Cameraman the Movie

Cameraman, the 1970s Super-Hero of Television Centre, accompanied by his faithful side-kick Tracker, and his admirers Autocue Girl and Make-Up Girl, battle against a range of studio Super-Villains, including: Allocations, Link Man, Lighting Man, Sparx, Racks Operator, Sound Man, the Scene Crew and Arch-Villain Director, with his brutish henchman Vision Mixer. Dedicated to BBC Television Centre and the Golden Age of Television.

PS whats the music?

[rogerabunce]

@lyonmade The main title theme is "Secret Agent Man" played by the Secrets - whose talented Lead Guitarist is Ray Liffen, formerly of TV Centre.

Brilliant Roger - took me right back to sitting on the yellow rail or in the stalls at TV Theatre reading the cartoon strips! Thanks!

Fantastic Roger. A complete studio training course in just 8:56 by 2012 standards! Genius.

Great job Roger,

Having not been back to TVC since I left in 1990, I am glad to see it hasn't changed a bit !

(only in Cameraman hahaha)

Excellent and I can only imagine the time !

Love the test card F!

Wow, biff, bam... excellent stuff Roger. Will the Ghost of Cameraman keep TVC alive forever? I sincerely hope so... he should rescue the poor refugees that have found shelter in Salford... they are being attacked by abominable accounting squeezes... Like the music!!!

I do like the handheld facsimile of a 2001 !

Wondrous. If ever "Cameraman" were needed to save TV Centre.. now's the time. Scene crew threatened with losing their footy monitor... genius. It's ALL genius!

[andycamfilms]

Amazing Stuff Roger. it must have taken you ages.

To those watching you need to see the end credits as all cameramen should.

Very funny indeed and ...... Cue Blue Peter voice

'And educational too for those younger viewers'

Superb, brilliant! I was there as Cable Basher, drowning in the camera assistant's pool until Cameraman saved me! I repaid the act by saving him from crashing his turbo powered ped. into MONITOR, another of Cameraman's enemies!

[robsuthers]

Absolutely brilliant Rog! I still have the originals from the mag but this is something else!

[SittingTargetMusic]

Genius, Roger!

: )

[lyonmade]

Absolutely fabulous, well done ;-)

[stargazinginkirkuk]

Rigging a monitor with footie feed for scenes & sparks is always priority # 1.

[TheJessycam]

Very impressive & rather accurate

[Stewby77]
