Last night we saw the new Apollo 11 film at the Waterloo Imax. While many of the pictures didn't really scale up very well to Imax it was still very impreesive. All the footage apart from a few graphics was original, not reconstructions. Less impressed withthe sound. The music they added IMO detracted from the film rather than enhancing it.
Then in the news they aanouced the sale of some original VT recordings of the landing: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019...early-lost Looking at the tapes and their labels in other reports these are 525 line NTSC recordings made on an Ampex 2000 quadruplex machine.
" Apollo 11 tapes bought for $218 may sell for millions after nearly being lost
Tapes identified in 2008 as the only surviving original recording of the first moon landing in 1969 are to go up for auction in July"
