<DIV>being the recipient of many awards I have had a chance to play
with and handle them and have decided that rs
owens does great stuff.... they did my
Emmy (R) Award and Telly's ... they also do the Oscar
Cleo etc... ( do not have any of those yet....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>FOX does some unique awards.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will look at some of the statues here and get some names for
you... there are some cheap ass folks in the business
that do cheesy work....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>the big thing you have to deal with is if you want something unique
you will pay though the ass for design and mold costs... and
if you go with a ready made design it my be the same pattern
as something really stupid gets an award for!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>there is also a big variance in metal finishes and plating
layers even with the good guys like rs ownens</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>what would be great was if someone in
the group was a metalworker/ artist...</DIV>

<DIV>"Quaddy" works for me.</DIV>

<DIV>Anyone else got ideas?</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV><B>Statue:</B></DIV>
<DIV><B>Dennis: </B>Can you investigate sources of such statuary
and cost?</DIV>
<DIV>Or maybe someone else has done this before and can indicate what
their experiences were.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I'll ask Tony whether some beyond-refurbishing headwheels might be
available for the statue.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>The thought that the four pole-pieces infer the four points of the
compass is an interesting connection with the ideas that Quad videotape
spread across the globe, and on a number of levels has created
connections among people where none might have existed before.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV><B>Criteria: </B></DIV>
<DIV>Do we need some discussion about what defines "excellence in
preserving the vanishing art of 2-inch quadruplex videotape recording
and reproduction?"</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><B>Process:</B></DIV>
<DIV>Can be very simple. As simple as nominations via the list or
some other process you all might suggest. </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>As I've gotten older, I've gotten to be more a fan of simple and
not necessarily re-inventing the wheel.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><B>How big a deal should this be?</B></DIV>
<DIV>It could be as simple as "Here's the Quaddy" at a lunch or
dinner..... or could be a production, with on-screen retrospective and
remarks by peers.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Is this to be a big surprise... or something the recipient is aware
of in advance (unless the award is posthumous.) </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV><B>Timeline:</B></DIV>
<DIV>When and where should the award be given?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>NAB is next month, and perhaps too soon to be able to prepare both
the statue and the honoree (whomever that may be)</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>AMIA is in St. Louis, MO, Wed., Nov. 4 through Sat., Nov. 7..
There's usually a lot of regular AMIA stuff going on during the
evenings.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>The award could be presented during one of those events... perhaps
Archival Screening night?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Or it could be on the Tuesday evening of AMIA Week when I'd planned
to arrange a dinner gathering for the group, much like we did in
Savannah, this past Nov.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV><B>Klara is in St. Louis... </B>and might have some
suggestions about where to do that. </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>AMIA registration is actually open on Tuesday as there are two-day
workshops that start on Tuesday... so people who aren't part of the
group and might be interested in attending could join us for the
event.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If not NAB or AMIA... are there other gatherings that relate
to "excellence in preserving the vanishing art of 2-inch quadruplex
videotape recording and reproduction?"</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Other places with a connection to Quad? </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>That could be a barbecue in David Crosthwait's parking
lot.... or something really grand on the East Coast. </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Or: _____________________________.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><B>Costs:</B></DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas about potential underwriters of the cost of the statue
and flying the recipient in?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>If this is something that might be better discussed on a separate
mailing list... I'm happy to set up the "QuaddyList" and post a link to
the sign-up webpage.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Or volunteers can say "I'll help" and we can communicate by
e-mail.</DIV>
