A video about a mediocre scanner
Very quick update. Managed to find time to get this shambolic video knocked together - it's not a classic, so feel free to skip it knowing that you really didn't miss anything exciting. I'll get working on something more substantial ASAP.
With a build up like this - I should be in advertising.

Ok, just watched the CTS fillum on me telly! Great stuff...When we did "Those Magnificent Men..." every percussionist in London was standing with their backs to the screen playing swanee whistles etc...and when we did "Help"..I made a twit of myself by suggesting to Dick Lester that he should get rid of the Indian sitar players and get Jeff Beck in instead, playing slide.Ouch!...Oh, and the intials J.C. on the box would be Jack Clegg...he later went off to George Martin's AIR studios at Oxford Circus. Keep up the good work...my head is just filling up with amazing memories...
No, but I'm going to watch it now...here's a link to J.J.'s obituary...<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-johnny-johnston-1164345.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-johnny-johnston-1164345.html</a>
Wow! I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that tape box..between 1964 and 1969 I worked next door to CTS at Zenith Films!!!. I used to help out on film score music sessions in CTS...I ran the click track projector, while Sid Davies ran the main image...I was present for "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines", "Help", "What's New Pussycat", "The Loved One" among others,and many TV series. What memories this has stirred...oh, and J.J. Jingles would be Johnny Johnson, who used to own CTS. He was a fabulous, larger than life bloke, who drove an Alvis.
I guess you've also seen my video about the CTS master tape now as well.
I remember having a handheld scanner in the 90's... it was grayscale, connected via SCSI, and would angrily beep at you if you scanned too quickly. Although even if you scanned slowly, all your scans ended up ever-so-slightly warbly. I guess the technology has gotten better since those days.
Yes I had that desk too haha. I bought a separate scanner as I found my 3in1 to be poor quality. It think it was only 550dpi Max(could be less). Separate one is closer to the 1080dpi. I do like the machine you used to copy the sound off your tape reel. Very cool device.
Yes the Sony MV1 - it's been very useful, I've used it in a lot of other videos to do pieces to camera in the car. Here's the review <a href="https://youtu.be/HqYkiyLux4c" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/HqYkiyLux4c</a>
I find some decent scanners have that same problem with the line in the middle of the pic. Still a cool little device for €60.
I had no idea - I'm not familiar with scanners.It was one of those things that everyone had a one point - a PC, a printer, a scanner and a nice light wood effect computer desk with room for 10 CDs
