This is of course a great idea. My next comment is that sound is an exact science - got to get it right especially for those of us who are fast entering the world of the very hard of hearing. But also one needs to recall that the "talking heads" phenomenon is the curse of documentary film making. Think making a film rather than recording a talk. In the long run it will be a lot more valuable. Though of course the act of recording the talk is part of the process of gathering material to make the film. Just don't stop there. Form a partnership with some film students. New York must have thousands of them. comradely Gary On 3/24/10, Bill Quimby <[email protected]> wrote: > > ====================================================================== > Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > ====================================================================== > > > > > Louis Proyect wrote: > > I have big plans for this: > > > > 1. videos from events like the Left Forum or other such events in > > the Big Apple. > > > > 2. interviews with people like David Harvey. > > > > 3.
