00:00:01.340 - 00:00:24.830

Yeah. Yeah, This is Control Room, a studio A at the new Kpi X Studios on Van Ness Avenue at the corner of Greenwich. We've taken you behind the scenes to see how a program is produced. This is actually on the air. The program is Ladies Day

00:00:24.830 - 00:00:41.460

with Lee, a new program that comes your way on Channel five Monday through Friday at 11. 30 in the morning. This is the audio or sound portion, and now we're going to let you swing across and see how the silhouettes of the engineers look. Actually, you're

00:00:41.460 - 00:00:55.050

only seeing the backs of their head. We're going to eavesdrop on the director as he gives the cues. We're going to let you see the actual monitors, which he uses, and in addition, we'll see how the show looks in person. Get the extra chairs out of

00:00:55.050 - 00:01:21.420

there, or do you need them? The director is Fred Cadet, and he is talking by inter communication to the men inside the studio on the floor. Let's listen one now, When take Woman was indicated by the director camera number one took the shot or the picture

00:01:21.420 - 00:01:40.020

that he wished around the air. The little light that flickers above the monitors on the upper right hand corner. The monitors being the screens indicates which one goes on the air. Which pictures going on the air, fans. Oh, woman, how are you? Dead and gone. Hey,

00:01:40.020 - 00:01:55.320

we Hello. Down under 18, Take two. Now it takes to the other monitor on the right hand side of your screen went into action and as the left hand monitor is free, then he can switch lenses on a camera And now we'll take a look in

00:01:55.320 - 00:02:13.590

the actual studio itself and see how it looks. And there is what you see. A relaxed Decide your commercial and you're going to have the dollar in on this as a director and television must have about four pairs of eyes. His brain must function at the

00:02:13.590 - 00:02:34.200

same time in maybe five directions. Take one or take two indicates which camera is to be put on the air. And your problem, Martin or the people of all religions Catholic. Right now let's listen to a little bit to the euro show itself Studio. That's right.

00:02:34.200 - 00:02:45.940

Tomorrow is the formula for tomorrow night's big show. By the way, you're going to be here for that? Certainly. All right, well, we understand it's going to be better than this one, but we're not too sure about it. That is correct. Tomorrow night at 8 30

00:02:46.090 - 00:03:01.970

you will see our big mammoth hour long show, which dedicates the new studios don't have to be the one, but if you can imagine, the man on a pedestal is handling what is known as a microphone boom in television, as in the motion picture studios microphones,

00:03:01.970 - 00:03:20.780

wherever possible or not included in the picture. Therefore, the man with this very intricate boom can maneuver the microphone in and out and, in addition to that, can turn it to pick up the conversation that's being handled. These are old fashioned proverbs, and the fellow that

00:03:20.780 - 00:03:34.730

Mrs First has to get up and leave. He's got an empty chair is that right now it's more. Let's eavesdrop on the director himself. A bad penny always comes home. Yeah, it always comes back. That's good. A barking dog. That's right, A bird in the hand

00:03:34.730 - 00:03:55.540

of Take one boy. That's right, man. Jack. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Take Scott. Take the chain is no stronger than the weakest link. Right? Actions speak louder than take one fan, Jack. A little villages. Uh huh. A dangerous wearing a jacket at night, their

00:03:55.650 - 00:04:11.860

way there You have an indication of what the director has to go through. Actually, just multiply this by several times, as in the case of special events, sports, or perhaps the Japanese peace treaty that you might have seen in your screen where in half a dozen

00:04:11.860 - 00:04:29.390

cameras were used, the director has to control all of these. Each camera has four lenses and therefore many, many multiple combination as possible. It's quite a business, but this is how it looks behind the scenes. There's nothing like this. Most of the time it's been raining

00:04:29.390 - 00:04:44.740

for months and months ago. Where were we have done to you, Dan? All spare and what 12 and war? That's right. All's well, that and as well. All right, All that glitters is not gold. All work and no play makes this one Johnny a dull boy.

00:04:44.920 - 00:05:08.990

Well, it makes Jack. I mean, makes jacket. Yeah, all right. A little pop is uh huh. A lot of men behind the scenes go on to make every television program cameramen men that are on the floor and called floor men with phones from the director to

00:05:08.990 - 00:05:34.390

help manipulate the sets. Get people in and out microphone boom handlers as well as the talent, the performers, producers, the writers and you could go on and on and on. But part of the politics, the director must at all times not only listen to what is

00:05:34.390 - 00:05:56.630

going on the air, but as well be concerned with the next item coming up on the schedule. He has a script, of course. Or a format as the case may be. He has to get ready for what is happening. Oh, guys, you know, we're talking to

00:05:56.630 - 00:06:18.160

these men about televisions. They felt time for television. Now let's look once again at the monitors. In this case, two cameras are venue. So you see two monitors. The one on the right hand at the moment with the heroes seated is going out on the air

00:06:18.240 - 00:06:54.370

on the left. Is Betty Wing Junior ready for her part in the show? Okay, Sergeant Mike, business started start. You Betty started talking. That is what was called a dissolve. A dissolve, of course, means the super imposition of one over the other one picture over the

00:06:54.370 - 00:07:14.910

other, and gradually one has faded out as the other is brought in. So novel techniques ideas are used. Of course, scenery is built, flat, are created, the background drops and so forth. Everything must be planned out, of course, to the second, because, like radio, it has

00:07:14.910 - 00:07:31.180

to go off on time on the nose as it is caught the signal being pointing at the nose, meaning that everything was timed out accurately. But this, we hope, has been a little indication to you of how it looks behind the scenes at Studio A, the

00:07:31.180 - 00:07:51.230

new Kpi X Studios on Bonus Avenue at the corner of Greenwich Streets in San Francisco. You can go to each off. Any push in your body definitely equals, actually, standing down 500 times. You know, when we stand up straight and bent over and catch our case,

00:07:51.240 - 00:08:11.300

1200 equal our relaxing. We want you to look into this new invention right away. You'll find it advertised in the leading to give you an idea of more of it. In this room is the sound portion, which is completely removed from what is called the video

00:08:11.310 - 00:08:30.930

or picture portion. Turntables play transcriptions for special effects, transcribed sound effects and that sort of thing. The engineer. The streets here controls the boom microphones. Since the microphones are high above the head instead of being held in the hand like they are on radio, it takes

00:08:30.940 - 00:08:41.560

a good deal of technical engineering. It's quite a setup indeed. Well, we'll see you again next week on Tele trips. Goodnight 61
