I was wondering if it would be possible to have the Mozilla Story Camp videos re-connected - http://maker.mozillapopcorn.org/storycamp/cinema.html
I am a teacher and I still use those resources to teach my classes at San Francisco State UNIVERSITY (and I made those videos and I still use them when I do job searches ;)
Thank you! Jason

There is a problem with the video URLs not redirecting.
As a short-term workaround, try this:
(1) Load a page and start the video.
(2) While the progress circle is circling, right-click > Copy Video Location
(3) Paste the location to the address bar and remove -origin and then press Return or Enter to load that address.
So for example:
http://videos-origin.mozilla.org/serv/webmademovies/storycamp/storycamp_episode1.mp4
becomes
http://videos.mozilla.org/serv/webmademovies/storycamp/storycamp_episode1.mp4
which redirects (at least for me right now) to
https://videos.cdn.mozilla.net/serv/webmademovies/storycamp/storycamp_episode1.mp4
It worked with episodes 1 and 3, but didn't work for me with episode 2 for some reason.
I don't know who is in charge of updating the old paths... that page is from 2012.

What to do you mean re-connected? I click on the link in Chrome and went to the page?
Thank you for the prompt response!
The six videos on this page were created by me and Mozilla Foundation staff six years ago. At some point in the last few months they stopped working. I was curious if the videos themselves could be reconnected so that my students and I could continue to watch/use them.
Perhaps this is not something you can do, as it doesn't seem like you are a Mozilla staff. Would you know where/how I could connect with someone at the Foundation that might be able to help me.
Thanks again for your timely response.
Best, Jason

Thank you! I was able to download all six videos this way.
This was such a relief. Thanks, again, for your prompt support. I'm grateful.
