     Shortly after posting my round up of vinyl video implementations, the eBay market price for the carousels used to view Red Raven Animation records dropped significantly, and I was able to pick one up for far cheaper than they were selling a year ago. In the course of researching the previous article, I’d found plenty of visuals of the animation contained on the records, but no footage of the actual records themselves in action, which is really where the appeal lies. So, without further ado, here is a short video clip – just click on the image below. The record is playing at 45 RPM since my turntable doesn’t do 78.

Interesting. Did you know the singer is female? I sped the audio up to full speed and it’s typical “for children” recording – syrupy female voice.

If you’re tinkering this video up faster, it needs to go at 173.3% of the speed you recorded it at, and get it to *not* preserve pitch. Which I’ve been unable to do in iMovie.

I’m a preschool teacher and have two red raven records. One label is missing on one side. I do have the mirrored caroursel, too, and an old record player with 78 rpm. My kids call it the big CD movie. They love it.
