Those nights when you look up at the sky and wonder at DVinfo.net

Even white trash like me has done it.

When I’m not yacking about myself, or my friends or family, I do the occasional science/ history bit. Er, flick. This was my pitch piece for educational flicks. I was trying for a non-professorial tone, engagement + a cool idea = education. It’d be nice to make some and get paid for it.

I liked what I saw so far, I was interested and thought it was funny, but it would only load about a minute and wouldn't go any further. Using Firefox on a Mac. Maybe I'll try Safari later tonight.
But from what I saw so far, looks great.

You're right, there seems to be a problem!

But I won't get home till 1:30am NY time, I'll try to make one that works then. Till then there's a smaller version that works:

My Safari also stopped on 'Table'. Pretty cool vid. Kind of a new take on 'Star Date'. The opening sequence reminded me of one of my first video jobs..twenty hours of sewer video transfer.

I will watch the rest when you get it working.

I do believe it's working now. If not you might let me know.

I think it's great! I would have loved to watch something like that back in high school physics. It was informative, combined with the right level of humor, and it makes you think a little bit. The public domain footage was relevant, and the music was great, too. You got a laugh out of me at the "genius" bit, and the "I'm not talkin' about a kitchen table! Or even a Louis the 14th table!". Great video.

Thanks for watching!

I think it's a good script; technically, I had to do the best I could with what I had then, like the blue-screening, which ain't quite super-duper sometimes.

Thanks to all for watching!

Elmer... great video. You should be paid for it! Have you sent it to schools curriculum advisers?

Elmer Lang · July 12th, 2007, 10:17 AM

Glad you liked it!

I was trying from the opposite end, but that's an idea.
