This is a segment from Heather Vale’s popular Toronto TV show, WORD, which aired in the mid 1990s. She is interviewing Pete Morrison, singer of the rock band Ohm and the Temple of Sound.
This was recorded off the TV by Pete, so it’s not the original quality (sorry!)
Heather Vale helped pioneer this on-camera style, affectionately known as the Heather Vale Walk ‘n’ Talk (it was toned down from the MuchMusic shaky cam, and later adapted by many TV shows and stations including MuchMusic). Then there’s our famous swish-pan intro bumpers which created the illusion of high-tech editing without actually editing a thing.
The interview is a standard format — mostly one-camera hand-held with the mic directing the flow of conversation. We did NOT use tripods back then… not EVER!
