Negative Positive
Title: Archival Benefit
Review: I expected the footage to be somewhat degraded, but was hopeful that given the product editorial: "This tape is top quality..." I might be in for a pleasant surprise. I was, the footage is so grainy and dark that you cannot make out the faces. The only advantage to the production is for the witness via glimpses now and then of titans of karate in their prime. Be suspicious of offerings from Rising Sun Video Productions: witness the botched sound quality of their Hirokazu Kanazawa "Mastering Karate" series.
Is the review positive or negative?
