    Bonus trivia: not all older videos were shot in “film”. That is why some 80’s music videos on YouTube look great, while others not so much (other things being equal). The “film” ones can be re-scanned at a higher resolution and retain a lot of the original detail if the originals are around.

      Uh so what are older (I’m assuming before digital) videos shot on if not film?

      *Wait do you mean like old tv shows? I think some of those were shot on tape.
