Music Box Video
By Robbie Rhodes

Suggestions:

1. Make the production with resolution suitable for HDTV (High Definition Television). This new broadcast technology will be hungry for images which can exploit the new, high-resolution TV sets. This might require that your production be filmed with cinema equipment, instead of a simple CCD video camera, but the added investment in image quality will add much greater value for future TV broadcasting.

2. In his article in Digest 960726, "The Fratti School for Music Box Restoration," Larry Smith related his experience as a student, learning how to repair his own music box. This would make a wonderful segment: a cinema "documentary" of a restoration project.

[ From AV Video magazine, March 1996, page 106:
[
["Corey Carbonara, director of the New Video Technologies Project at
[ Baylor University in Waco, Texas, has defined true HDTV as having five
[ times the visual detail, ten times the color information, and more
[ than twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of [ American ] NTSC
[ television. Moreover, the picture is substantially brighter, the
[ aspect ratio is more than one-third larger, and the sound quality is
[ equivalent to that of compact discs."
