New York State Beauty Pageant

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

On this WNYC Special Report, Host Paul Roman discusses the 17th Annual Miss New York State Beauty Pageant Finals with Producer Hal Blake and Ralph Weisinger, Producer and Director of recording the pageant. Weisinger will be using a new technique to "videotape" the event using several television cameras independently capturing the event. With "computerized editing," the 8 hours of footage will then be condensed into a polished 90-minute package.
