So what did I do in this office space?

I schlepped in every analog machine I had access to (save my 16mm movie projector) and I had a tape converting setup, that went from deck to deck to computer and hard drive. I saw basically what was on these tapes, and dubbed when appropriate. In some cases, I repurposed the material, such as my TV documentary on circus sideshows and human oddities, intent on creating an online channel for all the many outtakes and unused material.
