Sam Maitin's wife, Lilyan, called me several months ago and asked if I
could help her find a video production place that would put together a
video from footage I took during Sam's 40 year retrospective at the
Woodmere Museum in Chestnut Hill. I had worked on a video from my
footage (H8 video, not professional) at Plymouth Meeting High School
at the time during the summer months and the teacher put the final
work on a 1" video and also on regular video. This was back in 1994.
I still have the original High 8 video tapes and the 1" tape. Lilyan
wanted to redo the video to improve and make some edits.
Do you know if anyone at the university would be interested in working
with this material for the Maitin family? Sam had taught at the
University as well as attending as a young man and had done alot of
pro bono art for many organizations in the city of Philadelphia. I
don't have the know how or access to do the edits for her. I believe
that if it was done more professionally, it might work on Channel 12
to honor this very Philadelphia artist. However, I don't know if the
quality would be good enough for broadcast. If not, it might be used
for teaching purposes about print art.
Any suggestions for a commercial video company that would not be too
expensive but good quality in Center City that would be able to
transfer the video and do the edits would be appreciated as Lilyan
still lives down town.
