Archive footage me-Peter Heathwood 3a+b

Ok, thanks Peter. I'll get the final list to you after the weekend. I
knew such short notice would be a long shot, so no problem.

Thanks again,
Stephen



Hi Peter. If you are willing I would still very much like your help with
obtaining footage. I have been compiling a list of events that I wish
to use footage from (will complete tomorrow and forward to you).

As I mentioned before the only problem is that I only need 5-6 seconds
of footage from each of the 25-30 events, but the particulars of the
action within each 5-6 seconds is very important, as it is people's
small gestures that I wish to isolate from the footage to work with.
Given that time is short before I have to have my finished work in London I feel the most efficient way at this point would be for me to forward my list to you and then make a visit where I could look through tapes you had selected from my list. I
would be more than happy to pay £10 toward your re-archiving fund for
each hour that I was using your collection. I understand that this is asking a lot and will fully understand if you feel a visit to your collection is not appropriate. If on the other hand you were ok with this proposal, it would be incredibly
helpful if it were possible to do very soon (possibly this weekend or
within the next week, even evenings if that would suit). I can be very
flexible around your time and would be ready to catch a ferry at a
moments notice. Your continuing help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Stephen Jackson

PS.
Here is a preliminary List to give you more of an idea of the types of tapes I’m looking for. A lot of this initial list pre dates the start of your 1981-collection of news footage so I suppose would have to come from your documentary collection. It is not essential that I have footage from every date on the list, it primarily functions as a starting point to finding good 6 second clips. I would be able to forward wind quite quickly through the footage to find appropriate short sections.
