He shot it in a couple of days on zero budget and a few rolls of film- it was pure theatre with people in various departments doing all sort of things on cue. Everybody is incredibly busy discussing things, the head of the newsroom is correcting copy before it is broadcast, and the poor guy in the newsroom doesn&#8217;t know which phone to answer first. Women play only support roles, tidying up, typing and organizing things, The problem was that until the mid nineties this was the only footage of Radio Netherlands in the national sound archive. And when cuts came that were reported on the NOS Journaal, the same 60&#8217;s footage was often repeated &#8211; confirming the picture that RNW was stuck in the past. Again, the be fair, the sound has been changed on this version. The original over the top commentary was in Dutch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Radio Netherlands Flevo Transmitter Site and B roll material<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Radio Netherlands Flevo Transmitter Site and B roll material\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/46971292?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/46971292\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to watch on Vimeo.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>During my time as Programme Director at Radio Netherlands I commissioned various video clips to make sure we had current video material of the building, newsroom, continuity, and documentation. This was just raw footage done one day in July 2001 and 2002. This sequence starts with video from the Flevoland transmitter site when it was fully operational. Transmitters have since been removed and the site is silent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks so much for sharing these videos, Jonathan!
