A few months ago, when I stumbled on these old tapes while we were packing up our house for a move, I thought it would be nice to get them digitized. I wasn’t planning on doing anything more with them, other than breaking up the three versions into their own clips and putting them all on YouTube to share with those who helped produce them.

Maybe it was the “shelter in place” of the pandemic and the desire to shift my focus off the news for minute, or maybe it was Nine Inch Nails surprise release of two new albums in their moody soundscape “Ghosts” series. really though, why not both?

Either way, I started to mull on it and thought, “why not.” I went back and reviewed the footage. The source tapes were long gone, meaning all I had to work with was the original three edits. Luckily, in “Edit 2,” I used bunch of alternate angles from the second camera. Reaffirming my thought that this was just meant to happen. So with proper editing software and an actual degree in film production, I assembled the definitive remaster…

Naturally there are a lot of things that I wish we would have done better at the time… but hey… all things considered… I think we did pretty good… thanks for taking this little journey back with me, and let me know what you think in comments below.
