ABBA recorded this performance of “If It Wasn’t For The Nights” in December 1978 on the Mike Yarwood Christmas Show. For the life of me I still can’t figure out how they have a different color backdrop for each camera angle. It is not chromakey; the degree and accuracy of chromakey in 1978 was not sophisticated enough for this sort of thing. We would have seen artifacts and the like in the background. And yes, it’s four different camera angles of the same take.
Here’s the complete video. If anyone knows how this effect was achieved, please enlighten me.
