Voyaging in the MacroDimensions NEW RELEASES
Many years ago, back in 1971, before there were videocams and long before there was digital, we purchased an ENG -- Electronic News Gathering video system, like the kind used by the local TV stations and some networks. The unit weighed upwards of 30 pounds, and the battery likewise. One person carrying and handling the 20 pound video camera, the other carrying the giant "portable" helical-scan 1/2" tape recorder.
The sun could burn out your camera's vidicon tube. You couldn't make a video in low light, and movement tended to blur. Breakup of the image was normal in this unit, and you'll see lots of it, especially at the beginning of each tape.
Many of the earlier videos were experimental, trying to find out what the camera and recorder could capture. We bought two studio type cameras and a larger Sony video recorder for the house. The portable ran on batteries, the larger units did not.
Several of the videos were made at Red House, mostly in 1971 and early 1972, when we left Crestline for Cowichan Centre for Gestalt Learning, in Duncan, British Columbia, at the request of Fritz Perls, Ray Walker and Sarah Warsher.
Movements Montreal was filmed in Montreal, under the direction of Ray Walker and Al Rose. The Dirty Dick Cavity Show was originally some 30 videos, almost all of which are now lost -- this single video is all that remains of many hours of group work. Keep in mind that these videos were made long before there was any way to edit them, and to preserve the magic, no editing has been done on them.
These important archival historical videos are, for the first time, available to you, and they have been digitally remastered and are now available in DVD format. Prices vary according to how many DVD disks are in the set, as stated in the descriptions. Contact Marvette or Yanesh for pricing information and reseller rates if you are a retailer or vendor.

The Revealing Science of God
An experimental video using monitor feedback into a vidicon tube, with special audio track.
"In a land long ago I use to listen hour long tapes. Rates of passage or blue smoke were two that would take me out or in quite far. I would bring as much attention as I could ever sounds in the music. Let it change what it needed to be change in me. This was a very powerful and very effective way to work which I miss it greatly. Revealing the science of god DVD is first thing to replace this type of work in a long time. Since times have change to take a hour long work time in the old style is just not really possible but 20 mins is much more manageable. Mandala lovers might really appreciate this video effects on this DVD. EJ reads from spontaneous surrender and there is music. I do feel obligated to mention that this DVD was confrontational to me at times and it is very experimental and it may not be to everyone's taste but for others missing this type of work it might be just the thing for you. -- K.M."

There are additional videos that might or might not have undergone the transformation to digital, and they will be checked into at the earliest opportunity. In my experience, the only way these videos will survive is if folks order them. Marvette only produces when she sees an invoice, an admirable trait.
