[QuadList] Early Quad Color--"AMIA's The Reel Thing" Sessions were videotaped.

Michael Friend of Sony edits the material and keeps it for the permanent
record.  I have been volunteering shooting the presenters and audience.  I
know the power points and screen images are recorded as well but I don't
think they will be widely available due to copyrights and such.  There
really is some great information that probably will be available at some
point.  

It was interesting all the Carson Tonight Shows starting about the 1" days
are all digitally on line as a commercial venture.  I think the tapes were
in various formats and maybe mostly Betacam SP.  The complete shows were
ingested with exact text from the dialog which is quickly searchable.
Access to this database is controlled and is primarily used  to sell clips
and segments for commercial purposes.  They demonstrated live off the web
how the search engine worked.  They had the audience offer some key words
which worked really nice.  I didn't want to speak from my position, but I
would have offered keywords like "Ed Ames" and "Hatchet".  This is not news
to anyone but when they were asked about the Quad tapes, they pointed out
the tape was reused often to keep the costs down so only special segments
were saved by Carson during that era. But I know members in this group are
much more knowledgeable about this.  

I am interested in what most of you think about the possibility of
non-contact recovery of Quad information.  Just how difficult will this be?

Gary was one of the people cam-cording the segments.

AMIA seems to have plans to make them available-and had a notice in  
the handout advising to the effect that "your attendance is your  
permission for us to show you on camera, use your questions, etc.) I  
don't know when or by what means, but can ask.

At least 3? cameras were in use... meaning someone has to edit.

Dennis, can we volunteer you?   =:O) (FCP with Multiclip would be handy)
