Well seems as if Youtube has taken my channel down for the 5th time. So this forces me to actually start making some new posts on this blog, which i needed to do any way. Today i will do a test with a video that is hosted on Vimeo. This is the beginning of a show from 1963..
Wow, this is an incredibly thorough index of films! Are you planning on posting any of them? I'm writing my PhD dissertation in anthropology on skaters in Japan but desperately need some of these early film sources from the US to document the rise of skateboarding as a "filmed" event...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for cataloging all these...a necessary and rare compendium, indeed! Stay up.
Still hoping to see your rare and precious collection archived for eternity.
ReplyDeleteI was one of Hal's video editing buddies and knew and worked with him from 1983 till his passing in 2006.
He taught me film techniques and was a dear friend. Miss him terribly.
