Thanks F.D., your great idea...way fun to do. A little harder to come up with the footage vs. the stills and hard to decide what song to set it to. I could spend days on this type of thing but will keep it short and sweet. Glad to participate in this fun project!

Thanks, can't wait to see additional versions from the community! Johnny Cash rocked...as did just about everyone in the clip...with the possible exception of H.R. Pufenstuff and me...OK just me.

H.R. Puffenstuff ruled!

Loonachic, Hey...

Footage was found through my favorite means...

Google video. Here's the thing though. It pulls Youtube and other videos into the mix, but if you find one tagged with a google video URL, some of the times it will come up with a button to allow you to save it. I usually save it a an mp4 and bring into iMovie. Unfortunately there are only a few clips done this way and many cooler clips I would have liked to use were unable to be saved.

I also have a program at work I'll get back to you on that allows you to take like "moving screenshots" used for computer onscreen tutorial type videos. It allows you to capture the video and save as quicktime.

Hopefully this helps...

Thanks for the nice comments!

There is also a great greasemonkey extension for firefox that'll download flv files from youtube. check the firefox/greasemonkey site.

Also, to convert avi/flv and other video files, i use VisualHub:
techspansion.com/visualhub/

Cool, Thanks FD! I'll check that first one out...and Loonachic I also use mpeg streamcilp to convert movies from other formats.

Thanks Scruff...can I call you Scruff???

you can call me what you like...anything except m*th*rf*ck*r... lol my name is David

Nice to meet you David!

Likewise, sir

no offense taken on my end....better is better...

Thanks so much! I think it's pretty cool that people are taking time to do these...they're all so cool and different.

Thanks again, Jay!

There are times I think it would have been cool to witness some of these epic events! Although there have been plenty in the 38 years since!

Yeah... Jimi Hendrix was pretty phenomenal.

thanks!

those clips were crazy.

Thanks, glad you liked it. Probably could have spent more time on it but wanted to keep trying to get more videos posted.

It was weird that there weren't more famous deaths that year. Hopefully that doesn't sound twisted... but just a handful of well-known people.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks...coming from such a respected Vimean (Vimeon...Vimeoite???) that is truly appreciated!

You're very welcome...glad you enjoyed it.

E.

Thank you very much!

Yeah, It would have been nice to have been old enough to remember some of it, except that would mean i'd have to be older--which is not as good. :-)

If you were old enough to live through this, its likely you don't remember much of it anyway!

Probably VERY true, bluedog! :-)
