So, over spring break, Phil assigned each of us in class to browse through 8-10 VHS tapes that involve Picabo Street. All of them were tapes we acquired at Dee Street's house. The objective was to go through each tape and find footage that we might be able to use in the documentary.
I found some pretty good stuff. I had some tapes from the 1994 and 1998 Winter Olympics, so there were lots of things like interviews and ski runs. I made sure to record the approximate times of when they showed up in the tapes.
But then I had stuff like the 1998 Miss America Pageant! Like... what the heck? Maybe Dee just mixed up some of her personal tapes with some of the stuff from Picabo's career. It was kind of funny, but I can't say that I found tap dance numbers and 1990's haircuts super fascinating.
But the deed is done. We'll probably have to acquire rights from the Olympics organization to show some of the footage I found in our documentary, and hopefully that's not too big of a hastle.
