I have created a YouTube channel and will post some rather unique things over time. There is a few electronical videos on there already but my latest video is kinda timely since it is related to Apollo 11.
This was video taped at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama, billed as Earths Largest Space Museum on the 30th Anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the Moon.
Featured are the Interior of the full scale Lunar Lander model and the inside of the Engine Compartment at the bottom of of a real Saturn Five Booster Stage complete with F1 engines installed.
I was working doing the lighting for the space museum celebration of the 30th anniversary of the first manned landing on the moon by Apollo 11, so I had total access to the space hardware to mount the lighting.
Taped in July 1999 on Hi8 video tape and transferred digitally 20 years later in July 2019

That was really cool! Never been to that space museum, but I've been to quite a few. Have you been to the one in Pensacola? It's really nice.
I can't believe you got to climb around inside there. Very cool. It looked so.... military.
Watched the video on July 4th, too. Looks like a nice little fireworks show. I wish those community happenings were still small and fun around here. You have to fight with, literally, a million other people to do anything.
You have a really cool job. Looks fun.

Big Concert style Spotlight and the operating controls, Lycian 1290xlt A large 2000 watt Zenon Spot Light in a 2000 seat Theater. This light is used or all types of performances including . . . Concerts, Broadway shows, Dance recitals or any other thing that may be on stage. The operating controls are explained with a small demonstration. This spotlight is a Lycian 1290 XLT in the Von Braun Center, Huntsville Alabama. The XLT means it is made for eXtra Long Throw, the distance to our stage is about 125 feet from the spotlight. 7 minutes

Cool video. I spend a lot of time in theaters as my oldest acts/sings in musical theater and performs with an orchestra. Don't tell her, but I often let my mind wander to all of the "out of public view" things that make a production work. Al

Michael Jackson's first use of Pyro during a Performance with Jackson Five
This was Filmed on Super 8mm silent film sometime around 1978 in Memphis Tennessee. I was working for a Pyro Company called Luna Tech which also did some lighting in their early days. We provided a small amount of lighting for the show, but we were there mainly to provide a Live Demonstration of the types of pyrotechnics that were available from our company. This was my camera and film. It was transferred to VHS video around 1995 and then transfered to Digital in July 2019. --- No Audio ---

This is very fresh. Taped it this morning 2 miles from home.
World Record 4923 Model Rockets Launched Simultaneously The U.S. Space & Rocket Center museum in Huntsville Alabama launched at the Guinness Book of World Records on Tuesday July 16 2019. Simultaneously firing 4,923 of 5,000 rockets to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch 50 years ago. 5,000 model rockets were readied, 77 did not launch, a success rate of better than 98 percent. The launch went off a couple of minutes after the scheduled launch at 8:32 a.m. , 50 years after the exact moment the Saturn V lifted from Cape Canaveral on July 16, 1969 to begin its journey to ferry the first men to the surface of the moon. The event on grounds near the museum attracted a crowd of about 2,500 spectators – including hundreds of Space Camp students, Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden, Marshall Space Flight Center Director Jody Singer and Wernher Von Braun’s daughter Margrit. The previous Guinness World Record of 4,231 model rockets were launched at Teylingen College during a European Space Science Convention in the Netherlands, in summer 2018.

I was a guest on an early morning show with Jamie Cooper and Gary Dobbs in Huntsville Alabama. This was recorded from cable TV on slow speed VHS tape sometime around 1985 with commercials and all. The show featured Odd Jobs and I was climbing TV Towers to change the lightbulbs. Very interesting show with lots of old Studio Shots.
I was 27 years old then , I'm 63 now . . .

I will eventually get around to doing some Rock Tumbling Videos Just watched the one with the rock washing sink .... that idea for using a small sieve under the drain to catch the pellets was very clever ! I thought the name "wooferhound" sounded familiar and sure enough here you are !
