When we interviewed retired BBC film crews as part of our research project, they told a wonderful story about the Queen's genuine knowledge and expertise in film and photography https://t.co/pqzyvK9p28

MAJOR NEWS

We spent the last five years filming historical television production processes - from cutting 16mm docs on a Steenbeck, to Betacam and the Avid.

And now it's all on YouTube, free forever for viewing and reuse: https://t.co/apFpu9qdMV

Though our core research is finished, there's more to come: we've some exciting new projects up our sleeve.

We hope that you enjoy the fruits of our work, and we hope that it helps to shed some light on some of the hidden professions of television production.

Great watch for any Quantel Paintbox fans.

There's about an hour of footage here where the Paintbox (90s era) V-Series is being demonstrated, as well as some nice reenactments by the original Editors, Directors, Engineers.

OB van, U-Matic, VT, and AVID editing etc. etc. ;)

@KeMaddigan Commissioners still see #socialtv as an add-on rather than a necessity or source of significant value. Need to change the conversation at this level.

[ADAPT TV History @adaptTV]

"Short form" in TV is "long form" in #SocialTV! Trends are moving towards longer content and TV can take advantage of this. @davidlevin123 Producers also successfully partnering with brands to pitch socially-driven, ad-funded programming.

[ADAPT TV History @adaptTV]

#SocialTV where are the opportunities for social when TV is "always on"? @KeMaddigan producers increasingly need to think of shows as brands - young audiences want to be part of something all the time. But this is a big change to make.
