Max my wonderful film student

-

 

At the end of the term, I like to highlight my archives student processors. Here's Max, whose done a wonderful job processing and describing moving image film this year.

I am Max Maksymowski, and I am a CMU Sophomore. I'm a Broadcasting and Cinema Arts Major and a Technical Theater Minor. I hope to work behind the camera on a television set, or to be a post-production professional.

I was hired last year as a moving film archivist. I make sure that the film I work with, Channel 9 & 10 News raw film footage, is stable and able to be archived properly. I also watch the stabilized film (film that would not fall apart or degrade) on the film projector and describe what I see so that researchers can search for it and find it in the finding aid. This year I also processed and described non-news film in the Rupp collection. (See above image.) I was very excited to get my hands on different types of film.

Outside of the Clarke, I was a sound designer for CMU's A Wrinkle in Time, and a deck crew for Young Frankenstein. Both were new experiences for me, and a lot of fun.

I had a great time this year, and I cannot wait for another.

After finishing the CMU Honors Collection (10 cubic feet) right before the start of the term, I spent much of this school year processing the remaining boxes in the C.S. Bliss collection. The portion of the collection I processed contained mostly financial and business records, including camp orders, check stubs, and bank vouchers and statements. The collection is now fully processed and includes a total of  90 cubic feet of material.                                                                ...

1979 AuSable Canoe Race Marathon

  Recently, while processing and describing Channel 9 & 10 News film footage we found a segment of the 1979 AuSable Canoe Race Marathon showing some other race activities, and some of the top finishers. Here are a few images from that segment. The last two images are, I believe, Butch Stockton (brunette) and his partner Bob Welsh (blonde)  heading towards the bank and being briefly interviewed about how sick Butch was all night. They finished fourth that year according to the race statistics. You can Google a longer video online of the end of the race at https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Ztpi6xRtZqE.  For the stats see https://www.ausablecanoemarathon.org/stats-and-history/past-race-results/.
