VIDEOS
There are quite a few videos scattered throughout the
site. This page has links to all of them. And no they don't stream - you have to do it the old school way, 'save as' to your computer and play locally although some players might do it in a browser window. This stuff is vintage :)
Technology has changed a lot since most of these clips were made. It used to be hard to do and the results were, well, let's just say not of cinematic quality. Now I just keep them on the site for historical purposes. File sizes are listed because back in the days of dialup it mattered. More recent stuff is on YouTube, just search for Palatov.
I still get a nostalgic kick out of the 'official' video below though. Brings back some memories.
