In February I spent two and a half days at HawkEye Picture tube in Des Moines, Ia video taping Scott Avitt, as he worked his craft, rebuilding picture tubes. I captured 4 hours of raw, unrehersed video and have spent the last month editing and placing the final touches on the production. It is now finished and ready for prime time.
The documentry is entitled "The Craft Of Picture Tube Rebuilding... A Pilgrimage to HawkEye Picture Tube Mfg." The final edit has a run time of 1 hour 49 minutes.
This movie will be seen for the first time at it's premier at this years Early Television Foundation, convention in Hilliard, OH. May 2,3,4
If you have ever wondered how the process of picture tube rebuilding works, here's your chance to see Scotty work is magic first hand.
This will be my first year to attend the ETF convention, and I am excited about going. I hope to see many of you there.
