1100.0. "LUCASFILM VIDEO SHORT" by VERGA::H_JONES () Wed Aug 26 1992 20:36

    Can anyone out there help me find a resource for this little project?
    
    Basically, I'm trying to get a copy of the "flying space
    gummi bear - Don't Litter" video that they play at
    General Cinemas. (My fiance wants it for the
    beginning of our wedding video - tres chic!)
    
    The reason I sought help in this file is that
    General Cinemas says LUCASFILM made the clip, but
    couldn't provide me with a contact or resource.
    
    Does anyone out there have an idea of who or 
    what to contact in this instance? I assume I'll
    have to call Lucasfilm in LA, but I thought
    someone might be able to point me in generally
    the right direction.
    
    Thanks much for any help!

    Thanks - Believe it or not, I solved this last night.....
    
    The whole story:
    
    Called information in LA for LUCASfilm. No listing. Hmmm....
    
    Called my cousin in Baltimore that owns all the star wars movies.
    The box says "Twentieth Century Fox", so I called them to see
    if Lucasfilm was associated with them in any way. They said no.
    
    So THEN I called Videosmith in Natick, who passed me to their
    Brookline store, who suggested I call Industrial Light & Magic.
    After several phoning/dialing accidents, I got through! And
    they knew exactly what I was talking about. So, I"ve left
    a message with their Marketing Dept.
    
    Never let it be said that something can't be done, as long
    as you have a phone book, an imagination, and someone else's
    phone.

    (I assume Star Wars, etc, is Twentieth Century Fox because
    it was only after the success of Star Wars, et al, that George was
    able to set up his own company, right?)

Lucasfilm and IL&M consistently refer to themselves as being from
Marin County, California.  (not by town, but by county.)
Marin County is what's at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Yes, that's how the video store referred to them,also.
    But Information gave me a choice of numbers from San Rafael
    or New York.
