Source: Prelinger Archive movie: farm_petroleum_safety.mpeg
This exerpt from the movie is a little science experiment showing what happens when kerosene is put on a hot plate. I really love the sound of the crowd reaction after the boom. I'm not sure if that was a live recording or a sound prop. I may use it and the boom eventually in a remix.

PUBLIC DOMAIN SOURCE FOOTAGE: Baby Crying
Source file name in Prelinger Archives: farm_petroleum_safety.mpeg This excerpt is about a baby crying and being put to sleep. In source material, this is used to sort of set a mood of family before there's a fire as they are trying to explain how to be safe with petroleum products. I like this little mood setter and may use it in some remix eventually...

Midnight Moonrunner..
This blog is NOT the same as the Midnight Moonrunner © Blog .. but that's run by me too. This blog is more or less a place for me to remix public domain works. That's more for my original and absurd works. Sometimes, it may be possible that the two will cross over a bit, in which case I might post to both... but I'm running both blogs to sort of keep each Blog seperate and sort of "clean" in that it doesn't get too far off topic and is more focused. I usually have at least 16 hours or so by myself on weekends since my wife works on weekends, so I spend that time working on these or my other blogs, or working on some other artsy project like my digital photo archives over on turbosquid. Happy viewing.
This blog is all about re-envisioning stuff...
This blog is all about re-envisioning stuff. I plan to use a lot of public domain videos and upload them here in either their base format, cut down to important parts, or as remixes with my own videos and stuff or with some combination of multiple videos to get to new theme, story, or message that the videos, images, text, or other things can give...
It's all about re-envisioning this stuff and its uses in creative ways. I've always loved directing, and thought some day I wouldn't mind doing that sort of stuff for movies or commercials... this is sort of a first step for me in that direction, but with a major amount of artistic freedom since I'm making this stuff for myself, for you, or just for art's sake rather than for some company trying to sell a certain amount of goods or whatever... it's all about artistic freedom, and re-envisioning stuff rather than re-inventing the wheel. I can't promise this stuff will all be excellent, but I will try to make it fun, or in some cases serious but with an important message... or at least worth your time to view.
All sounds, soundclips, videos and images posted here can be considered copyright Jeff Thomann. I will sometimes allow you to reuse some of this stuff for your own purposes, but you need to ask permission first. Even though some of the source material I use is Public Domain, the works that I'm creating with this stuff is NOT public domain unless otherwise stated...
The ONE EXCEPTION to this is when I post here with a Title that has the words: PUBLIC DOMAIN SOURCE FOOTAGE: - in that case the ONE scene that's posted can be considered Public Domain since it's just a cut out of a larger Public Domain Work that I re-saved. Technically, I have copyright over that since I created the cut by using my editorial powers... However, you can consider that public domain since I don't want to be a stogey old Copyright Fool and hound you about just uploading my cuts to your websites or wherever you put them when all that I did was chop out a chunk of video from a bigger public domain video.
I'm posting those to sort of break up the footage on Prelinger Archives, and from other places like Librivox, in to smaller chunks, based on individual scenes or message(s) being delivered...
These will be sort of similar to the way that a lot of companies creating commercials start with 1 minute spots and then eventually cut them down to the bare essentials for 30 second spots... which sometimes gets reused in other ads later, etc.
The stuff in Prelinger Archives, and other public domain sources that I'm looking to are sometimes long. I'm just cutting them down to their bare essentials and resaving them in a smaller format so that I can reuse them later or so that you can do so too... and the new meanings that we bring to these scenes may or may not have anything to do with the original context or message that the original work that is now in the Public Domain originally had.
Just remember, this is the ONE EXCEPTION and the stuff that isn't specifically titled: PUBLIC DOMAIN SOURCE FOOTAGE: IS Copyrighted by me, and if you use the other stuff without my permission, you are asking for a lot of trouble.
I have a sister-in-law that's a soon to be lawyer (she just took the bar exam). Her dad is one too, and my brother is planning on maybe eventually studying to be one. Besides all of that, I study law on my own as a hobby, and have a coworker that I'm good friends with that has two lawyer siblings as well...
Happy viewing.
