I’ve finally digitized my poor VHS copy of the Kermit Keeshan mini-documentary I did back in early 2003. As I’ve written about before on here, the original DV copy and footage had been lost, and one surviving VHS copy remained. I discovered this afternoon that the VHS copy had been damaged, as some of the videotape had been snagged. Fortunately, only the last few seconds of the project were lost. But I took that as a sign that I needed to get the thing digitized and preserved.

Since it is a VHS copy, I cleaned up a few things, like the titles and the warped sound at the end as the tape enters the damaged portion. I’m frustrated with this project, because I remember talking to Kermit about the idea, choosing to do the project, and then discovering that he left town until the day before it was due. It was embarrassingly rushed, and I wish it was better, but that guy you see talking is undeniably the Kermit I knew – sassy, mischievous and proud.
