Real2Reel Vol2 videos available now

13-09-2004 17:40

Video
OUT NOW - R2R VOL2

It's been over a year since the release of the first compilation of Real2Reel videos. Now a second volume is available and feature 14 videos produced between September 2003 and September 2004. All the content is provided under the Creative Commons licence which means you are free (and encouraged) to copy and distribute the content as long as it isn't done for commercial purposes. Most of these videos have been available to download as modem friendly, low bandwidth versions from Indymedia UK. However, now they are available as a screening quality PAL MPEG1 VCD, which is compatible with most DVD players. The CD is also PC FRIENDLY and HTML enriched to provide access to additional content such as audio files.

It's been a difficult period for Real2Reel. We had our nice big external hard drive blown up at DSEi, our camera and all it's accesories stolen the day before an eviction attempt at the Wombles occupied social centre and then our minidisc recorder stolen at another social centre. But somehow, we've manged to continue covering grassroot direct action and protest in one form or another. We hope to get more focused in the near future and put together some more indepth issue based stuff as well as our more usual feel good shorts. Hope you find them useful...

Our website can be found via www.real2reel.co.nr where you can find out further information about Real2Reel. To get in touch, email  real2reel@riseup.net or phone phone 07050 618445.
