Mmmbop

Using Hanson's 'Mmmbop' as the background, this was a collation of clips from 1996 (for example Mike Ross and Ian France in outtakes from Joker in the Pack II) to 1999, created by Rob Sprowson.

It was unique in two respects

• The first music to video to dip the background music to hear relevant sound from the foreground video, this was previously extremely difficult on the Sony Umatic edit suite
• The first clip to be archived digitally from the Mac, using a 57600bps serial link via ZModem to a second computer sitting in the bottom of the safe - this took over a day to transfer

Two digital copies exist, one on a CD-R in the station and one off site, both hampered by being encoded in Media100 format.
