Raiding Shot-for-shot
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation
Jim Windolf tells the charming story of the quest of three kids from Mississippi to create a shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark. In 1982, the VCR-less preadolescent cinephiles began compiling a list of 649 shots from the movie using an illicitly recorded audio tape, a novelization, and a comic book. There were boulder problems from the beginning: a bamboo-and-cardboard model wouldn’t fit out a door, a weather balloon sagged, and a chicken-wire rendition blew away in a hurricane. But after seven years, an on-set love affair, and a location shoot on a submarine, the 100-minute Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation finally wrapped. Now 14 years later, it’s a hit at festivals and on the Internet, and the guys have talked with producers about turning the “making of” story into a movie.

Grassroots Radio
There is a low power FM “micro-radio” movement (in case you hadn’t heard) and Radio4All gives you access to the movement, downloadable (free!) audio and some of the stations.
Some of the audio comes from the LA Sound Posse who record and make available such items as Vandana Shiva’s lecture at Scripps College last December on “Real Wealth, Real Poverty: How Economic Globalization is Robbing the Poor of Wealth.”
Listen, learn and act, people! :)
