ADAPT veteran BBC crew lining up early colour cameras in a recreation of a live outside broadcast sports event. When BBC Two launched its colour service at the Wimbledon tennis championships in 1967, cameramen and vision engineers faced this complex task.

    Hi, Italian cameraman here. I'm really fascinating to see how you boys still working with passion and I hope to can have the same enthusiasm that you have there, when I'll be reached your age. I'm enjoying your videos one by one and I'd like to say thanks for this precious material you sharing. My best regards to all of you. ☺️👋PS forgive my poor English language.

    Imagine someone in the old days wants to film a 30-second vlog, so he nudged and tweaked and fine-tuned and calibrated a monstrous camera for several hours and consumed a whole basket of fresh batteries just for preparation
