A/V Disco

Reminder to myself to watch this documentary from the late 1970s about small urban spaces.

Just what I needed for this solitary Saturday: an understandable explanation of vectorscopes, with some 80s fabulousness thrown in.

This was made for students taking the upcoming Maryland School Assessment Tests at George Washington Elementary School in Baltimore, MD. 

Very cute video and good for the kids, etc., etc. I find it interesting that the Baltimore City Public Schools decided to copyright this video, despite its obvious “fair use” of the Wiz Khalifa song. They should have looked into the whole Creative Commons thing. I guarantee that they will not be taking measures to preserve this video, and it would be hard to convince any archive or library to do so. Yet this video is obviously something that should be preserved. [Sigh]
