Completely out of curiosity I was wondering if anybody could explain what, mechanically, causes the ghost tails on lens flares shot with old Television Cameras. I've found a couple good examples of them:
This one is chocked full of them but its very easy too see at at 1:01 on his helmet.
This one only has a couple but at 1:05 theres a perfect one in the upper left and another at 2:14 in the same place.
I've been trying to replicate this look for a long time but I've never pinned down the necessary elements. I know it takes a slow shutter speed but as far as the actual ghosting I have no clue how to achieve it in camera. Or if it can even be achieved with more modern cams. Thanks ahead for any insight.
