Video - A Journey Through Time?

john1082 · #1 01-08-2006, 11:09 PM

Perhaps 20 years ago or so, the General Fraternity produced a video titled A Journey Through Time.

I'd like to share it with my guys at Fullerton as part of some Pre-I activities. Alas, I can't find my copy - and I doubt I ever will.

First question: Does anyone remember the aforementioned video?

If the answer to question #1 is YES, then does anyone have a copy that I can xfer to a DVD?

Shipping to and from via kryptonite lined armored car will be provided.

John,

The video that you mentioned was produced in 1984 by Bernetta Communications, as part of the 75th Anniversary. Brother Joe Batson was the leader of the project. I have a copy of the video, which I am going to be taking with me to my parents to have it dropped to a DVD. I will have a second copy made for you. Probably in late January.

It is a little known fact that the individual who plays Warren Albert Cole in the movie grew up to become a famous or infamous GC'er...me.

ZAX,
Eric

SUPER

Many thanks

May I come to Boston to pick it up?

I have a copy someplace, but I have had stuff in storage for several years while I cared for my parents. I have no clue what box it is in.

Earlier today I dropped a letter in the mail to Berneta asking if they still have the master for that video and the others that Bill Rhew produced.

Even if Berneta still has the master I'd really appreciate a copy of yours as it will, no doubt, be easier to obtain!

Any progress on the video?

John,

My apologies! I got a call from Chris Barrick at IHQ who said he could drop the tape to a DVD and enhance it with the equipment that he has access to, so I sent him the tape (which he received).

In addition, Chris was getting a copy of the original, to work with that as well.

At this point, I think Chris is the "go to" person on this. If I get a chance over the next few days, I will call him to see where he is on it.

ZAX,
Eric

Is it somethig that would Benefit all of the Zetas?

If so, can it be revitalized?

Eric, I received a note from Indy that said they were working on it and I thought that it was your tape they were using. I have not heard anything since then so I'll drop Chris a note.

As far as this video being of use to the General Fraternity, I think we need to first evaluate it's quality and then look at how best it will fit into today's education program.
