‘All these early black & white videotapes were made on 1/2 inch reel-reel open tape video recorders. Editing was achieved by roughly cueing up a player and recorder, marking with a white film-crayon, winding back as accurately as possible for a pre-roll, than engaging play. You hoped to press the edit button at the right time (or place) and that it would be releatively ‘clean’ . It was a hit&miss affair and certainly had little to do with film-style montage – more “an intervention in an ongoing process” as David Ross put it…’ Steve Partridge
