What home-video programs would YOU like to see? The Special-Effects LaserDisk. How various special visuals are done for films. Single-frame through the "Genesis" sequence of Startrek II or some of the complex double-exposure effects that usually go by too quickly to properly appreciate. The 1984 Olympics Album: the events of the Olympics could be packaged in a number of different ways: The Opening Ceremonies (if you have a LaserDisk, you can just have single-frames for each country during the Parade of Nations, a` la the Shuttle Archive), separate tape/disk programs for in-depth treatment of individual sports (a two-hour tape on just women's gymnastics, for example, could cover many of the fine athletes that ABC missed)... the list is endless. The "official" videotape of the Olympics promises to be a real piece of American cheese, BTW. Movies for television. Feature films often lose something (like 1/4 the picture) on the small screen, but there have been exceptional TV-movies that deserve to be sold for the home-video market. Some of these have already been marketed, but are hard to find (Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, for example); others have not yet been distributed for home sale (I'd like to see "Sybil", "Eleanor and Franklin", "The People", and probably a few more I could think up, again.) . Any more ideas? Mike trwrb!trwspp!urban
