Livestream(s)! Quasar Great Time Machine Teaser! Archivisms! (Patreon)
Content
As floated (if you will) last week, it looks I'm gonna be doing the livestream thing this week. With that, I'm trying to come up with something a little better than me just schlepping around my iPad--and since I haven't tested anything yet, I think I might do two streams--one sometime later today or tonight (Patreon exclusive!) to see if my homebrew two-camera setup is worth pursuing and then the main one tomorrow evening--which, if need be, will be via the iPad.
Since I don't know when or if I'll get the dry run done today/tonight, I'm holding off on creating a link. But, I will go ahead and make the announcement for tomorrow (there should be a full-blown YT link in the E-Mail and Patreon lisitngs, if not... http://youtube.com/live/rpMAQ5aKl40
Next week will be the first of two consecutive episodes on the Quasar Great Time Machine VCR--the first will be a full-on record-breaker for longest OA to date--I wound up with an unintentional full-length quasi-documentary on the repair and transfers. The following week will be a standard (and far more easily digestible) OA episode on the format.
As an appetizer, I found a few gems among my tapes. One of the chief ones is from a local, HBO-esque (or maybe L.A.'s Z Channel would be a better comparison) movie channel. I've found a few references to it online, but no footage, so this may be the first to surface. Here's one of only two bits I found and the ONLY one with any accompanying visual.
