AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 7-11-2025

Hi everybody, this is Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the AV Geeks Lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16mimeter films. And I'm not going to show you any imagery of Poison Ivy today, either on my body or uh in a film. We got through that yesterday and I think we lost some subscriptions. Oh well, that is the life. In the meantime, uh we did some my assistant Kan did some scanning of some stuff from the uh filmmaker Craig Baldwin. And so we're going to share some of that today, plus some other stuff that we have. Uh so this is Captain Quest. I think this was a TV show maybe from the 50s or early 60s. Uh enjoy. [Music] Captain Quest and his junior explorers journey to distant lands and learn of things both strange and real. Explore the world. [Music] >> Aoy, Captain Quest. >> Hi there, junior explorers. Come aboard, Jane. Tommy. >> Well, you're just in time. I'm about to go on another expedition. >> Where are you going, Captain Q? >> I'm going to do some fast traveling to many parts of the world. Jame, first I want to go to a rope ranch. How about it? You want to come with me? >> We do want to go with you. >> Is it a strange kind of place, Captain Q? >> Yes, Tommy. Uh, a rope farm is a mighty strange place, but of course, they they don't grow rope as we know it. They they just grow the material from which ropes are made. After that, we're going to go to a snake farm. There they really raise snakes. >> Oh, this is going to be a wonderful expedition. This is what I call real adventure. Well, >> sometimes people need a a special product that can only be raised in in one part of the world. That's why we have many unusual farms. Discovering those farms is a real adventure. >> We want to explore everything in the world. That's why we are junior explorers, Captain Q. >> Well, we can't explore every unusual farm in the world. Not this time. But I picked out a few that should provide us with some exciting experiences in countries with hot climates. There are coconut farms or plantations as they call them. The coconut is one of the most useful plants in the world. Besides producing a nourishing and tasty fruit, people get oil, soap, many other products from it. Finally, I'm going to take you to a fish farm. There they raise trout, not only to sell as food, but to stock lakes and rivers for sport. So, let's get started. Junior explorers. >> Our first stop is at Port Elizabeth in South Africa. Here we'll explore one of the most unusual and dangerous farms in the world, the snake forest. Yes, they raise some of the deadliest snakes on Earth here. Pup adders, the cobra, the mambber, the African wounds slam, and almost every poisonous variety known. A bite by one of these can mean death, but the attendant handles them fearlessly. Don't let this fool you, though. Long experience has given him the skill of an expert. I wouldn't advise you junior explorers to get this close to a snake. Visitors to this unusual farm are welcome. A special place has been set aside from which we can see everything in perfect safety. [Music] The snakes, some of them brought here from far off places, are exhibited by the attendant, who also explains why such an unusual farm is needed. Now, strange as it may seem, the best cure for a bite by a poisonous snake is a medicine made from the poison of the snake itself. That's the reason for this farm. Here the snakes are milked regularly. That is the poison is taken from them. Thousands of people are helped every year by the medicine made from this snake poison. The attendant shows the visitors how a snake strikes, letting it bite him. Watch that snake as it sinks its fangs into his right sleeve. No harm done. The jacket is made of thick, tough material and the teeth can't go through it. To show the snakes's deadly fangs, the attendant forces open the jaws. It takes about 50 snakes to supply just one ounce of poison, and handling each one is a dangerous job. [Music] Milking or extracting the poison is a simple process if you know how. A glass is placed under the fangs. The poison sacks just back of the head are then squeezed to force the venom out. It's an unusual farm and an unusual crop, but it's needed to save the lives of people. And so in far off South Africa, we discover a snake farm. Now, junior explorers, let's visit a coconut farm. The coconut is the source of food and wealth to the people living in lands with hot, moist climates. When ready for harvesting, a native climbs to the top of the tree and cuts down the ripe coconuts. [Music] later. The nuts are gathered and brought to the husking yard. And here on a sharp steel spike fixed in the ground, the green outer husk of the nut is ripped off. [Music] The nut is then passed on for the next operation where it's cut neatly into halves. Finally, the coconuts are dried either in the hot sun or by baking in a special kum. From the coconut tree, the people get wood for houses and furniture. From the leaves, baskets and fatching for roofs. The fibers from the husk are woven into ropes, mats, and sandals. The nut itself gives food, oil, soap, feed for cattle, many more products. Without doubt, the coconut tree is the most valuable tree in all of the tropical world. From [Music] tropic lands, let's head north, junior explorers, to the low, cold, swampy areas of Jutland, Denmark. This was once wasteland, but now it's been turned into something very unusual, a fish farm. The seeds the farmer uses here are fish eggs, millions of them. Eventually, these eggs turn into tiny fish. The small fry are placed in ponds where they grow rapidly and safely, for there are no big fish to eat up the little ones. When they've grown bigger, the young fish, or fingerlings, as they're called, are taken out again and moved to still larger ponds. [Music] Every day they are fed chopped beef or horse meat. Strangely enough, these little fishes soon learn the time for feeding. They wait at the side of the pond from which the food is thrown to them. [Music] As they begin to reach their full growth, year by year, they are moved to even bigger ponds where they have plenty of room to grow. Finally, they're big enough to take care of themselves. And that's when they're netted out and loaded into tanks to be shipped to their final homes, a fish market, or a lake or a stream to provide a meal for someone or sport for a fisherman. Hard work and ingenious ideas have turned useless land into a prosperous and unusual farm. [Music] From North Europe, we sail to Kenya land in Africa. Junior explorers, I want to show you a rope farm or rope ranch. From the sea coast, we go inland over dirt roads through a countryside that looks like a desert in many places. For miles around, we see cactus-like vegetation. These are the sisle plants. From the leaves of this plant come the fibers from making rope. [Music] With swift, powerful strokes, the plantation workers chop down their sisle leaves. They don't look much like rope or even something from which rope can be made. But let's follow this crop, junior explorers, and see what happens to it. [Music] Between the rows of sisle plants runs a small railroad. The tracks are temporary. When work in one area is finished, the railroad is simply picked up and laid out in another part of the plantation. Loaded on the small open cars, the bunches of sisle leaves are taken to the mill, which is usually nothing but a long shed made of sheets of corrugated iron. [Music] Here the trains are quickly unloaded and the sisle leaves dumped on a long conveyor belt. Huge rollers carry the leaves to powerful crushing machines which mash and grind the sisle leaves into a pulpy state. It keeps rolling along and other machines pick the fiber out from the pulp and squeeze out the water. [Music] The fiber is then placed on long racks to dry under the hot tropical sun. [Music] When the fiber is dry, it's pressed into huge bales and shipped to factories all over the world. We've seen some very unusual farms, junior explorers. A farm where snake poison is the crop, another where coconuts are grown for hundreds of different uses, a swamp land turned into a fish farm, and desert land growing fibers for rope. I wonder if there's anything on earth from which people can't find some good use if they just set their minds to it. Well, junior explorers, that's all for today's expedition. I'll be here again for another journey to explore this world of ours. >> And we'll be going with Captain Cla. Don't forget to join us on our next expedition. >> So long, junior explorers. See you next trip. [Music] I got to say I love that. um you know, it was a bunch of uh stock footage but um that they packaged. Um but yeah, that early 50s television is kind of cool. Um and I'm sure this was syndicated and uh sold uh for um television stations that were hungry for content at the time. Uh so pretty cool. All right. Um, so this next film is uh I got reach reached by this filmmaker who's based in Canada and he worked on these next two films and they're both dealing with careers. I don't know if I've shown this one or not. It's It's funny like the title I know it and I don't know if we've shown it like because the title I wrote in my spreadsheet of all the films that I showed said uh insurance occupations and this is general insurance careers. So is it possible that I have two separate films about working in insurance? I don't know. I'm kind of excited. Let's find out. Enjoy. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] The insurance business is really one that's so vitally interested in the people that work in it. It can't function without the proper people. Nothing moves without the proper people. We're concerned about this. We worry about it. And those of us that work in it think about it all the time because where did we come from? How did we get here? But strangely enough, a lot of us drift into insurance. We drift in through very many reasons. And some of us drift right back out again. But by and large, we stay. We become fascinated because really in this day and age, nothing moves without insurance. You wouldn't drive your car without it. You couldn't get a mortgage on your home without it. I don't think you'd even buy an engagement ring without it. So, everything needs insurance. >> Oh, yeah. Great. I have to hang up because Ross is coming in. Okay. Bye-bye. >> Yes, sir. May I help you? >> Good afternoon. My name is Ross Cation. I have an an appointment with Mr. Peter Roberts. >> Yes, sir. Have a seat for a moment and I'll ring. >> Thank you. [Music] Good afternoon, Mr. Roberts. My name is Mr. Kation. I have an appointment with you in regards to insurance. Yes. >> How do you do? Excuse my appearance, would you? >> Oh, that's fine. Come in the office. >> No problem. And I'll sure certainly. >> Okay. >> Have a seat. >> Fine. >> The reason why I had sent a letter to you in regards to your insurance was I wanted to discuss uh different types of general insurance with you. The insurance agent of today is a highly skilled professional who knows protection, >> who knows needs. >> He runs an efficient organization or he won't survive. >> You pay for protection and it's his job to see that that protection applies. >> Uh what type of products do you make? >> Uh I have a catalog here which describes the items that we make. [Applause] We manufacture basically automotive racing accessories, suspension parts, wheels, headers. >> Our products liability coverage uh covers you in the event of an accident uh for defective parts caused by your parts being in the car. Uh you mind if I took this with me then and we'll take it to our underwriting department. We'll have the underwriters and myself will go over it and we'll be back to you in a week to 10 days with a with a quote on the insurance. >> Be fine. >> Underwriting. Well, hi George. How are you? >> Good. 23 building. Yes. Where is it located? West Hill. Uh, is there any fire protection? I've been working in the underwriting department as a clerk for the past 3 weeks. Although I do not plan to remain as a clerk where I'm now taking night classes in automobile and fire insurance along with the basis of sure of the insurance business and this with my work here in the office I hope will enable me to become an underwriter. >> Well, George, I I can't give you an answer on this. I'll have to check this out. Could I call you back? Thank you. Bye. [Music] The underwriter's job is to assess a risk, its impact on the company, the ability of the company to absorb a loss. >> Every underwriter has to look at every offering as if it was going to be totally destroyed the next day. He has to try to assess the correct premium be charged for that risk and he has to assess what forms of protection the company can afford to provide >> because quite naturally a company cannot provide for every risk even though one of the earliest orders in the insurance business is to protect me for everything quote unquote. >> What's the problem you have? >> The agent George le >> Oh yeah, >> he's writing. He wants to know if we would accept a two family dwelling. It's been converted in 1934. if we would accept it standard rates. >> It was converted in 1934. >> 1934. Yes. >> Has he had any prior insurance on it? >> Uh, no, he didn't. >> He didn't. E. This is the first time they want to insure it. >> Yeah. >> Uh, has he seen the dwelling? >> Uh, no. I don't think he has. No, >> he hasn't. E. Uh, well, it might not meet our requirements right now. Uh, I guess you don't know anything about the construction. >> Well, it's a it's a bit veneer building. >> Tell the agent not to bind us until we have the inspection through. Okay. Yeah, I think the best idea here would be to get an inspection. Brian, >> what about an electrical and heating? Would you like one of those? >> Yeah, we should get one of them. Special attention to that. >> Okay. >> And I think Petersons would be the best company to handle. >> Oh, yes, they are. >> Thank you. >> Okay. >> Peterson, you said. >> Yeah, Peterson. >> Customer service. Mrs. B speaking. >> Yes, Mrs. Bman. And can I have the policy number, please? And you wish to add the cottage for 5,000 is it. And the contents coverage 2,000. Yes. And do you have any other uh equipment kept up at the cottage? >> The high school graduate is interviewed in the personnel department and judged on his or her own merits, on appearance, on intelligence, on marks, and mostly on interest. He would then be brought into the company ranks and trained in the most basic of functions such as our filing systems or the wordings on personal insurance policies. [Music] He would be required to serve an apprenticeship until someone in a senior capacity decided that he was ready for more responsibilities. Most companies now insist on exposure to insurance institute courses. Most companies encourage people in many ways to take these courses with bonus systems, by paying for the cost of the courses, and by giving time off to attend lectures and sit for examinations. There is no better background for a junior than the insurance institute. >> Good morning, Gary. Oh, good morning. It was a a problem, I bet. >> Yes, Gary. We've had an NSF check come back on this file, and we're going to have to call for the full premium. It's $5,000, and I thought you better know about it. >> Yeah, I better have a look at the file. $5,000. >> Yeah, they'll probably have difficulty making the arrangements within the 10 days that we allow. >> Oh, this is one of our better agents in that area, too. And and I can see by this and the premium that this is one of his bigger accounts. >> Yeah. Um, I'm going down there next week with the inspector. >> Are you? Good. >> So, I'll take this up with him. >> Oh, good. If you're going to be talking to the agent, uh, you might suggest bank financing to him. >> Good idea. That's a very good idea. >> Let's keep the business, >> right? >> Even if we can't finance it. >> That's what I'll do. I'll give you a report when I come back from the trip. Uh, you better leave the file with me then. Okay. >> All right. Fine. Thank you, Carrie. >> Oh, that's just one more. Thanks, Liz. John, regarding the Smith Dennis account, the buildings involved, are they mainly fireresistive? >> Yes, there are a few non-standard fireresistant buildings included. >> Uh-huh. I take it you're using an average rate. >> We are. It's basically the CUA rate. >> The insurance broker is a representative of the insurance buying public. Legally, he has no responsibility to the companies that he sells the business to, >> but in actual fact, he has a great deal of respect for the insurance market and knows the market conditions thoroughly. >> Years and all information on all the buildings. Jenny, could you bring in those two plans for locations 14 and 16? >> Now, as you'll notice, there's now a $10,000 deductible on the >> He's usually a highly trained individual who knows the commercial insurance market. Generally a graduate of company ranks and generally employed by a large commercial firm. >> Are you carrying a loss? >> He makes his living with the professional corporate insurance buyer. Perhaps the toughest customer of them all. However, we are >> he brushes with fields such as risk management with a professional risk risk engineer >> and he handles policies as complex as overseas shipments of car manufacturers to things as simple as the corporate president's stamp collection >> resistive six-story building. >> Yes. >> And there is an addition which is sprinklered non-standard fire resistive. Uh there's good cut offs and uh oh about 30% is fire resistive construction. The remaining port here portion is not uh not on the schedule. >> Well no this is actually brick joy >> to get to a position in a brokerage firm is really a fairly long procedure >> provide an entire >> they sell and produce their own product in that the training involved is complex and therefore they usually of necessity recruit from company ranks >> underwriting. This is a 19. >> They tend to pay a slightly higher than average scale, but they do expect a very large return for a dollar investment. >> 17. >> In this day and age, nobody gives money to anybody for anything but hard work. >> I'd like you to go out as soon as possible to have a look at this. Do you think this is possible in the near future? >> It's out in the West End and I'll be out there tomorrow morning. So, I'll I'll do it at the >> this one after I do my other one. I have one quite a way out really. So, >> well, if you could >> as long as it's tomorrow, that's all you're you're uh worrying about. >> Well, that would be tremendous because this is the only one that we don't have full information on. And I think that will complete your files. >> The insurance field man is probably the most highly trained product of the company's training scheme. >> Good morning. >> My card. Your agent, Tom Jones, phoned into the office requesting that someone come out and do a physical inspection of your property for fire and burglary. >> Yes, Mr. Jones mentioned that you were coming. >> I see. Um, could we start in the uh the basement? >> Well, we don't have a basement in this store. >> Well, maybe we'll go to the back room and I'll work forward then. >> Okay, fine. >> Do you have a doorway or or an opening? >> Oh, yes. I'm sorry. It's right here. >> Keep it well concealed. >> Yes. >> Thanks very much. A field representative comes in many disguises and with many titles. Some companies call him a fieldman. Some companies call him a field representative. The British companies call him an inspector and the American companies call him a special agent. The job is very attractive for a young man because it entails travel. It entails expenses. It entails the use of a company car. >> Excuse me. Is everything all right, Mr. Daly? >> Fine. Thank you. >> Bye. >> But the job entails quite a great deal more than pure sales. It involves usually physical risk inspection because the fieldman in fact becomes the eyes and ears of the underwriter on the spot. He verifies rates on buildings, does physical inspections for building safety and fire and burglary hazards. He checks desiraability of location and he actually in fact solicits the business from the agent and that he encourages the agent to place that business with his particular company. [Music] Now you'll notice that uh this vehicle we just have to stand back and uh look at it and we can say that it is a apparent total loss. The uh possibility of attempting of repairing this car and still staying within the value of the vehicle is impossible. So we would write it off. Now you notice the very severe impact at the right side of the uh the vehicle has caused the frame to buckle. The sills are just about non-existent. >> The young man or woman wishing to become an adjuster should serve a brief time learning just what an insurance policy is and just what an insurance policy is intended to do. >> It's this intended to do that's so very important to the attitude of the future claims adjuster. with this impact has rolled causing the roof to collapse. >> Claims department. May I help you? >> You had a fire. Where both did it happen? >> I see. And was it a building or a house or just what? >> I see. Students coming into the insurance business with the hope of entering a claims career must first understand the claims man must interpret policies as drafted by the underwriter. So a background in underwriting is probably essential. >> This one this is that file you're handling up in varsity there. You know the one where the third party was on the wrong side of the road. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. >> Pictures back from the prince. >> Mhm. >> And look at the damage on our side. Thank you very much. >> I'm a claim examiner and briefly my job is to determine liability in terms of the highway traffic act. Let's set up a hypothetical situation. An accident is phoned into our office. Okay. And from the initial report, it appears that the other party is at fault. If our insured has collision insurance, I would advise the insurance adjuster to go out and appraise the damage done to our insured vehicle and settle with our insured. When this is done, I will be in contact with all the company who insured all the person's vehicle in terms of us being reimbured for the money that we outlaid. It's one of the few occupations where an apprenticeship is so very well rewarded with the satisfaction of doing a good and complex job. I would imagine the most spectacular being the outside claims investigators who literally comb through burning rubble. There are also the men who go and investigate accidents of all descriptions. Here we have individuals that literally become our private investigators and look into claims of all types. Claims that involve whiplash injuries that aren't quite what they're purported to be. This occurs. After all, we are handling the public's money. We're responsible for its distribution. We look for people with imagination. We really look for someone with interest. If we attract someone who shows an interest in our business, we see that that interest is encouraged and developed. In fact, it's cherished almost. Where is it going to go in the future? We like to think up. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Yep. Um, I still don't know if I've seen this or not. I feel like I haven't. Um, at least with uh the show. I think I've seen it when I just watched it individually. But, um, everybody's so polite because that's a Canadian film. It's all about Canadian insurance. And let me tell you, AV Geeks pays entirely too much money in insurance for different things. business insurance, liability insurance, errors and emissions insurance, insurance on the house, extra insurance related to um what we're doing in the house. It's just a big pain in the butt. I hate it. Um this next film I have not seen and I'm excited. It does look like it has some weird moisture damage to it, but it's still an awesome soundtrack uh given what I've seen of it. uh and an awesome um topic. This is another career film and so maybe general insurance is not for you, but perhaps a career in modeling is for you. Enjoy. [Music] Hi. How long have you been here? >> Oh, I don't know. Quite a while, I guess. Meet you after. Okay. Will you all get into position now, please? We're going to do an exercise for relaxation. Stretch back as far as you can. Come down. Relax. >> Would you like to come in and sit down? >> I'm interested in becoming a model. >> What's your name? >> My name is Lilyang. >> Lily Yang. I'm Mrs. Stamp. Lily, >> you're interested in a basic modeling course? >> Oh, yes, I would be. We have a 12week course and this consists of a class in diet and exercise, four classes in walking, five classes. >> Have you been following your diet sheet? >> Well, yes, but I find it hard at times. >> It is, but if you get into a routine of doing it, it becomes part of your day. You become much feel you feel much better. For one thing, if you get eaten with proper foods at the proper times, you can work much better and you know, everything will just work out from there. >> Let's say you're with a group of friends and you decide to go to a restaurant or somewhere out to eat. >> Mhm. >> And everyone, you know how it is. They chips and a Coke or something to >> What do you do? >> They're not modeling. You are. At the end of this time, you go into review. you're reviewed by Betty Mil, the head of the agency. >> I wish that um there was a really nice easy magic formula about what makes a good model. There are a lot of simple rules of thumb, you know, physical prerequisites where a girl falls into categories or types and this will follow the sort of work she will do. The usual ones that you have, you have a junior and her height would be 5'5. Height is tremendously important in a model. Um, she can be 5'5 as a junior, which means it's rather 17 magazine. She's cute and she smiles and she's got great white teeth and round eyes. >> Well, we've scheduled you into the class tomorrow night and we'll see you then. >> Oh, uh, 6:45, isn't it? >> The next category is about 57. You call her a Missy or a junior miss. And she has the same kind of face, a little more mature. She looks about 22 perhaps. Then you have which is always considered the best of all possible worlds or the top echelon in a model of sophisticate and she should be anywhere from about 5'8 510 now 5'11 even with very hollow cheekbones and a more exotic sort of face. >> Now girls before we start our 10 posing classes I'd like to find Linda. Well, I guess it was about a month ago now. Um, I did some work for a photographer friend of mine and he suggested that I take a course. So, here I am. >> And how about you, Connie? >> Gee, I guess ever since I was old enough to first start reading a fashion magazine, I had a dream of becoming a model. When I finally had an opportunity to move to a larger city, then my dream could come true. >> Great. Let's say >> uh I started with a little bit of modeling in Copenhagen and um I came over here about one year ago. >> To become a successful model, you need talent, appeal, and training. A reputable school in modeling will assess your potential and choose your courses. >> Lizzy, how are you coming along on your diet? >> Since your physical appearance is of primary importance, it must be properly cared for. You will learn to sit, stand, walk, put on makeup, dress, sleep, and eat. >> Okay. [Music] >> Many girls hope to become models. And although only a few of them actually succeed, the training received is valuable to any girl, regardless of her final profession. >> Hello girls. >> Welcome to your first of five makeup classes. My name is Dale. Would you introduce yourselves? Christina. >> Okay. Could we have Christina on the scales first, please? >> Yeah. Push them down forward. That's it. >> 118. >> Okay. And Janice [Music] 110. >> Okay. Good. No one has a weight problem. Okay. Tonight, we're going to go into proper skin cleansing. We'll get to picking out your foundation base and probably a powder. Most of you are probably using soap on your face now, which will not get into your pores and clean out the modeling slap that you'll have to use. So, you'll have to invest in a cleansing line, which includes the cleanser itself, your stringent protection cream, which goes on before your foundation, and a night cream. Okay. Now, the way to use your cleansers are in the direction of these arrows on the diagram. >> Some models have become famous as personalities and may be strikingly unusual, but these are rare. You must learn to be versatile in looks and attitude to adapt to the type of job. >> You will depend at times on aids such as hair pieces, spectacular makeup, false eyelashes, and many other secrets models use to look beautiful. darkness under there. Now the shading is worked under the bone. Bring it up and round. >> What do you think, girls? >> Fantastic. Joanna, >> your clips. >> Oh, [Music] [Music] well, you all look like that in a couple months. Keep practicing. [Music] The number is 681. Available in 29 different colors of leather as well as the color you're seeing right now. The wholesale clothing showrooms employ the most models. Fast changes, attractive poses, the ability to show the clothes to their best advantage along with some knowledge of the merchandise may all be required of the showroom model. >> But along with this comes steady employment in many cases, although it could also include some typing and answering the telephone. >> And this is available in many different colors. [Music] There are many different types of modeling jobs. There are runway models, photographic models, showroom models, catalog models, and models for television commercials, even if only their hands are used. [Music] In your best times, you may be working 18 hours a day. You may also go 3 months without a job. The pay can be very good, but it is rarely assured. Another factor to consider if you are interested in making a career in modeling is that your working years are limited. A model who keeps her looks may work up to the age of 30. [Music] Okay, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Loretta, you're down there, Patty. Come in here and get Loretta seat. Now, David, you're right up in here. You see? >> Catalog modeling is the bread and butter of the trade. It requires many different kinds of models, children, teenagers, sophisticates, men, older women, all sorts who must stand on the set without moving and put across the look of whatever they might be wearing. Out of each six shots, five must be good. This is important because the customer never sees the actual garment, only the pictures in the catalog. The main purpose, regardless of the type of job, is to sell. Clothing, cosmetics, cars, food, just about anything. To do this, you must not override your work with your personality. The public should be more interested in the product than in you. [Music] Hey, let's try a Right. Remember now on three. >> One, two, three. >> Most people wonder what an agent does and that always reminds me of the Hollywood image in grade B movies that we're villains and we take 10% and that's all an agent does. >> When is the audition? >> I suppose most important part of your job is getting the girl work. >> Hello. Hi Les, how are you? >> Good. >> Yeah. >> Tomorrow location. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Where are you doing it? >> Scarbor bluffs. >> What is it? Fashion. Reasonably high fashion. Two girls and one man. Okay. You have to send it to the right people who would probably like her type best to begin with. Once she starts getting her feet wet and gains a little more confidence, it becomes much easier for her. But it's most important how you sell her. >> Somebody with dark hair for a good contract. >> Then of course you look after her negotiations for her money because talent is very bad at that. And you look after her bookings, more or less traffic, managing her day. And there are so many bits and pieces as to what an agent does for the model. She sort of has a place to come home to, I suppose. >> Who was in here the other day that long? >> Ellen Jordan was good. >> Robin Warren. They're saying sprinkles. They sound really [Music] >> They told me it's just fine today. Just a minute. By the way, I got the models in today. We're probably gonna have to shoot them anyway. Would you hold on for a minute, please? Hi, Diana. Hi, Cladette. >> Well, look, we're gonna have to probably take the shots anyway today. >> The weather is bad, but uh we may have Did you bring the panned outfit? >> I think the van is coming. Let's get going, man. [Music] >> Oh, look. It's It's clearing up. >> Hey, too bad, eh? >> Wow. It's going to clear up. >> It was [Music] Although some of the jobs are exciting, others are dull and tedious, it is all work. You will require a specialized knowledge of how to deal with the photographer or the fashion coordinator or the salesman to come up with the image he wants to put across. This can cause quite an emotional strain switching from one personality to another sometimes in a matter of minutes physically too. This begins to show in a model after a few years. >> Actually, I do enjoy modeling. Well, I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it. Uh I think most girls get involved in the sense that they find it very difficult once you really establish establish yourself and get going to find anything to how you say top it. There are um certain jobs that all of us do not enjoy. For example, doing fashion shows. Nobody can possibly imagine what goes on behind the scenes. That is where we change, where we um put on our makeup, etc. Uh during a fashion show, we have approximately a minute to change. Uh take your clothes off plus get into the other one. You have approximately three dressers and there's millions of people backstage. You have hairdresser, you have someone to dress you, you have the shop owner there, etc. And it gets very confused and very congested. And I have to say I've experienced a few fashion shows where it's been almost humiliating in the sense that there you you are so much of a mannequin. You are nothing more nothing less than a mannequin. I mean you are to show the garment to the best of your ability. It doesn't matter who you are, what you feel, you have to sell that garment. It's not you that's important. It's that garment. >> Where am I going to get you a drink from? >> Okay. >> How do you like my trunk? Ridiculous. >> They have to be ridiculous. I have to exaggerate it to, you know, get the hair. >> No, really. You have to see. Maybe a little better. >> Oh, you're kidding. >> Brings me bring the horned one forward. Can I have my hat, please, Miss? >> I think I'm in love with >> Don't lie to her. >> I've never seen anybody look like you do right now. You've been great. [Music] I think most of us get involved in the feeling that we have uh during photography, the rapport we develop with the photographer. We're not limited. We just constantly project whatever you feel in that certain garment as opposed to uh being limited solely to selling the garment. You can express what you feel and it's beautiful. [Music] She's got to be one of the most responsible people in the world. She still has to be somewhat creative. She has to be malible in taking direction. And she has to have the stamina of a Dre horse. And this is so incredibly true because you're drooping and all of a sudden you pull yourself together because you've got to look absolutely super. Most girls going into it don't realize this. And my advice to any girl who wants to go into modeling, she must realize that it is a full-time career and accept so many of the responsibilities involved in it and that it is very hard work. [Music] Thanks everybody. everybody for uh the donations. Uh thank you Jeremy, thank you Zyman, thank you um Gabriel, I guess complaining about having to pay all this money and insurance. Um you are helping soften the blow. So thank you for those uh donations. Uh yeah, that modeling career film was pretty great, pretty hip in the beginning, but [Music] Have you ever sat in a coffee house and rested for a while from the labors of the day? with the aroma of coffee around you and a waiter nearby to keep all the cups filled with a clock on the wall ticking away the minutes. And then from outside you hear the muted motor of a passing car, the cry of a street vendor and the cheers of children at play. You hear men like yourself discussing the news in bits and snatches. Leaders of countries in this part of the world are preparing for the next meeting of our treaty organization. Sometimes the voices are raised and harsh. Why do our governments have to warn us about making mutual defense agreements? >> And sometimes you hear wise words like those of the shake who often helps his friends understand problems by telling them the old stories of Nasaredin Ocha. >> Come now Hamid. Perhaps our governments enter treaty organizations because they know of a danger that confronts us. Perhaps they had seen a war elephant headed in our direction. >> Our country isn't in any danger. We don't have to make any preparations or treaties. >> Offendi, what did you mean by saying that the threat to our country might be like a war elephant headed in our direction? I was thinking of a famous old story Bhan about the time when Nasaredin Hocha was urging all his friends to unite against a common enemy and what happened when they did not choose to listen. There was a time in his long and busy life when Nasuredin Hoer thought he would try to sell pickles. That is why one sunny day found him outside the great gate of the emperor's palace calling out the wonders of his pickle baron. But every place that Nasered stopped to call out his wares, his donkey started to braise so loudly that no one heard the hocher's call. Finally, the hocher turned to his donkey. Who is selling the pickles? You or I? Just at that moment, a party of the emperor's guards appeared at the palace gate with an official announcement. And the Hocher's first thought was to hide his barrel before all his pickles were sampled by royal non-paying customers. The official announcement was a warning that the emperor's most dangerous war elephant had escaped from its keepers and was now at large in the countryside. [Music] Furthermore, the public should be warned that this war elephant can kill a man at sight. [Music] [Music] As soon as he got home, Nasuredin told his friends of the terrible danger that was on the loose. But most of the villagers were not even sure what an elephant was. So they could not share the hocher's worry about the harm a fierce war elephant would do. So each one refused to stop his everyday activities. or to think about protecting the village. [Applause] [Music] Ah, but the war elephant did come to the Hoochers's village, and since every man alone was helpless against the beast, and no mutual defense had been prepared against it, the villagers were completely conquered. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] in vain. They tried to live their lives as they used to. But now they were at the mercy of the emperor's elephant. [Music] [Applause] [Music] In time things got so bad in the village that the hoochers friends risk their lives to gather together and make plans. Nasuredine assured them that while each could do nothing alone against such an enemy, together they might have a chance. [Music] And so the day came in the village when the war elephant was opposed from all directions at once with the combined wit and resources of many angry men. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] And the day followed not long after when the emperor's elephant went back to the palace, held in check by many ropes, any one of which he might have snapped like a straw. but altogether holding him in line like the meakest lamb. [Music] And so it is today. When people or countries make plans together for their mutual defense, each one of them is protected by the strength of all against the evils and dangers of the world. Nasuredin Hocha believe this. It is something to think about. [Music] All right. Now I can see the waveform and it's green which tells me that I hit uh the mute off. Anyways, um modeling film was great. Thanks everybody for donating. Jeremy Zimman, uh, Gabriel, um, Hocha, and then a real elephant. We love it. A real marionette elephant.
