In his new role, Childs is planning aggressive advertising campaigns and promotions to bring about "title awareness" for the company's originally produced and theatrical film releases, and possible new, low price points. "You will see `Silkwood' (currently being released on cassette) paired with in -store incentives as well as N new schemes from us (Embassy) to make our products familiar to consumers," Childs says.

O s Reflecting on home video's early e SOULS days, Childs notes that at Paramount no one anticipated the phenomenal N , sale of VCRs seen in 1983. In the early 1980's, penetration was nearing one million and a "hit" title sold about 70,000 copies. "In 1980, at the winter CES, I remember taking orders for $1 million worth of software. \NU\/\ \ Paramount was thrilled."

Along with a u\\A marked increase in hardware sales \N `\N1,\v` comes increased software offerings, \ocos he observes. The proliferation of software products has forced Embassy to consider million -dollar advertising \I and promotion schemes. \NU He notes that original productions 0NA need more attention, but that often the advertising costs are prohibitive, as the product has little title identifi- cation and is usually an unknown en- tity.

Brian Greenberg acted as director of photography. Hot stuff: Emmy -winning director Adam Friedman and his crew got an unexpected baptism Monday (23) while filming Michael Shrievé s forthcoming "Transfer Station Blue" video at the National Video Indus- tries Studio in lower Manhattan. Heat from the lighting equipment set off fire sprinklers, dousing the set and bringing four fire trucks to the scene. Fortunately, the equipment was sal- vaged, the set bailed and filming re- sumed. Shrieve remained cool (albeit wet) throughout, a trait he must have picked up in 1969, when he caused a small commotion as Santana's 17- year -old drummer at Woodstock. Friedman is also producing, for his own Adam Friedman Productions; executive producer is Bobby Vissicchio. Johnny Winter In New Kind Of `Press Release' The First Original Music'Video Created Just for'Kids! CHICAGO -Alligator Records has completed its first "video press release" for Johnny Winter, coincid- ing with Winter's first album and tour in over three years. According to Mindy Giles, Alliga- tor vice president /marketing and sales, the five- minute clip promotes Winter's first Alligator release "Gui- tar Slinger" via interview segments and live concert cutaways. "We consider it music news," says Giles. "We're also using it as a precursor to a regular video clip, so we wanted to keep it the length of a regular clip." The "video press release" was produced by Tom Hilbe at Chicago's Eye & Ear Telecorp. Giles says it's available to music news services and "interested cable stations." 10 Titles Set For Ingram's Bookstore Test NEW YORK -A mixture of music video, made-for home video product, feature films and children's titles will be included among the 10 titles Ingram Books uses to kick off its 851 - store test with Waldenbooks (Bill- board, April 7).
