A rare find? Stargate production tapes
Just a touch of back story before I get to the point. Think of it as one of those "Previously, on Stargate SG-1" clips.
Someone I've known for a few years is a dumpster diver. For longer than I've known him he's been digging a mixture of really cool and really dull things from dumpsters here in Vancouver. Especially in Kits, which is a neighborhood of yuppies. All sorts of amazing things get thrown out here, and my friend finds them. Or at least he did, until he flew back home to Toronto a few years ago to attend his father's funeral and never came back.
This brings us to the point of this thread.
I've been helping the owner of the house he lived in clean out all the junk he left behind. All sorts of cool things have been surfacing. One thing I found last night though stuck out. 5 Super-VHS tapes. They have lables on them from the Gastown Post and Rainmaker Digital Pictures, referencing Stargate SG-1. For example, one says:
STARGATE SG-1B DAY: 3PT1&2
"MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE" TC: 03 HR NDF
Ep.#8906
REEL: 073
Dailies Xfer D.O.P.
CR: A262-266,B157-158,C93
Length: 39:13
Stargate SG-1 Prodn. Ltd. Partnership
TC/KC BURNS OP:CHD
07-MAY-98
TCN:8193
D.O.P
TO: SET
Am I right in assuming D.O.P. stands for director of photography? And that these tapes contain something really cool?
I haven't tried to play any of them yet as I don't have an S-VHS compatible VCR.
I can snap some pictures shortly.
