VIDEO PREVIEW! Run 262 - February/March 2013 Issue

Wow, Rich. What a lineup!
It sounds like an All Stars group of stories and contributers including your own OGR crew.
I can't wait for Run 262.
Your video producing and narration skills are second to none also. Good job!

Excellent!

 

 

Very cool. Well done.

Excellent; outstanding video.

Happy Holidays

Saw the video, which depicted the Lionel pre-TMCC pre-DCS control system from the middle of the last century.  I remember it.  The cost was out of sight.

Is it here yet???!! Can't wait!

Very well done! Keep it up.  A first rate, professional job from content as well as presentation standpoints.  So good to listen to a pro at the mike.

Well done,Rich!!! Very nice,especially on my new MacBook Pro. What a difference from my old Windows XP. 

Awesome! I can't wait for my copy to arrive in the mail!

Rich,

 

You have done a marvelous job with the video preview.  A first class production!

 

The other magazine (no competition for OGR) pales next to your thoughtful, well presented look into the future issue.  Sure you weren't into announcing or TV in another time? Right up there with Reagan when he hosted the old West series back in the 50's.

 

Please keep these coming.  It fleshes out the magazine, (so to speak)  with the human touch.  I really enjoyed every minute of it.   

Yes, I worked in radio many years ago. I've also done a lot of voice-overs for various TV spots and corporate videos over the years. And there have been a few on-camera gigs as well, including a couple of OGR videos.

 

You are comparing me with Renaldus Magnus? Wow. That is quite an honor. I am humbled. He was by far the best president this country has had in my lifetime.

Received my magazine copy Monday.  Great issue!

Great issue!

Nicely produced video - a lot of effort had to go into it.

 

How many hours of labor does it take to put out a issue of OGR?  I'm guessing it is far more than most of us realize.

Well...let's see...I've been here more than five years now and haven't had a real break yet (unless you want to count a couple of days at York as a vacation).  It's a continuing process, with work on one issue overlapping work on the next and planning for those beyond.  And at this season of the year, with three consecutive issues and the first spring issue hot on their heels, there's not even much time for partaking in Christmas and the New Year.  Heck, I'm already thinking about what I might do for next December's issue.

 

But some issues of the magazine are easier than others, thanks to the contributions of other hobbyists who are willing to invest their time and energy in providing interesting and informative material.  Without those folks--many of whom are members of this forum--it would be more work than fun. 

 

It's something you do because you enjoy doing it, and not really for any other compelling reason.

OK Alan, what is a man hours estimate?  Just trying to really appreciate the effort it takes.   I enjoy the mag and have been a subscriber since 2003 - how many hours of work goes into my readings?  From the articles, to working with the printing press, advertisers, subscriptions sales, daily activities, etc.

 

You Alan was busy working the day I stopped in during one of Lionel's Repair seminars a few years back.  Still chuckle about when you asked me how much a plane ticket from Utah was.  I had traded a Lionel UP General that I just happened to purchase from you for my plane ticket.

I can't speak to all the production time required for the magazine, but these OGR promotional videos take 1.5 to 2 days to put together...and that is after I have already spent a day or two working up all the images for the magazine.

Rich: Like Eric's video the video for the next issue does not load or play on my iPad. Is this an issue with the iPad or with the operator?

RJT, I am able to watch these videos on my iPad and even my iPhone with no trouble at all.

 

They are just a YouTube video embedded in a forum post - nothing fancy.
