This is just an idea right now... but we may end up doing it in one form or another.
Milissa needs to make some footage of her process for GAS... an hour and a half demo doesn't cut it for her when a piece can take well over 3 months to make. So we have this camera, and a couple of different ways to go about filming different parts of the process so the demo doesn't just cover the torch work... which she deams as boring... and it can be.
I know both Sizelove and Goldschmidt both have a DVD on goblets... which I highly recomend... I haven't seen either one... but both guys are pretty good flameworkers. These are relatively new DVD's... so people who have been bugging me about good goblet vids should buy these.
My most exciting video moment happened down in Penland (a long time ago)where I found a tape of Kurt Wahlstabh working. I watched it a bunch and when I got home I attempted to start playing with neon tubing and whatever softglass I could get my hands on. It did not go well for me and I lost interest until last summer. I got a chance to work with Wahlstabhs student and I learned alot of what I couldn't from that video.
Now, I was thinking maybe doing a "basics of" approach to softglass tubing. For a couple of reasons I am liking this idea. There isn't any video out there that you can get (to my knowledge) that covers this area of flameworking. And the other reason is because the Lauscha tubing is the shiznit and doesn't get brought up in our scene all that much. Even the other veteran flameworkers look at me like I'm crazy when I say it takes me a few hours to make a tumbler with the shit... but the glass is superior in it's look... and if you're really interested in going crazy with the montage techniques... this is your glass.
Well, it is a thought anyway. I was kind of hoping to team up with Marcie Davis and see what she thinks, since she's already trying to promote the glass. I haven't heard back from her on it yet so I might just have to make a free online thingy.
