All archived shows were recorded with a two camera setup using the Panasonic MS4 as a genlock source and Panasonic F10 as a genlocked slave. In [[Cooking with Chocolate]] the camera wasn't genlocked properly leading to a blue tint, this wasn't spotted during recording due to the use of a black and white preview monitor. Subsequent recordings took a colour preview as insurance! | |||
Sound was recorded with a directional microphone rather than using tie clip microphones, and the vision was mixed by [[Tim Hackett]] in the 7 normal format shows. Because the mixer had to be squashed into the crampt kitchen no camera comms were used and the camera operators (usually [[Tim Pollard]] and [[Helen Rix]]) were left to frame their own shots. | |||
Mixed footage was then passed through one more stage of processing. A [[Timeclock]] was first recorded onto a blank MMatic tape followed by the opening titles, then the source SVHS tape lined up to about 10s before the action started, a fake 'in' point was set and the two players left to free run - sometimes leading to a slightly long pause after the end of the titles. | |||
Overlayed graphics came from a [[Commodore Amiga]], which at the time was only equipped with a floppy drive. This meant that the closing titles had to be loaded one page at a time, and due to the graphical backdrop this also meant loading the backdrop too. For this reason the closing credits could often reach 3 minutes - enough time to load all of the pages and usually play the chosen track in full. | |||
For some reason Chocolate, Frogs and Lard were dubbed to SVHS in 2001, however the complete set remain on MMatic. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
The goldfish which are fried in the opening titles belonged to Katherine James, who also appeared on camera in [[Cooking with Company]]. | |||
