Hi everyone,

I'm production manager in a French documentary production company called La Générale de Production.
We're now editing a documentary about the Geek Culture for the franco-german cultural channel ARTE (kind of an European PBS).
It's a 52' documentary about the "geek" culture since the seventies until today. It's the story of a triumph: how the "geek" became very popular in cultural and economical domains.
Our purpose is to show a very positive image of the geek culture.

In order to do that, we would like to use two old Nintendo commercials:
Nes:

Game and Watch:

The problem is that we couldn't find them in a good quality (VHS rip at least)

Is anybody have them or know where I can find them?

It would be very helpful.

Best regards,

François

Your documentary is going to be fifty-two feet long?

I believe he means 52 minutes, using longitude and latitude notations or angle shorthand. ;)

Good luck on your search.

This is cool, please post a link when it is finished!

About the video-I am sure somebody has to have it around here somewhere.

Excuse me, but I answer to my fellow

Bonjour, il faut que j'aille sur un forum US pour trouver une demande d'un français ...
Ne sait tu pas qu'il existe une solide communauté Française du Retrogaming qui pourras peut être te fournir ce que tu demande ... des asso comme Mo5.com ou Silicium
Mais peut etre leur as tu déjà demandé ?

Bonjour,

Evidemment, je suis en contact avec Mo5. Par contre, je n'ai pas demandé à Silicium. Je le fais de ce pas.
Merci pour le tips ;)

No problem, I'll let you know.
I'm not so optimistic, I'm looking for those videos for weeks....
Let's hope ;)
