) - Unsharp (to sharpen a bit) - spline64resize(1344,1080) (helps YT to retain what little detail there is)
I started my first job about a year before these aired and I didn't really have time for television back then. Interesting to see these all these years later.
I first heard this as the theme tune to the BBC programme ‘Hospital Watch’ with Sue Lawley back in the late 80s. Loved it then and love it now. I never knew the Composer or what it was called, but tonight, the 12th of August 2024, I’ve found it again. 😊
Russian ballet teachers were taught and prepared in Russia. Then they left their motherland and live and work in the USA. They contribute to the world ballet art.
I remember this track when I was younger and always liked it. I can't help but notice the similarities to some of daft punk's music. Perhaps these guys were some inspiration to daft punk in their early years.
