Television from deep – The World

Journey TV undertakes a similar path to develop its title each of its programs. The path leads to the editors and producers of the massive documentary RTVE public broadcasting, even scanning process. Pedro Santos directs space video of the 1, in its second season has advanced its broadcast time slot to prime time Star and the format has been extended from 30 to 50 minutes, this Friday opens at 22.15 with chapter We want your son , on the phenomenon fan -. “In the first program more than 80 characters, Sandokan Sonny Crockett, through the Pecos and Justin Bieber to appear” Santos advances to this newspaper. Cachitos iron and chromium and How we laugh have also dug in recent times in the many public coffers looking audiovisual treasures. “Obviously it is a cheap production cost without more than staff who are already paid,” explains Alberto Prada, deputy director of TVE documentary.

In February last year, concluded the agreement with Telefónica RTVE for scanning your. Film and ribbons, which leaves the original and one copy are sorted and dumped in a digital locker. “90% of the work is already done,” recalls De Prada, convinced that the crisis “has slowed the process.” In the remaining 10% are found, for example, U-matic videocassettes eighties, they will have to be passed to current formats and then massively digitized. Other images are lost forever, as Prada recalls: “From the news 60 rolls of news are saved individually, but no trace of the presenters, because there was no video and no recorded informative, but emitted directly “.

Prada argues that the rise of archiving programs not due to financial difficulties of the public corporation as giving facilities digitization. “ In the last five years, the use of archival material has increased exponentially .’s First intention was that the process of conservation, but the second and third were the dissemination and exploitation” raises the deputy director of the fund.

Some short videos, such as used for information, can be sent from one computer to another. But based programs rely on footage tapes. This is the case Cachitos iron and chromium , developed by the team of Radio 3-Diaz presents Virginia. Currently, this musical space recorded his second season for television. “ Cachitos is done in Barcelona, ​​but every so often is the director and the director of the program at Prado del Rey (Madrid) for collecting the searches you have requested,” explains De Prada.

“ staff also attends many series of TVE, as Tell , to see material of the time of the frames,” says Prada. In fact, the last season of fiction Alcántara family was completed with the Ochéntame again program, also composed of archival footage, though interspersed with recent interviews.

” The process Journey TV is as follows: an editor makes a request for documentation and they pass us the tapes, mostly in Betacam format What is longest viewing. editor you can see more than 1,000 tapes . Sometimes, these fees invoiced times very specific, but if we seek material Lorenzo Lamas and Julia Otero was interviewed, we see whole, lasts the duration “says Santos.

In your opinion, Journey Earth makes more humorous than nostalgic journey. In this second season, the show’s own production TVE has also added Santiago Segura as narrator. The Forges humorist repeated graphics. “Hilarious situations as the singer Ivan, who at the time was an idol is created, but if a kid sees now singing ‘White my pillow polluted thinking only of yourself’, because cracks up,” notes Santos . It’s for him, but also to save it.
