The Archive

The Archive from Sean Dunne on Vimeo.

The Archive is a film about Paul, a man who's collected a lot of records. The records are from back in the day to a little modern. He explains that he like records better than the music that people now record onto a computer because when people record music onto a computer they cut out the originality of an instrument while on the record it plays every instrument that is recorded raw. All of his records is worth up to $50 million but he wants to sell it for only $3 million.

In the film  you see Paul owns a store named Record Rama, and you see him and his wife. His wife was the one that suggested he gets rid of the records or start a business. Around the mid 1990's he started the business. Throughout the years paul built the world's largest record collection. He gets excited when people enter his shop and look around because not many people do.

I think that it's pretty cool and interesting to be able to have so many records from back in the day. You can see how music has changed and shaped from then to now. It went from people recording on records with every instrument being recorded to people recording on the computer and cutting out the originality of the instruments. I wonder if the store is still there or if someone has already bought all of the records.
