FightNight 1982 - Video/Visuals @ Boston Garden

Video/Visuals has been best known for large screen video projection. Starting in '72, we operated large screen projectors for more different kinds of events than all others - Data display, medical events, often inventing the wheel as we went along. Before cable-tv, closed-circuit sports was big, and we became the leading equipment provider in New England, topping 100 projectors in 35 venues for the Surgar Ray - Marvin Hagler bout. A few years before that, this "day in the life video" is of a Holmes heavyweight fight that we provided ten New England venues with videoprojection for the boxing match, including arenas like the Boston Garden. The morning starts with General Mgr/VP Tom Nickel and Equipt. Mgr. Dana Baum loading out of the shop on Chapel St. in Newton. Mark Brody is helping Tony Leto load another van. Stills are of engineering tech's Trevor Clark and Harvey Glew. Freelancer & old friend Phil Worrell taking scaffold to his venue (Springfield Civic Ctr.?) Stephen Glinner checks out (Dana kissing Barb and Becky in bkgnd!) then the camera crew follows Mark and me to the Garden, where we set up 4 Kloss NovaBeams. I still find that a stretch, but they loved it. Fortunately, this didn't last too long before Aquastars, then Barco Vstar5's, and the rest is history ... thanks to Bobby Manosky and Ellen Sanders Glinner for making the video almost 30 yrs ago.
