If you do get into this - and I really hope that you do (I'm sure that you will find lots of people in the area willing to help) please play attention to the sound issues. I noted in an email to the list last October that a lot of what shows up on YouTube and elsewhere is recorded (by well-meaning people) in flat-wall classrooms or lecture halls with no sound absorption, and as a result have a high degree of reverb and are almost impossible to hear. Jeff had this response... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Actually the reason is because they placed the recording microphone somewhere in the room, rather than on the podium in front of the speaker's mouth (or equivalently, using a feed from the sound board). The sound quality was ruined before it even got digitized." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ May require finding some left-oriented sound recording experts! And then, of course, there is the issue of adding subtitles for the comrades in France, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Japan, Belarus, Norway, India, ....etc. [insert smiley here] - Bill ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
