Film Stock used for Band Aid's "Feed the World" Clip

[Marc Roessler]

That season of the year is approaching again... (well it's still a while...)

 

Clip in HD resolution (with apparently a bit too much edge enhancement...)

I'm curious about the stock used... in the credits it lists Agfa Gevaert and Kay Labs, so I suppose it was Agfa stock processed at Kay Labs. It was shot November 1984, so XT 320 might be it.. but that's just guessing. Anybody know any specifics?

 

What I know is that is was 16mm - an ARRI SR is recohnizable from the carrying handle and mattebox style, and in the making of an Aaton LTR can be seen..

 

Greetings,

I was involved with this , I had a Aaton and your guess is correct about the Agfa XT 320.

Thanks John!

 

It must have been exciting to be there!

 

By the way, is that you about 1 second into the clip putting the LTR on the stairs in the background behind Sting?

I remember that video and thought how amazing it was to get all those people together. They all look like kids now.
