Title from title screen.
Video is used as an introduction to glass for visitors at The Corning Museum of Glass.
Kenneth Jobe, Project Director, Corning Incorporated ; Robert K. Casseti, Creative Director ; Smith-Miller & Hawkinson, Project Architect ; Peter Ryan, Donna Lawrence, writers.
Primarily a visual introduction to the world of glass, beginning with a volcanic eruption and the lava which becomes obsidian. The video covers the basic concepts of (1) what is glass (how it forms, and its definition as a rigid liquid); (2) ingredients; (3) inside of a furnace; (4) how objects are made, both factory production (images only, no narration) and hand made glass (emphasizing how glass is poured, shaped, cooled, formed); (5) objects from the Museum (not identified, and no mention of the museum); (6) mention of the use of glass in current optics and communications.
There are a few Corning scientists in the video, as well as scenes of making glass at Steuben.
"Dreams into glass," The Corning Museum of Glass film, won a "Best of Show" Grand Award and a Gold World Medal award from The New York Festivals 42nd Anual International Film and Video Awards"--http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2000/02/02/26507.html
