I'm going to have to watch the rest of the video later. It's pretty awesome that I can stream it to my desktop at work ... considering I'm the son of the guy who filmed it and I'm not certain I ever saw the final product. I know I was "production crew" on some of his later films for the computing industry but this one isn't familiar. By the way, if you're on the East coast in early June, Emerson is having some kid of retirement bash for my Dad. I've included my email address in your form so hit me up if you want to know the details. You know my Dad: he would rather die than have them make a fuss over him, but I guess they must have twisted his arm. My brothers (both Emerson grads) are planning to fly back for the event as well. (Me, I'm still here in Boston.) Needless to say, thanks for the tribute to my Dad. He took his teaching and mentoring really seriously and I could probably embarrass the hell out of him by sending him this link. Pete Jr. Great link.

But since I'm currently involved in copying a shit-ton of up to 30 year old U-Matic tapes to DVCAM tapes, I can tell you this: They're 3/4", not 1/2". All variants of Beta and VHS are 1/2". I feel like such a dweeby spaz now. I hate being a pedant, I really do.
