Video effects of a b/w tube television camera

Doctor who intro. nuff said.

[spacehelmetforacow]

Hey look: it's the first Doctor Who intro!

Actually, that intro could very well have been a feedback'd tube camera...It would have fit the tech level and the BBC's 'DIY'-ness approach to special effects at the time...

@spacehelmetforacow I swear, this is Doctor Who. Looks exactly like it.

[TheHippie27]

this totally reminds me of the ending of 2001; A Space Oddessy!

[creativityfilms]

Really REALLY classic Doctor Who style...

[Nokorola]

Awesome stuff.

[chrisman737]

Very cool. Ah, the good old days, huh? I remember doing this with my old camcorder hooked up to my TV. Looks like a scene right out of the finale of 2001 A Space Odyssey

I did this with a color tube camera and tilted it at different angles to make patterns.

at collage the video camera was left near the tv while it was turned on and then the teacher turned the tv on and we got loads of audio feedback

This effect was used fir the original title sequences of the British 1960's science fiction series Dr Who. Coupled with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop electronic music, it was very effective.

Dude, that electric zebra is freakin' me out man!

[Shadgrimgrvy]

Its like some kind of non-Newtonian bedsheet.

[t0nito]

why does this happen? This doesn't work with modern equipment, or does it?

[TeslaMaster]

This does only work with tube cameras.

[t0nito]

It is very interesting, I love this stuff :D

[compu85]

You can get a similar effect with a more modern camera, but it isn't this cool

[rtbvhsrip]

@t0nito It's beause of "image lag" of tube, means picture on tube leaves some trails that stay for some seconds... You can also try it with CCD, but it will not come out like this. Notice how all tube-based cameras have softer image then newer CCD/CMOS ones.
