Re: [Videolib] Looking for Faces of Culture: Religion and Magic

Looks like Faces of Culture Series from Coast Learning Systems has  
been replaced with their Cultural Anthropology series, and the  
Religion and Magic episode is now Religion and Spirituality.

The new series is also available from Distribution Access

Re: [Videolib] Goodbye Good People

Hi Elizabeth,

I've been to New Zealand and Australia both; it was a tough choice,  
but NZ has fewer poisonous critters and it's closer together than  
Australia.


It has been great working with you, too. My new e-mail is brigidkcs...@gmail.com

Take care,

Brigid

In 1970-71 a friend and I did that very thing, with a summer here in

Dear VideoLib,

After 33 years as staff at San Francisco State University and 15  
wonderful years as a media librarian, I will retire on December 30,  
2012. Listening in on and occasionally contributing to the  
discussions, arguments and general enlightenment that is VideoLib

University e-mail address disappears.


I, however, will not. Current plans are to explore California and  
the world through Geocaching (http://www.geocaching.com/). In time I  
will move to Missouri, where I grew up, where the cost of living is  
lower and where government-issued pensions like mine are not taxed.  
When the snow starts to fly I will board a plane to New Zealand for  
a second summer every year.


Life is good. Wishing you all the best.

the same course is also available through HippoCampus.org

Hi Ms. Grant,

In the meantime you might try reinforcing the hub with clear labels. Try

Nor where we bought ours, but the vendor we used no longer stocks  
them. A clear hub label above and below can slow down the problem  
considerably.

John Baldessari: 4 Short Films 1972-1973
TITLE: 6 Colorful Inside Jobs

Original distributor: http://www.jrp-ringier.com/pages/index.php
Producer: http://www.bureaudesvideos.com/
Format: PAL (although we prefer NTSC)

Additional Information:
Films Transferred to video 1972-1977
Edited by Nicolas Trembley, Paris, 2006
DVD PAL 58 min.
Multizone DVD. For private use only. EDV 1393

ISBN 10: 3-905770-09-1
ISBN 13: 978-3-905770-09-4


“Four Short Films 1972-1973” itself, as a single DVD, does not seem  
to be available in any format.
An American company, Electronic Arts Intermix  http://www.eai.org/title.htm?id=14628 
 sells DVDs on Baldessari in an NTSC format (which we would prefer)  
but the Educational version is expensive.  To get all that were  
originally on the Paris DVD (3 different films) would cost us $1000.


QUESTIONS:
1.   Does anyone know of alternative sources for this work?
2.   Is there anything that would limit our creating a copy from  
our damaged version---if we cannot find a reasonably affordable  
replacement?
I must confess I’m ignorant of French or international copyright  
laws---if or how they apply in cases like this.


Best, and hope you’re all surviving the heat,

[Videolib] Comments by Handman

[Brigid Duffy]

Hello All,

A Collection of Gary-isms, to ease today's pain:


On overdue videos:
“A 400 buck fine almost always gets the stuff back.”
“For lost or "permanently misplaced" items, we charge retail cost of  
replacement...faculty, grad student instructors, Nobel laureates,  
doesn't matter.”

On illegal copying by faculty:
“Tell the faculty member you'll bake him/her a nice cake with a file  
in it when he/she becomes cellmates with Martha Stewart...”

On inadequate classroom equipment:
“Since I am (thank the gods of media) not responsible for classroom  
equipment, there's really nothing I can do except fume and plead.”
“...I dunno about other academic institutions, but at Berkeley, a good  
number of classrooms don't even have window shades, let alone  
projectors that will do justice to Blu Ray.”

On fair use:
“Well, unfortunately, there is no nice, tidy, fair use cookbook recipe  
for most of this stuff. ”
“Well, whether there's a problem or not depends on how wild and wooly  
your institution is in interpreting fair use.”

On work:
“Hullo all (and don't we all fall down on our knees and thanks the  
stars it's Friday)”
“Yo ho, maties! ('m feeling positively pirate-y today, for some reason)”
“Thanks God for a discussion thread NOT about copyright... OK...here's  
my 2.5 cents (damn, I miss the cents key on the keyboard!): “
“Now, I'm not saying that Berkeley is typical (I would NEVER say that  
Berkeley is typical), “

On independent producers:
“if the small guys with cool stuff go away, God help us all.”

On tiered pricing:
“I've been mulling over the spate of recent posts re tiered pricing,  
etc. Mulling and stewing (sorta sounds like holiday dinner, don't it?) “

On media use:
“you can talk about forcing faculty to reserve in advance all you  
want; you can try to predict probable forthcoming need based on past  
use patterns.  It's still a crap shoot.  “

On unversity administrators;
“You're boss is sorely deluded...Hers is, I'm afraid, the kind of  
bubbly administratorspeak that's based less on insight and real  
knowledge and more on on buzz and other ill-gotten notions picked up  
banging around the infosphere...”
“I think there is an almost universal perception (outside of our small  
professional clique) that the specialization is no longer really  
needed (if it ever was).   This, of course, is utter bushwah...but  
tell that to administrators closely watching the bottom line. ”
“Where to start?  So much stupidity, so little time to vent...”

On multi-region machines:
“Get another Senior Purchasing agent...or have her (him) show you the  
law that says these machines are illegal.”

On streaming media:
“Again, my major concern in all of this is the potential of sliding  
toward the procrustean...the tendency to cut of the head and the feet  
to match the size of the bed.”
“By the way, in my experience, students don't really give a two-penny  
damn about image quality, in most instances.  These are folks (like my  
daughter) who will watch a 90 minute feature film on their iPhones. “
“I think it is becoming increasingly common for technology to dictate  
content, and that's a really nasty direction to take.  Library  
administrators and tech salesmen aren't always that far apart in their  
witting (or unwitting) buy-in to this trend.”

On subject lists:
“OK...this thing has gotten completely out of hand...I'm stopping  
now...really...I mean itI'm still open for suggestions, but just a  
crack...”
“No the be-all and end-all, but at least it's something.”

On responding too fast to a VideoLib post:
“I'm starting to confuse myself...I can imagine what I'm doing to you  
all...”

On sharing with VideoLib a video he made for a documentary class:
“(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...copyright blah blah blah...write it off  
as my inclusion here as part of valid criticism and commentary)”

On media collections:
“We should all have the motto:  "It's the CONTENT THAT COUNTS"  
tattooed on our forearms...”

On A Fair(y) Use Tale Mash-up:
Faden should be carried around on all of our shoulders.  He's my new  
hero!”


Finally:

“I know a lot of my pals on this list have different opinions, based  
on local need and circumstance...so let er' rip...”
“In any case, your thoughts and comments would be interesting and  
appreciated!”
“Keep calm and carry on.”
“Gary (who is headed off shortly to an unpretentious little pinot and  
an emailess weekend)”



Thank you, Mr. Handman.

Re: [Videolib] DVD Requiem for a Dream: Director's Cut

[Brigid Duffy]

Ridiculous as it may seem, that IS the beginning of the DVD. The  
grainy infomercial video is the 'loading the menu' sequence. Hit the  
menu button and you get what looks like the end of an infomercial -  
Send $39.95 for the 'Tappy Tibbons Collection'  but two-thirds of the  
way down that page are the conventional play movie - chapter index -  
bonus features selections. That's the menu. The bonus features sub- 
menu has the same style.

I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time---

[Videolib] BBC Proposes Downloading Service

[Videolib] Abel Gance's Napoleon - restored but not released

[Brigid Duffy]

San Francisco's Silent Film Festival will present the 5 1/2 hour  
restored version of Abel Gance's silent masterpiece "Napoleon" at  
Oakland's Paramount Theater, March 24 - April 12, 2012. It should be  
gorgeous.

According to their website, there will be no DVD, no Blu-Ray, and no  
run on Turner Movie Classics, though - too expensive.

[Videolib] Emil Janning's Variety

[Brigid Duffy]

Hi Videolib,

Looks like SFSU's 16mm print of "Variety" is on its last legs. Is this  
DVD print legit?

http://www.amazon.com/Variety-Varieté-Emil-Jannings/dp/B00316Q4ZK

Normally I wouldn't question amazon.com, but this is a DVD-R recording  
on a Region 0 DVD, with no frills, and no manufacturer is listed.

But then maybe this is no longer under copyright...

Thanks for any opinions.

Re: [Videolib] Plea from a Media Collection Decimation Zone

[Brigid Duffy]

Check with other libraries in the area to see what their theft rate is  
("monitor the shrinkage" - really! The items don't decrease in size,  
they get stolen.).


Work up an estimate on what it will cost to replace that percentage of  
the collection - or do a range, of 5% - 10% - 25%.


Present this to The Powers That Be, and thank them for the increase in  
your media purchasing budget, which they must perforce immediately  
authorize to replace the items that will  be stolen. You will handle  
the complaints from faculty and students about class disruption and  
information lost - unless they ask to speak to a higher authority.


It's an idea, anyway.

Media Collections Colleagues,

I send this out at least in part as a plea for support – moral  
support at the very least.  Last week from out of the blue my  
library director announced that we were to move our media collection  
(about 4000 VHS videos and DVDs) from the media room (with closed  
stacks) downstairs to open stacks around the circulation desk.   
Although some of the titles known to be heavily used by faculty for  
teaching are to be put “behind the desk” in a limited teaching  
collection,  most of the titles are to be placed in an “outer ring”  
of shelving around the circulation desk open to patrons and the  
public.


Though we had been told that we would be investigating and planning  
for such a potential move sometime in the new year, this directive  
came without warning and certainly without any significant planning  
or forethought.   The titles are to be put on open shelving.  There  
are no locked cases involved and none of the titles are tattle- 
taped.   In the media room patrons had to check-out titles even if  
they wanted to view them in the media room.  We could track  
circulation statistics as well as maintain a high level of  
security.  As of the beginning of 2012, no such control will be in  
place.  In short, the entire collection will be unsecure and exposed  
to whomever deans pull a title off the shelf - to view or otherwise.
I have expressed my deep concerns, but the answer I have gotten back  
is that we “will put things out on the shelves and monitor the  
shrinkage.”  Not the most effective way to manage the collection I  
have noted. Seems akin to putting pamphlets on a display that says  
“take one.”  Seems to me this gets to the basic issue of what a  
library media collection is for, and how should it be used and  
managed?


For the record, my concerns have been echoed by other collages  
including several higher up my chain of command.  But, top level  
administration is un-swayed by such arguments, though I intend to  
continue to make them even as I am compelled to move the  
collection.  I suspect there are backroom politics involving space  
issues ownership (of the media room) that I will not go into here.   
My biggest concern, apart from the sheer suddenness of it all, is  
the future security and integrity of the collection.  To go from a  
closed room (with check-out viewing only) to completely open stacks  
with no security control virtually overnight is not a good thing in  
my opinion.  I fear that my circulating collection is about to be  
decimated and devalued at the very least.


I suppose that in my shock at what I have been asked to do, I need  
some input from those on this list.  My big question to my media  
colleagues on this list is this:  Does anyone out there have their  
media collection on completely open stacks with no security?I’ll  
take any input (advisory or consoling) I can get.


Thanks in advance and happy holidays.

And as Gary has mentioned frequently, many of these 16mm prints at

Re: [Videolib] Silent to Talkie

[Brigid Duffy]

If you can find it, there is a 26 minute episode from the CBS  
"Twentieth Century" series, made in 1959, titled "The Movies Learn to  
Talk"

Sixty-five years of the development of sound films are telescoped in  
this CBS documentary. It presents a variety of examples of sound  
research including that of Edison, Gaumont, DeForest, Warner Brothers'  
Vitaphone and Fox Movietone. Brief scenes are shown from silent and  
sound films with celebrities such as John Barrymore, George Bernard  
Shaw and Al Jolson in  " The Jazz Singer ".

Re: [Videolib] Western Asian Films

[Brigid Duffy]

From Wikipedia:

Western Asia, West Asia, Southwest Asia or Southwestern Asia are terms  
that describe the westernmostportion of Asia. The terms are partly  
coterminous with the Middle East, which describes a geographical  
position in relation to Western Europe rather than its location within  
Asia. Due to this perceived Eurocentrism, international organizations  
such as the United Nations,[1] have replaced Middle East and Near East  
with Western Asia. This region and Europe are collectively referred to  
as Western Eurasia.


The countries and territories in the UN Subregion of Western Asia,[10]  
listed below:

Re: [Videolib] Media circulation terms

[Brigid Duffy]

At San Francisco State University it's faculty only, one week,  
renewable for one week, maximum 7 items - but we are flexible on that.  
Some teachers need 20 for a weekend film class they are teaching,  
others only come to campus once a week to teach their class, some need  
to show over more than 2 weeks.


Students watch media over a closed-circuit cable system.

My nephew is going to a small private elementary school in northern

their library and see if I could help with adding/matching materials  
to their curriculum.  It turns out that they don’t even have a DVD  
player and can’t get the acquisition of one approved.  The newer  
teachers are expecting to highlight their content with media, but  
the administration of course thinks it’s “leisure” and the sweet  
librarian is trying very hard to make everyone happy.  It makes me  
wonder how rampant this type of situation is.


I’m donating a DVD player, thanks to the National Media Market  
giving them out with registration a couple of years ago. PBS is  
actually looking to see if they have any tapes left lying around.  I  
know A&E destroyed any they had.  If you know of any source that  
might still have some lying around that they’d like to get rid of  
(for K-8) I’d really like to hear about it.

UCLA argued that under Soveriegn Immunity, the State of California — 
and the state university, by extension—couldn't be sued in Federal  
Court without the State of California's permission.


What wasn't decided—blogger Kevin Smith, J.D. notes—was the issue of  
copyright.  He says that issue turned on the language of the license  
AIME granted regarding public performance.


Smith says the judge "seems to accept withouth discussion two  
assertions—that streaming is not a "distribution" such as to  
infringe the exclusive right to authorize distribution, and that  
copying incidental to a licensed right (the right of public  
performance) was fair use."


The last two paragraphs of Smith's blog post outline what claims  
AIME can refile, the time limit and limits against the parties who  
can be sued.


Smith's conclusion: The issue of streaming video as a fair use  
hasn't been decided.


Hope this is helpful.

I have a graduate nursing faculty member looking for Ethics in  
Nursing videos.  We have Films on Demand, but she hasn't found what  
she wants from their catalog.  I've requested a free trial of  
Nursing in Video from ASP (they list 4 videos that may work).   
Anyone else have any other distributor suggestions?


She's looking for things like informed consent, confidentiality,

Can't think of any positive portrayals of computers, save for some

Next Generation, or K.I.T.T., the car in the "Knight Rider" series - a

[Videolib] Extended Education Classes

[Brigid Duffy]

Hi Videolib,

The face-to-face exemption allows:

"performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils in the  
course of face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational  
institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction"


A question has come up as to how far that goes.

Our extended education program has satellite programs in connection  
with other colleges in the area. Can videos that SFSU bought for SFSU  
classes be shown?


Our extended education program has a 'credit partners' option for  
businesses and conferences, which will allow university credit for in- 
house training or conferences, if they meet our university  
department's standards for instruction. Can they use videos we have  
bought in face to face instruction?


I swear, every time somebody tries to clear up copyright issues,  
somebody else creates a new grey area.


Thanks for any information, ideas or opinions.

According to the reviews and comments on IMDB, Jerry Lewis has the one

Re: [Videolib] What do you call "video"?

[Brigid Duffy]

I use "video" generally, as you do and as Google does. The tab on  
their home page says "Videos" not "Digitally recorded sounds and  
images", or any other phrase.

Re: [Videolib] Snapshot of highest used videos

Maybe it's the neighborhood. We also see a lot of use on the 'Killing  
Us Softly'  - but far more checkouts on "Zoot Suit" than "Forrest Gump".

[Videolib] Of Gods and Men - DVD only

Some people have asked bout a DVD only copy of "Of Gods and Men" -

Ignatius Press is issuing a DVD only edition for $23.96 plus shipping.

Re: [Videolib] Study Guides , was Re: Article on educational distribution

[Brigid Duffy]

We have 'study guide available' listed in our media descriptions,  
where appropriate.


We considered listing links in the annotation, but after a few years  
the links disappear with the websites (many NOVA videos, for  
instance). Printed guides last longer, but take up more space. If they  
are readily available teachers will take them, but if not, they gather  
dust.


The best option? Include the study guide on the DVD. That takes up no  
shelf space, is readily available to the user and doesn't disappear  
before the DVD does.

Re: [Videolib] Security stripping

[Brigid Duffy]

Do you keep your DVDs in their original cases? I once set off a  
detector going into the University Bookstore, because it detected the  
magnetic strip inside a DVD I had purchased elsewhere (and had already  
wrapped up for mailing).


Next time it happens, take a look inside the case. Or walk the case  
past the detector, without the DVD inside.

has not been desensitized, generally designed to prevent stealing.   
I’m sure many of you use the same kind of system.


Our DVDs and tapes very routinely set off the gates, even though the

so frequent that the folks watching the doors downstairs have quit  
stopping people because “it happens all the time…” It does NOT,  
however, happen with books going through the same gates, so  
thankfully, we are ruling out the very expensive gates as the  
culprits.


We strip every DVD or VHS  in a case. I am trying to troubleshoot  
what the issue could be before I declare it the desensitizer and  
have to buy a new one.  I think it could be user error, the strips,  
maybe the placement of the strips?, the cases (standard plastic), or  
the desensitizer.  Has anyone else had this issue?  How did you

Re: [Videolib] DVD cases

[Brigid Duffy]

We use clear DVD cases from Video Shopper

http://www.shopperinc.com/product.htm?pid=570689&cat=26400

They crack sometimes, but you can't control how patrons will treat them.

Whatever brand you buy and whomever you buy them from, get clear  
cases. Much easier for staff (and the patron) to see what is - or  
isn't - inside.

We use Sure Thing CD labels (small, clear hub labels) to reinforce the

People of the Wind  
DVD 19761 hr., 50 min.  
In 1923 filmmakers Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack recorded  
the arduous migration of the Bhaktiari people across the Zagros  
Mountains of western Iran in  " Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life ".  
Fifty years later filmmaker Anthony Howarth traveled with the Babadi,  
part of the Bhaktiari people, across the same mountains. As this  
documentary shows, though some technology has changed, the human  
struggle remains much the same.


DVD Empire for $20.93 plus shipping, amazon.com for $26.99 and many  
other online retailers.

hi again

I'm gonna forward my reply (below) and you query to the list.

in order to stream to the classroom you need a laptop with wireless  
or IP
network access and you need a projector that will handle digital  
output

(which is most of them)

Progressive downloads (streaming) is a pain in the ass.  Don't go  
there!


All that said, I would NEVER (ever) recommend that a faculty person  
opt

for streamed delivery over DVD.  I consider myself somewhat savvy and
possessing considerable sang froid when it comes to using tech to  
teach,
and I can tell you from considerable experience that it's always a  
total

crap shoot--an experience totally dependent on network vagaries and
equipment quirks.

Classes here start at 10 min after the hour, typically, which means  
you

have 5-10 minutes to run into the class, boot out whomever is in there
milling around from the previous class, whip out your lap top, VGA and
audio cables, find the input box and hook them up, test the sound  
level,

pray that the projector is working and that the network is not acting
hinky.

Not my idea of a good time.

Gary



Subject: Remote Streaming to Classrooms

Newsreel would like to call on the "wisdom of the list" to answer a
technical question. How difficult is it to stream content from a  
remote

(not campus) server directly into a classroom? Can it be run directly
through a video projector or does it need a laptop with an internet
connection?  What are the potential glitches we might encounter?
Finally, does it make a difference if the content is streamed using  
real

time (RTMP) or progressive streaming? Please answer off-line to
l...@newsreel.org. Thanks.



If you could tell me how to post this or post it for me, I'd greatly
appreciate it. I have returned from my two week sojourn in Kyoto;  
many
cherry blossoms, many Zen temples, no post-tsunami stress syndrome.  
It's

the end of term so we should be able to schedule our long-postponed
lunch date.



Best Wishes

Larry.

He first discusses the Google Books settlement case and then the

[Videolib] Film and Laserdisc storage

[Brigid Duffy]

Hello, all,

We will be moving our media collection into new space in San Francisco  
State University's new library (let's hear it for bond issues) by the  
end of the year. This will include moving close to 2,000 16mm films  
and laserdiscs. Some of these are still in active use, though most,  
honestly, are not.

If anyone out there still has 16mm film or laserdiscs in their  
collection, could you let me know what you use for shelving?

We would prefer vertical storage for the laserdiscs (in the past we  
used hanging bags) and vertical storage for the small number of  
frequently used films. I understand horizontal storage is preferred  
for long term film storage. For now we want to know what everybody  
else is doing. Photos would be helpful, if you can.

This is not a money-is-no-object situation, but we do want to keep  
these instructional materials in good condition for as long as possible.

Please feel free to reply off list, if you prefer.

Thanks,

Re: [Videolib] Sources for screenplays

Script City sells scripts in printed and pdf formats.

http://scriptcity.com

Lots of these are NOT published screenplays. It is a source for people  
in the industry, as well as us non-Hollywood types.

Years ago I got a copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" from Script City. It  
included scenes that did not make the final print; Horton Foote  
definitely deserved the Oscar he received. $14.99 for the final draft.

Hope this helps.

Deadly Dentist? That was a new one for me. As a daughter of two  
dentists, I’ve always been bothered that dentists in the movies only  
seem to exist as another stereotype of pure evil.  I am curious if  
anyone can list movies (not documentaries) that show dentists in a  
positive light.


Of course, it’s not Friday, so maybe I’m posing this question a bit  
early.


Glee recently featured John Stamos as a dentist.  While he may not  
have played an excellent dentist, I was encouraged by the fact that  
he was not evil.

Re: [Videolib] Apple making available Russian films without approval

For example, this note from Wikipedia on "The Snow Maiden":

The film is listed as being in the public domain on the website of the  
Russian Federal Agency of Culture and Cinematography. [1] The film  
also lapsed into the public domain in the United States when its US  
copyright expired, but the copyright was restored under the GATT  
treaty. [2]

Re: [Videolib] notice to faculty re video/dvd acquisitions

[Brigid Duffy]

Back in the days when SFSU had a media purchasing budget...

1. Always notify the faculty by e-mail when something they requested  
is ready for checkout.


2. One library office asks for a list of new media once a year, so  
they can incorporate it into their online catalog. That's all they  
seem to want. We send an e-mail to department chairs just before the  
fall semester starts of all media bought in their area, whether they  
requested it or not.  They can forward the list to their faculty, if  
they want.


3. No direct contact with library subject selectors.

4. Neither Academic Technology nor the Library here at SF State, as  
far as I know, have an online newsletter.


5. Don't forget going to department meetings and requesting 5 minutes  
of their time to discuss what you have and what they need.

Hi everyone,
For the academic university crowd….
I’m curious as to how you notify or if you notify faculty who  
request that the library purchase a video/dvd.


1.  Do you notify the selector when the item has come in?
1a) Do you only notify the selector when it is a rush?
2.  If you have Faculty library liaisons in each department, do you  
notify them of new media in their subject area?

2a) if so, do you ask them to spread the word
2b) if not, do you notify the department at large by  
sending a mass email t to all the profs?
3.  Do you notify librarian subject selectors and ask them to  
forward on the notification?
4.  Do you rely solely on an online newsletter or monthly  
acquisitions list for books and media in one?

5.  Alternatives?

Both a 1990 fact-based feature film,

Das Schrekliche Mädchen  ( The Nasty Girl )

and a 1993 CBC Prime Time Magazine 25-minute documentary, "Nasty Girl"
When teenager Anna Rosmus decided to write a history of wartime  
resistance to the Nazis in her Bavarian hometown of Passau, Germany,  
she uncovered a far darker story than she expected. This Canadian  
Broadcasting Corporation documentary chronicles the obstacles she  
overcame to uncover the truth about the past, and her fight against

Re: [Videolib] Disc cleaner

[Brigid Duffy]

Try Novus 1 plastic clean & shine, and Novus 2 fine scratch remover.  
Actually in the automotive section of amazon.com but works well on  
DVDs. Probably in your local auto parts store, too.

#1 is good for cleaning,  #2 does well with fine scratches; no need  
for #3, the heavy scratch remover.

Should cost you less than $20 on amazon.com

Any help would be appreciated. I seem to be striking out with a

2. Said colleague would like to use this story as a kind of thematic  
lead for a series of 5-6 films on the theme of "Veteran/Veterans."  
In this context I think veteran can be widely interpreted, from  
something *about* veterans, in the sense of Coming Home perhaps (not  
a documentary, I realize) to videos more conceptual in approach.  
"Veterans" of immigration conflicts, for instance.


If any of you have some suggestions I would greatly appreciate any  
serious tips.




If any of you have some recent productions that might fit, that

I usually agree with everything you say about 98% of the time and

that MOST people don't realize it or care when they're watching  
badly-done video, but that doesn't mean that they don't get a whole  
lot more when the image is big and gorgeous. There is a physical  
almost spiritual reaction when you see a great film on a big screen  
or an original work of art hanging on the wall. (We had both  
experiences this month and I'm off to Le Giornate del Cinema Muto so  
I'm very happy.)


And I know that most of AV work is dealing with educational films  
that can (but not always) have a different emphasis on quality of  
information over beauty of visuals and classrooms that are  
definitely not the Castro, but one reason the experience of watching  
films and videos is so devalued by people is that they haven't  
experienced seeing a Terrence Malick film on a giant screen.


We sent a 35mm print of one of our favorite releases to a theater in  
Minneapolis that's showing it in a couple weeks. Four of the young  
theater workers put the film up the very day it arrived to watch it  
because they couldn't wait to see it on the big screen.

Re: [Videolib] DVD enhancements

[Brigid Duffy]

I have occasionally bought a DVD because it included a short film we  
needed. We also had a professor in business request Disney's  
"Ratatouille" not for the film, but for a supplementary interview on  
filmmaking and running a gourmet restaurant - "Fine Food and Film: A  
Conversation with Brad Bird and Thomas Keller" (2007, 14 minutes).

Problem is, unless the supplementary materials are well publicized,  
nobody will know they are there, and that's not much of a selling point.

And how many people buy anything (cars, phones, books, DVDs or  
whatever) because they want the add-ons?

Excellent! I will refund your registration in KC, ok? Funny you  
should mention videocam – we are bringing one to create a short  
video to put on our website for next year. Watch out for the  
interviewer stalking attendees...


The Nelson-Atkins museum is actually within walking distance and  
it’s worth a visit. Although I think the shuttlecock looks silly.

Thanks for the update, Ursula. By the way, rooms were sttill  
available and I found a flight so I'm on my way, Manager's Special  
red wine not withstanding.


I have in my hand a book called Missouri Curiosities. If anyone  
brings a videocam imagine what we might find to document!?


Apparently the biggest shuttlecock in the world, and other treasures.

Interesting viewpoint; DVD sales are down, but rentals are not.

Re: [Videolib] Organic popcorn at library screenings?

[Brigid Duffy]

That's odd; when I surf health food websites, I see many references to  
this 'top ten' list (though they don't all have the same foods listed).

Nothing on the FDA website.

Ah, well.

OK I did a little googling and it is released on DVD by Dark Sky  
Films which is a division of MPI. There is some chance MPI owns the  
rights as unlike a lot of home video companies they do some

information in their records to tell you who did provided you can  
convince someone to look it up.


Here is the link to their contact page

PS I am going to start charging for this stuff soon ( just kidding).
