Remember the days of the A/V (audio-visual) or Tape/Slide programme? We used to produce these at in the early 80s for showing to the reps at sales conferences. Every picture was shot as a 35mm slide and these were placed in Kodak carousel projectors which were pulse-linked to a tape recorder. The main body of this particular offering was produced as such while the 'movie' sections at either end were shot on a bloody huge VHS camera - and the quality was shite! If only we'd had computers back then; things would've been so much easier using Final Cut or some such app. I found the old VHS of this at the back of a very deep, dark cupboard and having digitised it, tweaked it slightly adding the dissolves between live action and AV (unheard of back then but oh-so-easy now). I offer it up (in all it's Letrasetted glory) in memory of those bygone days at Pan Books.
