A third episode like this? Yes please!
Agreed
Yes, please!
Maybe of this series too, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_Impossible_(1988_TV_series)
We make fun of the people who criticize minutia in the comments, but it's fun to watch a video criticizing the minutia in a TV show.
Your mission if you choose to accept it is to make a third episode 🔥
It's not the longest time between sequels, but part 3 is finally with us 😂
That's a couple of month indeed. And for me just a couple of minutes as I didn't see the others :p
@@tsht I love it when a plan comes together 😄
Ha! "Do you like gladiator movies?" as the spy question was a brilliant choice. Peter Graves played that character so well in Airplane!
I think a good reply would be: "I'm gladiator too".
You’re the only TH-camr that can make videos this long on tape recorders and still keep it interesting.
I bet Techmoan Could make something dull as your common toaster interesting
@@rricci well i mean technology connections did that and it was a huge hit

The cheesy skits are great, I wish we would get more of your "bad acting" in your videos.
Needs more muppets :)
@@squidcaps4308 Yes. Always leave the fans wanting more quality material, rather than giving them all the mediocre "footage" in the world.
I need a Muppet disguised as Martin Landau.
Or as TV Tropes calls it, "bad 'bad acting.'" ;-)
Hey where's his IMDb page XD This much acting deserves a mention there
I would offer this and Part 1 up for an Academy Award for "Best Dramatic Work in a Documentary"!!!
I love the intro. "I see the acting classes aren't going well..." ooh self burn!
"This tape will self destruct if not stored correctly"
Pt. 3 please, very interesting. I never knew one tape recorder/player could have such a Hollywood background 😎
Brilliant! That intro is the best thing currently on the Internet! Can't wait for MI:3 ;)
The acting is amazing. Loved the "bike guy" performance.
I'm quite sure it'll end off in one of those Techmoan vs 8-bit Guy TH-cam Poops.
Awesome "movies about gladiators" reference
Ep.3 maybe with a guest actor ~~~
LMAO! Brilliant, my first thought exactly!
Owned a reel to reel many years before I owned a cassette recorder. The major advantage of the reel to reel is that I never lost a valuable recording to the machine “eating” it. Enjoyed the video. Many thanks!
0:16 - "Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?" - "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" - "Did you ever hang around the gymnasium?" lol
I vote "part three" sir. Take as much time as you need to make it cause I dig the hell outta these last two.
I hope you enjoyed Part 3.
@@JamesTobiasStewart I honestly forgot about this comment. I very much enjoyed Mat making a third Mission Impossible tape video.
"Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?"
"You'll find what you want in the tank"
The tank is in a Turkish prison!
When I was a kid in the 70s I had more fun with my Craig 212 than anything else. Doing sound effects, changing the record & playback speeds, running the tape backwards. I even got another one and rigged it so the tape ran from one player to the other so I could goofy effects.
I did some of the same things with mine. 🤓
I'm reflecting on my age now. I received this model tape recorder on Christmas ~1966-67. That started my obsession of consumer electronic gadgets and HI-Fi. i remember how everyone in the neighborhood was so impressed with the sound quality and simple operation. i was surprised to see it on one of my favorite TV shows. Great memories!
Please do a part 3, I find these honestly fascinating. Please.
Regrettable acting lives on, despite the demise of The Ben Heck Show.
Speaking of Ben Heck - in case you didn't know he has his own channel where he puts up videos of projects he works on. No regrettable acting though.
The channel name is "Ben Heck Hacks". I discovered it by accident.
Where are my dragons?
"I want to live in a world with star wars again" fast forward to today and after seeing solo "I wanna live in a world with less star wars again"
Aye, we need a part 3, these are so very interesting.
FYI: Leonardo DiCaprio uses one of the Craig recorders several times in "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood"
Found this video while trying to figure out where I'd seen that triangular joystick.
I would echo what is being said, Part 3 is very much looked forward to
Yes, we want a part 3! :-)
The footage explanation alone deserves a like.
I'm watching all the old MI episodes and noticed an interesting recording device I used to have. It's seen in Season 1 episode 18. It's a Soundscriber, a dictating machine that records on small acetate disks at 33 rpm. These can be played on an ordinary phonograph. I bought mine years ago at a used electronics store, and was actually able to buy more blank disks at an office supply store. My brother was able to record on disks he cut from acetate sheets. Might be a fun device to show on your channel if you can find one.
'Do you like gladiator movies?' Spoken by Peter Graves in "Airplane!".
I came here to see if someone had said this, and I'm not disappointed.
Yeah, let’s have a part 3!
Moderately unpopular youtube videos are often the most interesting. Many of us watching truly appreciate your dedication to the niche!
7:37 “The sale of the package without this sticker is forbidden”, according to Google Translate.
Love the Airplane! reference :)
You eve seen a grown man naked?
Unsurprisingly Matt decided not to use "Ever seen a grown man naked?" :)
Neil Oakley somethings are best left in the past!
@@rumbalala Or... "Have you ever been to a Turkish bath?"😁
Shirley not?
Wow, your analysis of the the word footage really blew my mind. And the Tim and Eric clip made me laugh out loud.
I'm sure you mean the footage of Tim and Eric
@@DirtyHairy1 yes, the footage. You'd have to clip it out though, with a pair of scissors.
Most Utubers still refer to shooting raw "footage" as "filming" or maybe "taping", though photographic film or videotape (magnetic film) are no longer involved. Long ago, I started to try to gently point that out, but quickly figured out that was a useless crusade.
Overwhelming yes for part three! The "bad acting" is perfect, very funny :)
BRILLIANT! Much like anticipating which pod would be loaded into Thunderbird 2, I really looked forward to seeing "how will this weeks tape do that phizzzz-destruct thingy?". Thanks again Matt - first class.
THE FOOTAGE EXPRESSION EXPLAINED... I'M SHOOK
You definitely need to do a part 3! Even if not the majority likes this, I'm definitely one of the few that do.
I only missed the muppets at the end commenting on your dramatic acting! ;)
I saw that Craig in Tarantino's new film and got really excited that I knew what it was. After the movie I told my friends it was the same tape recorder used in Mission Impossible and they of course couldn't care less.
The hair... hilarious. You captured the spirit of the 60s perfectly.
"Do you like gladiator movies" priceless!
I would love to see a part 3.
Thank you for the great vids.
One year on, I am still hoping for a part three.
2 years now :/
3 years now
5 years on, PART THREE HAS ARRIVED!
I cannot in see why this should not be liked.
Lots of great information, like the footage.. And the acting as part of the video, love it!
So yes please a episode 3 and continue the well researched and well produced work.
I used to love going to car boot sales and secondhand shops in the late 80s early 90s and buying these little Japanese reel to reel recorders as a kid for £1 or 50p. So many different makes and types used to turn up, but most were all rim drive. What a difference a capstan makes! Glad im not the only one who was also fascinated by these little recorders..
@@edgeeffectlol my best buy was a Grundig TK5 for 20p!
Funny you should say that... as around that time, I bought my first "serious" open-reel machine: An Ampex 2176. Got it for less than $20 at a resale shop, and found it needed belts. When I took it to reputable repair shop, they quoted a $200+ repair estimate! Sadly, books and parts were impossible for me to come by, so it sat for better than 20-years... until I found another--in working condition--on eBay for a reasonable price.
A bit of a goof! The Norita camera seen @21:01 is a mediumformat camera, not a 35mm camera so the focal lengths they're talking about doesn't make sense. Also, the camera system in question doesn't have a 85mm lens (the normal lens is a 80mm) and a portrait lens would be something more like 150-180mm.
The nonsensical focal lengths just help ensure the code words aren't accidentally triggered by a random camera buff passerby :)
yep he used a standart Noritar 80/2.
That's interesting, I thought 135mm sounded like a bit of a long lens for portraits. I used a 135 last night to shoot the lunar eclipse.
I wonder who on the production just said to buy the cheapest camera that looks serious.
It was alll part of the code ^^
More of these intro´s please, these are just golden!
Your old mate C R A I G

Definitely want a part 3! Was wondering when a part 2 would come along, and here it is! Love the Mission Impossible skit too
fun video to watch, looking forward for part 3
Two thumbs up for the Tim & Eric cameo.
On the topic of 'footage'...Unlike video which uses SMPTE (or EBU) timecode in the format HH:MM:SS:FF to represent time, film has always used Feet (and Frames) in the format FFFF+FF. For 35 mm there are 16 frames in a foot and, at 24 fps, you're running through a foot and a half for each second of action. So, one minute equals 90 feet and ten minutes is 900 feet. Traditionally film post worked in 1000 foot rolls that allowed editors and mixers to work on different parts of a project at the same time. In the mid-90s we moved to 2000 feet as the standard (roughly 20 minutes duration). Locations within a reel were always called out as (say) 400 plus 10, or 325 plus 2 and the motion control systems allowed you to enter these values on a keypad and all the machines would locate there. Back in the day a completed print would be shipped to theaters in individual reels and exhibited using two projectors with a manual changeover executed by the projectionist. With the advent of multiplex theaters the individual reels would be spliced together and shown continuously from a horizontal platter. One of several reasons for the push (by studios) to Digital Cinema was the cost of duplicating and shipping physical prints; a typical movie would run to about a mile and a half of print! Sorry, I didn't mean this to turn into a Wikipedia article. 8-)
This series is great! Especially because it gives some insight into the usage of props.
Like seeing them drilling more and more holes for the smoke effect etc. :)
I watched the first one quite recently, liked it, and am happy that a Part 2's been made. 👍
I love seeing 60s technology and that blue-green aqua that was on everything. It reminds me of spending time at my grandparent's house when I was a little kid
The amount of research and work you put into your episodes is amazing!
Another successful mission from Techmoan
would love to see part 3
Mission Impossible (3) GHOST RECORDER. Been watching Techmoan for two years. Loving it.
I totally loved the Peter Graves Airplane reference in the beginning! Gave me a good laugh.
In the vein of footage, It’s rumored that the phrase “the whole nine yards” came from certain machine gun belts in the First World War being about nine yards long.
Nine yard long belt? This doesn't sound probable if we're talking about WW1 machine guns. Nice theory though.
you get thumbs up for the opening scene! :)
Cheesy skits, unfunny puppets and the great, in-depth. research you do are what makes this channel one of my favorites! Bring it on with part 3!!
Please more! These two videos have been some of your absolute best. Stunned that they are less popular!
I really admire the amount of work you put in your videos. But seeing the end result - it obviously pays of.
Would love another episode of this
Great idea for a series, and very well done. When I was a kid, I had an Aiwa TP-60R portable tape recorder, and I remember being amazed when it showed up in "Mission: Impossible".
The attention to detail regarding the drill holes. Amazing.
Great video, I'm looking forward to a part 3.
If dankpods has taught me anything, old mate Craig “makes” good stuff
its the name of an old mate, an old mate you can take with you.
When I was a kid, my friend Bill had one of those Craig recorders. His older brother gave it to him after upgrading to cassette. There's definitely extra fun factor with reel to reel. We had so much fun taping silly nonsense on that thing. We thought we were Cheech & Chong.
It was my favourite Christmas present ever. I opened it up and got it working again a few weeks ago. We made scary radio plays with it, taped my Dad snoring, the usual stuff...
I really like the little call-backs to your Mindhunter recreation video, with the appearance of the field recorder for un-spooling the new old stock tape reels and the microphone for doing the actual recording.
That opening is Amazing! Great job
Here’s my vote for part 3, more bad acting, and more puppets! Oh, and more videos of any kind of RTR decks!
imagine how far we've come within some 40 or more or less years : backthen all mechanical and now all you need is to tap on the screen of a phone to record things and play em back... nice video and nice memories about my dad thnx a lot techmoan
This brings back memories!
By the time they got to making the first "comeback" series (1988-89) in Australia, the "gag" was updated to a disc player. Same basic dramatic concept, but, this was the late EIGHTIES, man!!. CDs had been around for barely five years.
I worked with the art department on the nineteen episodes made at the Paramount / Roadshow studio on the Gold Coast. Peter Graves reprised his old character.
FILM was shot on Arriflex 35 BL cameras and sound recorded on a Nagra 4STC, the then, VERY new stereo, time-code model.
The exposed film was flown every night to the lab for processing. As soon as it was dry, these negatives and the audio tapes went to the Telecine lab for transfer to 1" helical scan video, in NTSC, of course. This conformed video was then transmitted from the tape, via satellite, to the editing studio in the US. The 1" tapes and the audio originals were bundled up and every few days, a package of them was flown to the US.
In the edit faculty, they were running an "off-line" suite of several tape machines (3/4" BVU, I believe) and they would start a "rough edit" while the show was still being shot in Australia. Final editing was done on a bank of 1" machines running to the time-coded EDL developed on the off-line suite.
Every few days, they would satellite back a "rough cut" to the production team in Australia. This would be annotated with editors comments about "missing inserts' etc and other relevant text about as-yet un-shot scenes. The schedule was to complete ALL main unit shooting for an episode in EIGHT days. This was achieved by episode three and continued til the end of production.
Each episode of the show was being broadcast within weeks of main unit principal shooting.
Pretty wild stuff in those days.
Love your acting skills 😁
But all in all great video
Part three! Part three! Part three!
I love seeing TH-camrs make videos not on what they think will get views but because they're really passionate about it; I tend to find them far more interesting. Keep making this kind of stuff!
Yes, I would like to see a 3rd show in this series, a lot of people grew up with this show and it's interesting what you have provided. Thank you.
Very enjoyable. I think that these will be cornerstones of your channel. Vote for Part 3.
Tremendous effort you're putting into these videos. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks!!
This tape player was featured in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and thanks to this video, I recognised it.
Thanks, Mat
I loved that show!!!!! WOW you have done a TON of work researching all the old MI shows and the different tape recorders that were used, or more like how only a couple were used and just "rebranded" to look different. Alot of creativity went into the shows as I remember, and CGI wasn't around. That is what makes them so good1
Thanks for all your work!
Do a part 3.
Please and thank you
I love some early morning Techmoan
I just watched Part 3 and came back to enjoy this one again.
Admittedly, I saw something like "MI tape recorders", thought it was episode one, which I'd already avidly watched. Assuming yt was erroneously dropping it back into my feed, I swiped it away... THE HORROR.
Part 3 please!
I'd like to see a part three. Excellent work on both videos.
It looks to me like this machine was also used in 'Once upon a time in Hollywood', when Rick Dalton is rehearsing his lines.
"youre rick fucking dalton, and don't you forget that" haha
These Acting Impossible episodes are brilliant, some of my favourites. Part 3 please!!!
I'm addicted by your Videos.....and i'm watched them all !!! Please keep going. Thommy from Germany
Yes, Mat! More, please!
from IMDB: When the reel-to-reel tape recorder was playing the mission's instructions, it was actually in a "rewind" mode rather than a "play" mode. This was done because the tape moved too slowly to be believed when it was "playing"
I love the little gear shift/joystick controller on that player. Gives it a very distinctive style.
Please do a Part 3. These first 2 episodes were highly entertaining as well as informative.
Part 3! Part 3! Part 3!
Alright Mat, that's enough acting practice. We're ready for Techmoan: The Movie.
I can see it now: CIA scientists are trying to decode an unusual message from a former eastern block country, recorded on an obscure type of tape recorder. Only one man can stop the villains using his Glorsky C1800 machine that he bought off eBay three years ago, with a slightly sticky pinch roller. Matt, they're counting on you...
I was genuinely excited to see this 2nd installment in my inbox and wasn't at all disappointed with the result. Roll on part three, I can hardly wait for more ham acting... Brilliant!!!
And here is part three, Ive been waiting 5 years. Well done Mat, I enjoyed it immensely.
that intro!!! some of your best work right there! please go on to episode 3, we'll wait patiently :D
Part 3 please...or your TH-cam channel will self destruct in 5 seconds.
These videos are great!
Hey Matt, don't worry about the negativity of some people. The majority of us love your vids and appreciate all the time, effort and high quality content that goes into these videos. Love the history....keep em' coming!
Thank you for making these videos. I would never read this information on a website, but having you explain it makes it very entertaining.
