Say Cheese!: Video Clips

This month's clips feature ads from May sweeps in 1998: The Bacchanalia. The first highlights scenes leading up to the ball, the second is for the prime time special (also including Elizabeth and Lucky as well as Jax and Brenda), and the third finds Mac and V investigating Katherine's (first) death.

Note: Somebody wrote in and let me know these links pointed to last month's clips. You should be able to get to the new clips now. Sorry about that! (9/23)

Somebody recently wrote in and asked why I choose only advertisements in this section. I have good intentions for including other things, but there are several reasons why, so far, we've only had ads. First, they're easy. They're easy to catch on the video tapes and they mean that I don't have to make the hard choices of picking which scene to include. They let me include a taste of a lot of things, quickly. The other consideration is size--both in terms of my account and for the individual files. Each month I post just over a megabyte of video clips alone, in the shape of three 20-second ads. If the average scene is 2 minutes, give or take, I either have to figure out where to cut or feature only one scene each month--or both. So ads have been the easy way to take a peek at lots of characters and storylines.

Below you'll find a screen capture of each clip and the link to download it. The clips are in RealPlayer format; you can download the free version of the player at real.com. You can either click on the link and your browser should download the file into a temp folder and then play it automatically, or you can "save link as" and save the movie to your hard drive. We won't be streaming the video in the forseeable future, since it costs a little more.
