Eastlake High School drunk driving simulation 2002 (part 1)

This was sent to me by my buddy J. Campbell.

(from J. Campbell)
Eastlake High School drunk driving simulation (spring 2002). It's meant to show the devastating effects of drunk driving and neglecting safety. The only thing ruining the presentation was the officer's habit of dwelling on situation and repeating himself too many times.

This presentation is slightly over an hour long. Due to YouTube's 10 minute limit this has been uploaded here in parts.

Video artifacts caused by the use of a MiniDV camcorder in LP mode--this is why you never use "LP" mode on DV camcorders! It's unreliable!

Captured and archived spring 2002 from VHS transfer. Recaptured April 2005 when I stumbled across the original MiniDV casette I used to record this.

I don't think the video artifacts are a result of the tape being recorded in LP mode. This is likely because either the playback heads or the DV jack on the camera were dirty. I could be wrong though. I have NOT ONCE had trouble with recording DV tapes in LP mode, for professional use.

@sarahfardel Given that the camera was school property and often loaned out to clueless HS students it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was caused by dirty heads :) It can't be the jack either, because my friend's Panasonic DVX100 was somewhat brand new at the time when I recaptured from the MiniDV tapes. I also know that if the DV jack is messed up it usually prevents the OS from recognizing the camera anyway, at least under Linux it prevents 'dvgrab' from working.

@sarahfardel BTW if the tape heads are dirty it usually comes out in LP mode because of what camcorders do to give you that extra recording time. Normally MiniDV recordings (in SP mode) add error correction and space the DV packs on the tape far apart enough to ensure reliability. When you switch on LP mode, the camcorder omits some of the error correction and packs the DV data closer together on the tape. So you get more time at the risk of some DV data corruption. :)

Ours today showed the windshield smashed through with the passenger laying about fifteen feet from the vehicle, with blood all over her dead. After using the jaws of life and arresting the drunk drivers, the coroner and the hearse came to take out the dead body. The police/paramedics even took the injured victims in to their vehicles and sped away out of the parking lot. Saddest parts however were seeing the parents reaction and looking in to a casket with a mirror saying that it could be us.

they brought in a medical helicopter one year at my school...but i was a freshman that year and didnt get to see that one. :( The one my junior year was still pretty intense... they brought out the jaws of life, completely ripped a car to pieces, took the roof off of it. a barrage of police cars and EMTs. Fake blood and everything. Very crazy.

They did this at our school today, it was so powerful, it's insanely emotionally taxing even to watch this in real life. It was really amazing.
