BOB MARLEY DVD WILL USE FAN FOOTAGE, ANIMATION

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ When the creators of a new Bob Marley concert video found they didn’t have the video to match the audio, they threw in a cartoon. “Bob Marley and the Wailers — Easy Skanking In Boston ’78” was created from footage that a fan shot right in front of the stage, with Marley’s permission. Audio of the concert was recorded as well, but there are gaps in the film because the fan had to change reels. The gaps have been augmented with animation created especially for the project. The concert will be released on D-V-D, Blu-Ray and C-D on February 17. It’s the first of several releases and events to mark the 70th anniversary of Marley’s birth this year.
