I have the Betacam master of Ted's Day In the Life....

It was entrusted to me by the guy who shot it, whose name I do not want to misspell here.

I just happen to check this forum, following a Reduser link, and saw this thread today.

Then I ran into John Ryan at Focus Optics (where I am engineering their Ruby 14-24 zoom), and he recommended a post house that could dub this for me.

I will talk to a couple of people (Paul Taylor, Dan Kneece) about distributing it.

A few of you (old timers) know me, but for the vast majority of you, I was the project engineer on Steadicam 3, 3A and the first EFP (and the bag for the JR). I can't remember what I did on the Ultra (nobody else can either).

I think I hold the record of being let go by Ed DiG. in three different decades.

This Day In the Life.... is not so much about operating, as it is about who gets the butterscotch pudding from craft service first, and other important tips on being a good operator.

cheers, Ken

HI

 

Just a heads up I believe Jerry Holoway/Tiffen holds the rights to the EFP tape, as he has a C type master of the whole thing too.

 

Just with Jerry remastering and selling this too I don't want you to get your fingers burnt with copyright infringment. He is available on this forum so you can PM him.

 

Regards

Ant

Anthony,

 

They are two distinctly different videos so I am sure there is no copyright infringement between the two.

 

 

 

Ken,

 

That is a wonderful piece of steadicam history to have resurface. Thanks! Good to hear you are doing well. We mid-timers of course know who you are and of your significant contributions.

 

Best,

 

Richard Davis

Hi Ken:

 

Good seeing you last weekend.

 

I got a copy of the Day in the Life video from Dave Emmerichs a few years ago and spent a good amount of time cleaning it up, especially the audio. It's been online since at: http://web.me.com/chupap/Films/Ted.html.

 

For the ages though, it would be great to have the definitive version straight from the master. I wonder if it has split audio with the music separate from the dialogue--that was what took the most time to deal with.

 

I'd recommend that it be given a good once-over for both picture and audio before being distributed. I'd be happy to roll up my sleeves again for the cause. Let's touch base next week on it.

 

p.s. Erich Roland shot it.

Charles,

Always good to see you.

As I remember, Erich and I talked soon after Teds passing, and he sent me the master soon after. Not having a Betacam player, I'm not sure what shape it's in, but Erich owned a post house, so I would expect it to be in good order.

I'm going out to the garage to look for those EFP tapes I have for eBay now.

Ken
