You have to do your own cut-and-paste on these, but hey: "we all sing" on this one! WHAT TO DO Determine whether you reside in Canada, the US, or Australia. * USA: All Tapetree Leaves in the USA will be assigned to subdub sites by Cindy Loiselle, who will centralize and rationalize the process according to your technical needs, the copy capacity of the various sites, and geographical proximity. Email to Cindy Loiselle at: cindy@aai.com stating (i) the technical specs for the kind of tape you want (SVHS, VHS, Hi8, Beta), stereo or mono; (ii) the State you reside in. Cindy will reply by sending you the surface mail address of the subdub site to which you are assigned. You will then send two blank T120 tapes in a self-addressed, *stamped* return mailer to that address. Please be considerate and use decent quality tape. Your return mailer should carry *stamps* for the postage required for the level of service you prefer. Metered postage stickers are strictly speaking only valid on the date they are issued. I strongly recommend that you buy a #5 padded mailer for your return mailer, and use 2nd day Priority for both legs of the journey. The two tapes plus mailers and inserts do come in under the 2 lb weight limit, so the postage is the basic Priority stamp @ $2.90. For the outgoing trip to your subdub, you can either use a #6 or 7 padded mailer, or perhaps easier, one of the Priority Mail envelopes available at the Post Office. ** CANADA Canadian participants have one additional consideration. The Tapetree has one VHS stereo site ready to go right away (Tippi Chai), but with relatively low capacity. If for one reason or another it is urgent that you get your tape ASAP, then email Cindy Loiselle at the same address: cindy@aai.com and indicate that you are in Canada. Cindy will put you in contact with Tippi Chai on a first-come, first-served basis, up to his site capacity. Follow the same procedure as outlined for the USA: send him two blank T120 tapes in a self-addressed stamp return mailer, with postage for the level of service you require. If you can deal with getting your tape just before Katemas, the Tapetree has virtually unlimited capacity in Canada due to the generosity of David Zimmerly and the company he works for, who are allowing him to use professional equipment to dub directly from a BetaCAM master provided by Chris Williams. David is on vacation until July 25, but can reply to email starting July 18 or 19. If you need SVHS, Beta, or 8mm mono in Canada, or if you want to get your copy from a BetaCAM submaster and can deal with the delay--or if you wanted to get an early copy via Tippi Chai and Cindy Loiselle reported him closed--send email to David Zimmerly at: am672@FreeNet.Carleton.CA Because David is using professional, high capacity company equipment (with his boss's blessing) and needs to be sure that only quality blank stock runs over the heads, FOR THIS SUBDUB SITE ONLY there is a special procedure. Once David has sent you his surface address, you will send him an SAS return mailer with postage for two T120 tapes (plus the weight of the mailer and five sheets of paper). But *instead of mailing him blank tape stock*, you will send him a money order for $16 <Canadian obviously> to cover the cost of blank tape and time on the pro dub machines. Please use money orders or other demand instruments (certified checks, bank drafts, etc.), not personal checks! And not cash! If you want to get your copy through David Zimmerly, go ahead and send email right away. Just be aware that he will not reply until after July 18, and that he will make his production run July 25. While waiting to get his address back, you can get your tapes, mailers, and money orders ready. AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND Many thanks to Graham Dombkins for being available to serve the tapetree needs in Oz, and to Chris Williams for making an ad hoc master to PAL. Graham has high capacity, but can only make VHS mono. If you want stereo, you'll need to have NTSC playback capability and to be willing to buy the postage both ways to use one of the North American subdub sites. For PAL, however, you'll have the advantage of a direct mastering from 3/4" PAL originals that have not gone through conversion. Send email to Graham at: GRAHAM.G.R.DOMBKINS@msm.bhp.com.au He will reply with the surface mail address to use, and after that the same procedure as in the US will apply: you will send him your two blank tapes in a SAS return mailer. END OF ANNOUNCEMENT Note that while the Tapetree schedule has been set to ensure that all Leaves arrive by Katemas, *you have a lot to do with that by the level of postal service you pre-pay for the SAS return mailer!* All of us in Dispatch and Production will do our level best to turn your tapes around quickly, but we won't be able to add postage to upgrade your return service. Especially for the USA, the $2.90 for Second Day Priority is a good investment. I hope I have been clear enough to avoid confusion. But if anyone anywhere doesn't understand what to do next, feel free to email me directly. THIS TAPETREE CLOSES MONDAY, JULY 25, 1994. No one who has not been assigned a subdub site by that date can be served. There will be one BRIEF second Announcement of the Tapetree Sunday, July 17. If you are reading this and are interested, *save this message now*. Let hundreds of lovehounds rejoice together on Katemas 1994! ............................................................................
