Film Vlog by Pappystu (PeterAppleseed Tasciotti mention)

A blast from the past! Watch this vlog posted to Utubia/tuberland, by an old friend, my Pardner Pappystu (stukeck) It's a bit nostalgic and you hadda be there.  But what we can glean from this, is there was a real community, on the internet, in Utubia.  It existed before the current pandemic and before the recent social networking craze.  We were gathering together on the new site circa 2005-2006.  Then we formed an online government/council and I was elected President... and the rest it history.  The takeover by the commercialized Youtube and Gooogul (Morgul) put a swift end to our grassroots community.  I lament that but it was inevitable.  If you are looking for any of my original 8,000 (THOUSAND) videos, they are gone, deleted, erased, as if history never happened, because the greedy power-hungry fools inside the GooTube machine DELETED all I had worked upon for TEN years.  Anyhow, that story will be told when I finish the documentary Youtubia Broadcast Yourself Community

The finished film consists of many, many little photos in sequence. To observe the film it must be put through a projector machine and the projected light beam must shine upon a white flat screen or something similar. Therefore we can compare it to video and digital technologies, finding them to be quite different. The biography of Director Tasciotti reveals that he started his career in film. In his early days he used film, as an artis

One of the newest productions to emerge from the archival treasure is Copenhagen Gems. This will be included in the soon to be released and screened MOVIES OF TASCIOTTI.  This will be available to limited audiences in New York and USA. Then to be streamed and found elsewhere. Copenhagen Gems is primarily a documentary from 2014 around the time when the tragedy of the Ukraine jet was destroyed. Copenhagen was a destination of Tasciotti's and he thoroughly enjoyed his visits thereabouts.  Denmark is a fascinating region.  What a pleasant surprise!
