A/V Geeks Lunch 1-25-2022

so so so so so so so so so everybody i'm skipped alzheimer and welcome to the av geeks lunchtime streaming show um i like that little tacked on the end uh for that last film uh about chile and um that came from the orgone archive which is a collection of films in based in pittsburgh pennsylvania and we scanned a bunch of their stuff and ultimately that was part of the mogul brothers collection which was a film library based in new york city that you could rent so it's a wide variety of stuff and it's all educational so it is um stuff that might have been used in schools but really was just made for general interest those early educational films were not meant to be shown in schools because schools originally most of those were made on 35 millimeter and distributed on 35 and most schools did not have access to 35 millimeter projectors um it was only after probably late 20s mid to late 20s that um when sixteen millimeter projectors were uh beginning to appear that schools started supporting it but it wasn't really until after world war ii that there was this boon of um schools almost every school had a 16 millimeter projector because of world war ii army navy surplus there were a bunch of projectors that were available and they just basically got released to schools much to the chagrin of impro and bell and howell and other folks that's history um we geek out here at av geeks we watch old 16 millimeter films and then sometimes we we talk about them uh this next film is a nasa film it's about a moment in history enjoy [Music] april 9 1963 president kennedy empowered

two-way telephone calls high-speed data facsimile and teletype communications between the united states south america and europe relay has also carried a number of television programs on a one-way path from europe to north america and from north america to europe relay was built by rca for the national aeronautic and space administration and is a project of nasa's goddard space flight center in greenbelt maryland at goddard the relay broadcasts are directed by a communications satellite operations center i'd like the tour group to pay particular attention to the activity in this room this is a communication satellite operations center it's known as comsock the gentleman you see at work are spacecraft controllers they're in charge of the relay project there on the side you'll note the spacecraft status board it shows that relay has been commanded to monitor its systems and report on its operating condition how much more time is uh well not very long andover is ready so are england

typically british weather for sir winston ceremony [Music] it's a mixed honor guard united states marines and a british marine here's the president randolph churchill on the right ambassador armstrong on the president's other flank tom hill how's your reception hello eurovision ladies and gentlemen members of the congress members of the cabinet his excellency the british ambassador ambassadors of the commonwealth old friends of uh sir winston led by mr baruch ladies and gentlemen we gather today at a moment unique in the history of the united states this is the first time that the united states congress has solemnly resolved that the president of the united states shall proclaim an honorary citizenship for the citizen of another country and in joining me to perform this happy duty the congress gives mr winston churchill a distinction shared only with the marcus de lafayette in proclaiming him an honorary citizen i only propose a formal recognition of the place he has long since won in the history of freedom and in the affections of my and now his fellow countrymen whenever and wherever tyranny threatened he has always championed liberty facing firmly towards the future he has never forgotten the past serving six monarchs of his native great britain he has served all men's freedom and dignity in the dark days and darker nights when england stood alone and most men save englishmen despaired of england's life he mobilized the english language and sent it into battle the incandescent quality of his words illuminated the courage of his countrymen indifferent himself to danger the servant of the future now therefore are john f kennedy president of the united states of america under the authority contained in an act of the 88th congress to hereby declare sir winston churchill an honorary citizen of the united states of america in witness whereof i have here and to set my hand and cause the seal of the united states of america to be affected done at the city of washington this ninth day of april in the year of our lord 1963 and of the independence of the united states of america the 187. hello comsoc tom hill calling picture and sound both okay bbc state clearest ever seen via transatlantic relay so winston observed the program at his london home and was deeply moved [Music] so it's a little bit of history uh for about two things about satellite uh communications and being able to do a live broadcast uh to another part of the world and also about making winston churchill a u.s citizen um yeah fascinating love it okay so i have behind me a film transfer machine that we call a telecini this is a german machine that i bought new some time ago probably 12 13 14 years ago um i bought it to digitize a bunch of advertising well i bought it to digitize my stuff but also to digitize a bunch of advertising for the duke university uh ad views project where we did i think it was like 40 000 commercials 10 000 commercials maybe it was ten thousand i i can't remember brain anyways um so it's old it's it's a standard definition machine uh has a standard definition camera in it um but it's it's great for doing these broadcasts so uh that's what we're gonna do so we're gonna watch a film called jump enjoy [Music] for most people rope jumping has long been associated with novelty acts or as a game little girls played long ago [Music] rope jumping today has broken through all the old stereotypes now it's part of a challenging world of fun and fitness that's open to everyone [Music] athletes like dave parker of the pittsburgh pirates fred brown of the seattle supersonics and randy white of the dallas cowboys use rope jumping to sharpen their agility timing and overall fitness but they're not the only ones there's bernie coppell doc on loveboat paramedics from pasco county florida and many many others [Music] and best of all the fundamentals of rope jumping are easy to learn [Music] you don't need a lot of equipment to get into rope jumping soft-soled athletic shoes like you'd use for tennis running or basketball are recommended [Music] lightweight loose-fitting shirts slacks shorts or gym clothes are best to keep hair out of your eyes a headband can be worn the only equipment you'll need is a proper length rope to determine the proper length stand on the center of the rope feet together the handles of the rope should reach the armpits but just how easy is it to learn rope jumping well anyone can do it the best proof is to show you by demonstrating 16 of the most basic stunts or skills let's start with the side swing stand with your feet together twirl the rope to the left side of your body keeping your hands together now twirl the rope to the right side keeping your hands together this is how it looks at normal speed to do the basic bounce start with the rope behind you touching your heels swing the rope forward over your head jump over the rope on each continuous turn while keeping your feet ankles and knees together jump and land on the balls of your feet jump one or two inches off the floor rotate hands in a four or five inch circle put them together and you have the double side swing and jump keeping your hands together twirl the rope on one side of the body and then the other on the third turn open your arms and jump over the rope keep your feet together throughout the sequence for the single side swing and jump twirl the rope to one side of your body keeping your hands together on the next turn open your arms and the rope and jump the third turn is on the opposite side of your body holding both hands together open your arms and jump over the rope on the fourth turn for the skier keep your knees and feet together and jump from side to side the bell is done by alternately jumping forward and backward on each continuous turn of the rope for the side straddle jump with your feet spread apart about shoulder width on the next jump return to the basic bounce position to do the forward straddle make a forward stride jump with your feet about 12 inches apart on the next jump reverse the stride position of your feet by making a scissors like movement to do the straddle cross jump to the side straddle position on the next jump cross your legs for the wounded duck jump to a position with your toes and knees touching on the next jump spread your knees and toes so that your heels touch keep your knees bent in both landing positions the crisscross is an arm movement skill cross your arms as the rope approaches your feet and jump the rope while in the crossed arm position on the next turn of the rope uncross your arms and do a basic bounce jump to do a full turn first do a side swing to the right follow the rope with your body continue side swings until a full turn has been completed then finish with a basic bounce for heel to heel hop on the right foot and touch the left heel forward on the next turn to the rope hop to the left foot and touch the right heel forward to do the toe to toe hop on the right foot and touch the left toe forward on the next turn of the rope hop on the left foot and touch the right toe forward for a forward 180 do a side swing to your right and let your body follow until a half turn is completed open your arms and a basic bounce for a backward 180 jump backwards over the rope at the top of the ropes arc extend both arms backwards and make a half turn of the body then complete the jump now let's see what it looks like as a choreographed group routine [Music] this is a sample of what you can do with a few basic rope jumping skills the possibilities for a fine performance are as unlimited as your imagination [Music] [Music] it's easy to start a rope jumping program in your school the american heart association offers a complete curriculum guide for the educator take a rope add some instruction and encouragement and you've got the ingredients for a great performance and the benefits last a lifetime you're on there did you huh let's see if i have any info on it in uh my database no i don't wow this is a this is a really great film uh i'm gonna look it up on uh worldcat worldcat is a website that lists library holdings on um lots of different places but also has listings for um films and video jump let's see it's about skydiving and i have a film about drug use called jump i don't think i have it wow so i'm not sure what year this is i mean we're all guessing like early 80s um the pac-man shirt was a guide for us uh bernie coppell who played doc on the love boat was another guide but uh yeah um yeah we got to premiere that together i had not seen that film sometimes these films that have simple titles we just don't watch uh because we just you know our brains like oh that's about something i don't know jump so uh we miss it all right um now it's turn time to uh val belinda enjoy [Music] my [Music] hello kenneth hello miss ken where's rodney he has

because audio was off but the audio um wasn't totally sync to begin with um this was a cued speech uh film so something to help uh people with um impaired hearing to start learning how to read lips so that's why everything is so you know everybody's enunciating and everybody is um talking slow and the pacing is slow and um this was a university of southern california and i think that's right and also um i have another film by them called barbrish new shoes so there you go all right so behind me i have another film queued up this is a film i've shown before but this is a brand new copy of it and i'm hoping that the quality of this is going to be better than what i currently have um [Music] this is part of the inside out series um i showed a film by the same people kind of the self-incorporated film i showed yesterday but this one is the i think personally one of the best um inside outs uh and it's it speaks to it's definitely 70s and i showed this the last time i showed this was part of a show called free range kids which is basically kids going out in the world going wild just like i remember um not sitting at home watching television playing video games um on their phones like going wild and the reason why i like this film is because it shows a lot of really bad behavior and that's one of the the traps and pitfalls of having an educational film that shows bad behavior is that you might be introducing uh interesting ideas to kids about bad behavior even if you show at the end uh the bad results what happens from the bad behavior it doesn't matter you're planting seeds and so this one is planting some seriously crazy seeds so this is i have not seen this film and i'm hoping that again the quality is better than the last copy that i have um so pretty excited this is i dare you enjoy the following is from a national instructional television series the series and related materials were developed and supported by 32 educational agencies with additional support from exxon corporation [Music] so [Music] foreign get out of here uh [Music] i agree she has to do better there than that don't do like butchers what did he do look this is your

and related materials developed and supported by 32 educational agencies in the united states and canada with additional support from exxon corporation this program was produced by wnvt northern virginia educational television under the supervision of nit national instructional television two the best time to uh make an educational film as some of you have noted um that makes me really happy um because i love that uh film a lot it is it encapsulates a lot of why i collect old 16 millimeter films and watch them because it captures a time that is no longer um and you know we all in the comments were commenting about aspects of this you know whether we grew up during this time or we grew up after this time like how our peers interacted and ultimately there's a film about peer pressure but man it's awesome nonetheless and so the other copy i have is faded it's scratched it has splices and i've shown it because i love the film and this film is the color is really good um you know there's like little to no scratches no splices so yay thanks for indulging me and let me show that film again um if you like what you saw you can donate to us by buying us coffee and you can go to ko-fi.com avgeeks or you can go to buymeacoffee.comgeeks both of those are wonderful ways to support us because we love coffee um we'll be back again tomorrow on wednesday and we'll watch some more 16 millimeter films um that last film was from a tub that was in my basement that i was looking for something else and i found it and i was like oh my god i have a copy of this and i don't think this is actually in our database so that means that that tub is not in our database uh so i have to go through and figure out a way to log all those titles um anyhow i hope everybody has a great rest of their day and um you know don't succumb to peer pressure and jump in front of a volkswagen uh bus because at this time day and age i wouldn't trust the brakes um but uh yeah take care and we will see you tomorrow bye five four three eight seven six five four three eight seven six five four three
