Video effects of a b/w tube television camera

The output of an old tube black and white television camera was fed into a tv set. The screen of this set was filmed by the camera. The feedback loop of the video signal created different effects on the screen. The background music is an own composition.

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

[TeslaMaster]

This does only work with tube cameras.

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

Doctor who intro. nuff said.

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...

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

@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.

Really REALLY classic Doctor Who style...

Awesome stuff.

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

My God, it's full of stars!

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