I got asked some time back to do a pilot for a web-series by Fox. They were looking to do something with their old Movietone Newsreels. I pitched, essentially, the Memory Palace with images culled from the decades-long sweep of these Fox newsreels. Problem was, none of them were digitized. Best I could do was pull this story together using content from a single episode of the Newsreel. The show didn’t go. But everyone was very nice about it.
