Author Topic: The Last Picture Show Men (BBC Radio 4). Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-08-2005 08:26 AM                     "The Last Picture Show Men" (29 minutes) BBC RADIO 4. Q: Is there a way of posting an audio file?  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 10-08-2005 09:50 AM                        Not at all bad, I thought. It was the right decision to let the projectionists do the talking - I feared that they might pull in one of the usual rentaquote 'experts' to pretend to know about technology, but the producers very wisely didn't go there. They could have updated the story a bit to include a section on what working in a modern multiplex is like, but overall I was pleasantly surprised. If you want to save anything offline from BBC Listen Again, the easiest way is to record the 'wave out' channel using a simple wave editor program (the one which is thrown in with Nero works fine) while the streamed audio is playing. You probably don't need to, though - Radio 4 output seems to be archived online indefnitely. I've looked for things that were broadcast years ago and found them without any problem.  |  IP: Logged Dick Prather Master Film Handler Posts: 259 From: Portland, OR, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-08-2005 03:11 PM                     I thought it was great. It really explains the feelings one had while working in the booth. Thanks for letting us know about it. Dick  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

That was fun, and the website well worth a return. Radio as it once was--Though without images, the dialog and sound effects enabled me to see everything in my mind's eye. Now I know what our UK film-techers' voices must sound like. I had a hard time understanding Mary though, but caught on by the time of her moving meeting with David Lean.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-09-2005 07:09 PM                        quote: Bernard Tonks Q: Is there a way of posting an audio file? Depends on the size. If it's not over 25MB, you could upload it to putfile.com and link to it there for download. Or is that not allowed. I'm not sure - Feel free to slap me upside the head.  |  IP: Logged Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-10-2005 08:54 AM                     Thanks for the link David, which could be useful if allowed here? I have just found another secure free website yousendit.com which would be able to forward large audio files upto 1MB to Film-Tech for Brad to download if agreeable to insert into a New Topic.  |  IP: Logged
