Would there be a CGI explosion of said coffin, with a computer effect of the evidence, viz. contraband lace splaying across the screen in pixellated bits to land here and there among the audience? Then, racing against the time, the lecturer dashes out of the room through a secret passage to (do what?).. I imagine the lecturer would be dashing out of the room to avoid the copyright police who had just arrived in a paddy wagon. In the case of my lecture, The Laces of the Robber Barons, (I fancy myself playing the lead in this) permission is only granted to show slides of lace in an "evanescent image". To film the slides of the lace would take us into a whole new category of negotiation with the rights holders, namely the museum. The IOLI receives special low rates for publication of images because I always identify us as scholarly. How interesting it would be to fill out a form for use of the image and identify the use as "Blockbuster Movie". My husband and I spend a lot of time watching educational TV in which Roman ruins are explored, or, for instance, Meet the Ancestors where people are exhumed from peat bogs, or perhaps there will be some scientist being sped on a boat toward the ruins of the Colossus of Rhodes while giving a history of it. I always wonder why there is never a educational type special about textiles, even the history of costume. (There are several series about the history of the gun.) I think that a series in which a passionate lace scholar (I fancy myself in this role) is raced about in two seater sports cars to places like the Lace School in Le Puy and makes exciting discoveries, like the wedding gown of Empress Josephine would be well-received. Don't you think so? Devon - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
