Beverly Hillbillies Open/Close (1970)/ Viacom Enterprises "V" (1984) [4K] | 16mm

[@cysjunk]

The leader's really dirty at the beginning. Still a pretty good scan. Film-Tech recently uploaded the National Amusements Dots Feature Presentation bumper on their FT Depot channel.

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

You know, I had no idea Film-Tech operated that channel.

[@rburley204]

Fantastic 4K scan!! I read that you have some others that you will be uploading soon. Look forward to seeing those!!

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

I do plan to send one or two more films to be transferred sometime in the future.

[@danielslade9485]

I'm so glad to see you doing these again.

[@WillCWilson]

Some top-tier quality here. This legit almost looks official, like a print used for a Blu-ray.

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

This was scanned with a Lasergraphics ScanStation, perhaps the best scanner in the business.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

​@@TheVintageTVArchiveOh, a TV station 40 years ago would love this!

[@CowboysNo1Fan]

So you call the ‘76 Viacom logo just the “V” now.

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

Right. I prefer it.

[@CowboysNo1Fan]

Ain't scary to you, huh

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

Nah. I’ve never been scared by a logo before; the whole “scary logos” thing never made sense to me. I prefer calling that logo the “V” logo because “V of Doom” just sounds silly to me.

[@TheRedYTPer]

Is it possible if you can capture the raw film, then transfer it to a VHS tape?

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

I’ve got the raw transfer of this film, but why transfer it to VHS? Transferring a 4K, ProRes file to VHS isn’t a practical option; the quality of the transfer decreases dramatically. No reason to do it.

[@TheRedYTPer]

@@TheVintageTVArchive The reason why is because I like vintage stuff. To do that, you can play back everything to a VHS tape.

A cool vintage globe (2:11)

[@hankfanhankfan7815]

Are you the one who sent me a copy of this a few years ago?

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

I’m sure I am because I seldom shares my transfers. I think I know you: the HTF forum?

[@hankfanhankfan7815]

@@TheVintageTVArchive yup HTF

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

I thought so, because I’ve only sent transfer to a couple people. Anything I can do for you?

[@hankfanhankfan7815]

If you have a full copy of Midnight Shorty that would be great. I have the episode before and the one after.

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

I haven’t yet had that episode transferred. I’m sending a few prints at a time to be scanned, but not every month. Once it’s scanned, I’ll be sure to let you know.

[@chrismunguia7574]

Question: Do You have all 26 epsiodes of The Alvin Show from the 16mm prints.

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

I don’t even have one. One reason is because I didn’t actively look for cartoons until recently. I’d like to try to get at least one print of that show though.
