<div>[Urgent Update: 3 Months into the Campaign – We Need Your Help to Unlock the Tapes]
</div>
<div>As of today, we are still fighting to secure the specialized HDCAM hardware and high-endurance archival storage (SSDs) required to play and digitize these 17 hours of rare footage.
</div>
<div>Currently, we have NO equipment and NO SSDs to even hold the data. My professional time and multi-media editing station are fully volunteered—but the vital hardware and storage are still completely missing. We cannot begin the rescue without this "key."
</div>
<div>With the 25th anniversary approaching this September 2026, we are running out of time before these physical tapes degrade forever.
</div>
<div>Please help us cross this immediate physical gap.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mission: Rescuing 1,000 Minutes of 9/11 NYC Recovery from Degrading Tapes.
</div>
<div>I am a professional cinematographer, former Technical Director with 17 years of experience in Japan, and a graduate of New York University’s ITP. In September 2001, driven by a professional duty to document the resilience of New York City, I captured 1,000 minutes (17 hours) of crucial aftermath and recovery footage on professional HDCAM tapes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Race Against Time and Chemical Decay
</div>
<div>90% of this unique archive has never been seen by the public. It remains trapped on physical tapes that are now reaching the absolute end of their 25-year lifespan. Magnetic tapes degrade chemically;
</div>
<div>if we do not digitize them now, this "collective memory of humanity" will be lost to history forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am volunteering 100% of my professional time, expertise, and high-end editing equipment. I am not asking for a salary. I am asking for the physical tools to make this rescue possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where Your Donation Goes (100% Transparency):
</div>
<div>A professional archival project of this scale usually costs over $12,000 in studio fees. By volunteering my labor, I’ve eliminated those costs, but I cannot self-fund the specialized hardware:
</div>
<ul>
<li>HDCAM Deck Acquisition/Rental: Our immediate hurdle. We need to secure the playback deck to unlock the footage.
</li>
<li>High-Endurance Archival Storage (SSDs): To safely receive and preserve massive, uncompressed HD data for future generations.
</li>
<li>25th Anniversary Memorial Screening (Sept 2026): To host a public, non-profit community dialogue and screening in NYC using the rescued footage.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our Unshakable Promise to the Public:
</div>
<ul>
<li>100% Free Access: Every single minute of rescued footage will be published openly on Instagram @Manhattan2001 for the world to see.
</li>
<li>Educational &amp; Research Licensing: Free access for schools, museums, and historical researchers.
</li>
<li>Physical Preservation: The original physical tapes will be donated/preserved in an optimal archival environment as historical artifacts.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am not the "owner" of these moments, but their guardian. Please help me unlock this history before the tapes fade away forever.
</div>

<div>【緊急アップデート：機材調達・SSD確保へのラストスパート】
</div>
<div>プロジェクト開始から3か月が経過しましたが、デジタル化に不可欠な「専用HDCAMデッキ」およびデータを保存するための「高耐久ストレージ（SSD）」の調達資金がまだ不足しています。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>現在、資金も機材も「完全にゼロ」の状態で、17時間の非圧縮データを受け止めるSSDすら購入できていません。私のプロとしての技術や編集環境はすべて無償で投入する準備ができていますが、肝心のテープを再生し保存する「キー（物理的機材）」が手元にないため、作業を開始できずにいます。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2026年9月、あの日から25年という大きな節目を目前に控え、物理的テープの劣化は一刻の猶予もない状態です。歴史を未来へ繋ぐため、どうか最初のハードルを越える力を貸してください。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>【プロジェクトの背景と目的：25年目の危機から記録映像を救う】
</div>
<div>私は約17年間にわたり、日本でTVカメラマンおよび映像技術ディレクターとして従事した後、ニューヨーク大学（NYU）大学院のITPを卒業し、現地の仲間と共にマルチメディア制作に携わってきた映像のプロフェッショナルです。
</div>
<div>2001年9月11日。混沌とするニューヨークの街の中で、「この再生と復興の過程を記録し、後世に残さなければならない」という強い使命感を抱き、入場制限解除直後の9月19日から12月末まで、プロ仕様のHDCAMカメラで約1,000分（17時間）にわたりマンハッタンの真実を記録し続けました。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>タイムリミットは今：物理的劣化との戦い</strong>
</div>
<div>このアーカイブの90%は、未だ世に出ていません。そして2026年の今、テープは磁気劣化の物理的限界（寿命）を迎えています。今デジタル化しなければ、この「人類の共有財産」は文字通り永遠に消え去ります。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>本プロジェクトは「完全なボランティア活動」です。私は技術と個人の編集PCを無償提供しますが、個人ではどうしても賄えない「物理的な実費」について、皆様のご支援を必要としています。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ご支援金の使い道（最低限必要な$12,000の透明性）：
</div>
<div>本来、この規模の作業をプロのスタジオに依頼すれば、機材レンタルと作業費で$12,000（約180万円）以上かかります。私自身の奉仕により人件費等はカットしますが、以下の実費が必要です。
</div>
<ul>
<li>HDCAM再生機材の調達・維持： 現在の最大の難所です。テープを読み解くための専用デッキの確保に使用します。
</li>
<li>最高画質でのデータ保存（高耐久SSD）： 17時間の膨大な非圧縮データを未来へ残すための強固なストレージの購入。
</li>
<li>9/11メモリアル上映討論会の開催（2026年9月）：
</li>
</ul>
<div>救出した映像を囲み、次世代と共にあの日を語り合う上映会をニューヨークで開催します。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>私たちの約束：救い出した映像の未来</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>完全無料での公開： デジタル化した最高画質の映像は、Instagram (@Manhattan2001) 等を通じて、誰もがいつでも無料で視聴できる環境を維持します。
</li>
<li>教育・研究への提供： 学校教育、公共イベント、研究機関に対し、無償での貸し出し・提供を積極的に行います。
</li>
<li>物理テープの保存： 歴史的遺物としての「オリジナルテープ」も、最適な環境で守り抜きます。
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>これは私個人の記録ではなく、あの日を生き抜いた人々の共有財産です。失われゆく歴史を救うため、どうかお力を貸してください。
</div>
