Reviewed by: Living Room Cinema: Films from Home Movie Day, Volume 1 Daniel Mauro (bio) Living Room Cinema: Films from Home Movie Day, Volume 1; Center for Home Movies, 2007 Slightly dusty, occasionally scratched, yet entirely intriguing, the home movies and amateur films compiled on Living Room Cinema: Films from Home Movie Day, Volume 1 showcase the dynamic variety of films that may appear at one of the many lively Home Movie Day events hosted annually around the world.1 Beginning in 2003, Home Movie Day has since expanded to local venues situated across five continents in a growing effort to raise awareness about the importance of amateur film preservation, share methods of proper storage, and celebrate the phenomena of the local and personal histories presented on screen by the many participants of the events.2 Pulling together a diverse selection of films from Home Movie Day participants, the home movies and amateur films collected on this disc offer a glimpse of the personal lives of peoples from various locales and time periods as well as unique experiments in the uses of film technologies and methods of storytelling. Although home movies and amateur films may often be thought of as fitting the stereotypical tropes of lacking production value and visionary foresight, what this compilation reveals, instead, is the value of these films that is waiting to be discovered not only by scholars, but also within the homes of the filmmakers and viewers as these movies move out of the attic and into wider discourse.

Behind the repackaging and repurposing of these films is the Center for Home Movies, a nonprofit organization focused on the preservation of amateur motion pictures.3 As the primary coordinator of Home Movie Day, the Center for Home Movies has been a key contributor to the broader dissemination of home movie and amateur film materials since its establishment in 2005. In collaboration with the Orphan Film Symposium, the Center for Home Movies has taken part in preserving and promoting collections of home movies from various sources.4 Partnering with the Internet Archive, many films from the organization's collections appear online for free viewing alongside the home movies of individual collectors.5 The Living Room Cinema DVD is another means by which the Center for Home Movies is making these films more widely available as the efforts of the organization continue to expand. This video offers an introduction to the diverse world of home movies and amateur films for the interested enthusiast, preservationist, or scholar.
The vintage of the twenty-two movies included on the DVD ranges from as early as the 1920s to as recently as 1998. The majority of the films were shot in various locations across the United States, but a select few were produced in other countries, including Thailand, Cuba, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The film-to-video transfer is of high quality, with transfer services performed by preservation and telecine laboratory Colorlab. Although some of the source materials have the occasional defect (as may be expected), the final product of the transfer appears to capture crisply the grain of the various film stocks on display while minimizing signs of ghosting or interlacing in the transfer. The two hours of amateur footage that make up the bulk of the disc are encoded on a dual-layer DVD, offering a higher video bitrate and quality for the transfers. Included along with the films is an eight-minute video [End Page 171] showing scenes from several different Home Movie Day events, acting as an introduction for those who may not have attended one of the events before viewing the DVD. Apart from this vignette, the key special features that make this DVD especially valuable for viewing and repeat viewing are the audio options that complement the films.
Our Z490 motherboards fly their RGB LED colors high. ROG and ROG Strix models in particular offer several configurable RGB LED zones, some resting under tasteful diffusers or in distinctive designs made to bend light in unique ways. Beyond the built-in lights, our entire Z490 lineup offers headers for RGB LED strips, including Gen 2 addressable headers that can auto-detect connected devices, set up presets, and control each individual LED with minimal latency. All the lighting can be easily shut off if you find it too distracting during the night or when watching a movie.
Overclocker assists abound on the Maximus XII series, both in hardware and software. Q-Code status displays, onboard power and reset buttons, and our exclusive AI Overclocking technology makes it easy to extract every last drop of processor performance with minimal effort. Every model has plenty of fan headers along with dedicated AIO and pump headers to keep power-hungry components cool. SupremeFX S1220 codecs handle audio output, and we ensconce them in shielded circuitry, dedicated PCB layers, dual op-amps, and Japanese capacitors. For the highest-fidelity analog output, the Extreme, Formula, and Hero models wire up their codecs to an ESS Sabre DAC and a Texas Instruments discrete headphone amplifier
AI Overclocking offers ROG Strix builders an easy way to push chips past stock performance. AI Cooling automatically seeks the best balance between noise and cooling. AI Networking with GameFirst VI ensures your ping times are as low as they can be, even with downloads running in the background. SupremeFX audio on select ROG Strix boards incorporates dual op-amps, impedance matching, and DTS Sound Unbound 3D virtualization to ensure that music sounds the way it was intended and that no enemy will ever escape your notice.
The improvements begin with the voices. Windows 8 features a suite of high-quality text-to-speech voices, including three English voices: Hazel, Zira, and David. Personally, I find the David voice to be among the highest quality voices currently available from any source. You can adjust voice speed, pitch, and volume, and there is also an option to lower the system volume whenever Narrator is speaking. I quickly disabled this option, however, as it tended to be a bit sticky. For example, playing a Netflix movie, the volume would stay lowered, making dialogue all but inaudible.
This is a rather awkward error message. Apparently I have to close an application I cannot access with speech, then turn Narrator back on and try again. Luckily, pressing the Spacebar, and perhaps Escape a few times, tended to clear things up. But this is not what I want to hear after I get all settled in for the evening on my sofa using touch gestures to listen to a recorded book or play a movie.
The BARD Mobile home screen is separated into four tabs that are always displayed at the bottom of the screen for easy access. They are (left to right): Bookshelf, Get Books, Settings, and Now Reading. After you have logged into your BARD account, you will be placed in the Get Books tab, which provides access to the BARD catalog of digital talking books and braille books. The screen boasts a simple layout: the various options are arranged in a single column that extends across the entire screen for easy navigation. The first item at the top of the screen is the Get Books heading, followed by an item that opens your Wish List. Following the Wish List item, there is a heading labeled "Recently Added Titles." Below this heading are items that display recently added audio books, audio magazines, braille books, and braille magazines. At the bottom of the screen there is a heading labeled "BARD website." Below this heading is an item labeled "Browse BARD," which allows you to navigate the BARD website. To download books from this screen, they must either be in your Wish List or in Recently Added Titles; there is not a standard search function on this screen.
Once you have chosen an audio title to read, you will be taken to the Now Reading screen. There is a heading at the top of the screen labeled with the name of the current title. To the left of this heading is a "Navigation" button. Below the heading is the name of the current section or chapter, stretching across the entire screen. Below this information, the elapsed time and the total time of the title are displayed, followed by a left/right slider that allows you to adjust the reading position by percentage. You can use a single finger flick upward to move the position forward and downward to move the position backward. When using this method, the position will be moved in increments of ten percent. You can also use a double tap and hold gesture followed by sliding your finger left and right to move the slider manually.
BARD Mobile can also display BRF files. You will need a braille display to accurately read these files and search for keywords in a BRF file. When you are reading a braille title, the Now Reading screen is topped by a heading labeled with the name of the currently active title. A navigation button lies to the right of the heading. Just below this heading is a search field where you can search the body of the title for text. Upon searching you will be taken to the first instance of your search term. If you set the navigation level to Search Keyword, you can move to further instances of your search term by using the "Previous" and "Next" buttons at the bottom of the screen. Just below the search field is a display where the braille text is displayed a single line at a time. Each line is considered a separate element, therefore, you can flick through the contents of the BRF file one line at a time. If you flick right with one finger from the search field, you will be placed at the top of the text even if you were previously at a line further along in the file. Below the display is the current volume you are reading followed by the page and line number on a line below the volume number. BRF files from NLS are marked with the amount of volumes they would be if they were printed in physical braille volumes. If you flick left with one finger from the current volume, you will be placed at the end of the BRF file. At the very bottom of the screen are "Previous," "Menu," and "Next" buttons. The "Menu" button cycles through various navigation elements and is labeled with the currently selected element. The elements available are somewhat different from those available when you are listening to an audio title: page, line, volume, bookmark, and search keyword. The Navigation screen is identical to the Navigation screen when reading an audio title, with different tabs (Volume, Page, and Bookmark) and neither a "Skippable" button nor a table index.
