Hi all
Great news.
The DVD and/or tape of the Saturday night concert is now ready and can be purchased at:
http://www.highlanderworldwide.com/merchandise/videos.shtml
Thanks to Sonja as always for a brilliant job working with real problems re light and sound. You have no idea how difficult it was given the sound problems and the vastly different lighting between the three cameras – two professional ones and one amateur. An enormous vote of thanks here to Bethany Ford who offered her services as a back up video-er. Sonja said: “If it wasn’t for Bethany there wouldn’t be a video!”…She managed to not only get a terrific angle on many of the items but at the end of the day, most of the useable sound came from her small over the counter video camera. A huge vote of thanks Bethany – you even qualify for a free DVD
At the end of the day, we had to decide to either not offer the concert because sound and film wise it does have problems…or whether to continue with the *amateur* feel of the night and do as professional a job as we could within the constraints of our equipment that night. We chose the latter because it would be a crime against nature not to get this footage out there. I think that it is fabulous and I know that you will thoroughly enjoy it. If you weren’t there that night, please be aware that it is not a professional shoot. It’s the lovingly crafted edit by Highlander lovers of a wonderful night – in other words, buy it for the memories, not the technical aspects
I refused to let Sonja sign it ‘Sonja – (I wasn’t responsible for the light or sound) – Van Den Ende’
Thanks to John Mosby for the great slick. That man is brilliant!
And look out for the bonus footage after the credits…again, it is flawed with some white zaps in there but I figured that it was worth it to give you this version of what you will see.
Kind regards
@ Carmel Macpherson
