[Tig] Videotape 50th Anniversary--SCREENING

[Jeff Booth]

Hi Jeff,

A little OT but if you look at www.vtoldboys.com (the web site of ex BBC
VT operators and editors - like myself), there are QuickTime clips of
the first live transmission using VERA. I'm sure Chris Booth (no
relation) will let you use them. There are also some pictures of various
VTRs etc.

Greetings,

This is a follow-up to earlier threads on the 50th anniversary of
videotape. I'm happy to be organizing a screening for the upcoming
Association of Moving Image Archivists conference in Anchorage Alaska,
to mark the 50th Anniversary of videotape--specifically, of  2" quad
tape. I'm hoping members of the list may be interested in helping
provide, or track down, clips.

Though the screening will  be focusing on the early years of the format,
any and all submissions are welcome. 
The only criteria is that they must have originated on 2" tape.  If you
have something in your collection that fits this description--something
unique, something you're surprised was recorded, something that wouldn't
exist had that 2" machine not been rolling on a broadcast, please let me
know.  Clips should be short--about 5 mins max--since it's a brief
screening (about an hour).

Leads to possible titles, especially if they come with contact info for
friendly archivists, are also welcome.  I'm happy to answer any
questions you might have about the screening, the conference, etc., of
course.

Thanks very much,


Jeff Martin
Chicago, IL
