ahhh, the stuff of my favorite nightmares! it is really satisfying to hear daniel gush over my work!! also a 8MB windows media version here.
i found this great public domain footage of coney island in 1952 on archive.org, already it had a slight seedy edge. i was mostly after the great animatrons and dark clowns of which there were many! a carousel caliope soundtrack and a touch of cannibol effects and woohah! clik the pic to check out the 6.65MB quicktime clip

or a big 27 MB widows media version
or a 9 MB real player version
there's even a quick alice animatron if you watch close. the dodo and the white rabbit!
i've been dying to see the 1911 and 1915 silent versions of alice in wonderland i guess for $7 you can download it and more at movieflix.
and check out the awesome art of daniel martin diaz and his and paulas band blind devine

Many Thanks!
The Coney Island piece brought back amazing memories for me. I was a kid in the `50s and I loved it when my parents took me to Coney Island. We went twice a year.July 27 2005, 17:35:46 UTC 6 years ago
Re: Many Thanks!
i wish there was such footage of our local vintage park, euclid beach. it was torn down in the 70's. but i guess caliopes were the techno of the day, replacing real musicians, haha.July 27 2005, 16:26:24 UTC 6 years ago

Re: both are....
i haven't been to coney island since the 70's and it was perfectly seedy then, the rumour is mcdonalds owns it now :( ~~you need an encoder like canopus procoder, it can make web versions for all the players or vcd's. 30 minutes is prolly a huge file.
