Actually the Chuck Workman film is called "Precious Images" (-but Derann called it "Reflections USA")

Precious Images

Pieces of Silver was produced by Kodak. Derann also sold it and described it like this:

"PIECES OF SILVER Made by Kodak to celebrate 100 years of film production this short celebrates with a collection of fast moving clips. 1 x 200`. Col. Price Code E"

I understand the confusion! I saw "Silver" at CineSea last time and it reminded me a lot of "Images".

Thank you David! Fingers crossed here!

Steve, I was under the impression that Chuck made/edited this piece for Kodak

Evan,

I did some research and your impression is good! Chuck Workman did "Pieces of Silver" for Kodak a couple of years after "Precious Images".

-I should have suspected as much: when I saw "Pieces of Silver" I noticed there were at least a few of the little snips that were identical.

Let's put it this way too: If you managed to find "Precious Images" (or "Reflections USA" in Derannese) instead, you'd be happy with that too.

No word from David yet, so I am still looking

Steve, I have seen his other shorts and definitely enjoyed his edits. I recognized a few similarities in his cuts as well. However Pieces of Silver has to be my favorite from him

I believe I may have this on S8 on a full 200ft reel. If I do it will probably go into eBay soon so I will post a link if that's the case

Hey Alan,

Thanks! I've been keeping an eye on it. I actually sent the seller a message a few days before the listing asking him about it (since he posted another Chuck edit). He implied that he had it and might sell one day..... then it went up! I messaged him again but unfortunately he did not want to even consider a buy it now price.

Could anyone give me an idea of what a fair price for this title should run me?

Also, please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that there may be prints of this title floating around with poor sound. (I think I read multiple posts regarding that concern)

Thanks!

The sound on mine is a bit on the "muffled" side. Not the best sound from Derann!

Evan. I believe I did ! Wouldn't be so rude as to ignore it

Just checked. Apologies. What I did was reply to the email I was sent which turned out to be the forum alerting me to your PM! So it turns out I replied to myself not to you!!!!!
