We've done a multi-media simulation on the early industrial history of the American film. It's called MOGUL and is based on the rise of Adolph Zukor. We did the development on videodisk (for film images) and a dedicated hard disk, using Macintosh technology. It's currently being ported to CD-ROM and should be available to others in ca. 6 months or so. This term, in the introductory film aesthetics course, the students are doing their term papers on Word 5.1 for Macintosh and are embedding Quicktime video excerpts as "video footnotes." Finally...maybe...we can beat the problem of quotation in film writing. (I keep wondering why so few of the films described by Kracauer actually look like he remembers them.) We tried this technique in a course in Film Images of African-Americans, taught jointly by Anthropology and Communication last term, and it worked quite well with 15 volunteers. Now we're doing it with 65 students as a normal part of the course. Each student is lent a high-capacity SyQuest cartridge, and in essence has a portable hard-disk. Next year, we will be able to network the improved version of Quick-Time, promised soon from Apple, and we will try to have available for the class. One problem with this technology is the difficulty of answering the inevitable student question "how long should the paper be." I suggested ca. 30-40 megabytes of text and image (images eat lots of bytes) but it was not a very informed guess. -Henry Breitrose Stanford
