Why didn’t I think of this before? I mean, having been involved in the production and post production of Speekee, I did learn a thing or two about working with video footage.
As is the way with ideas, they hit you when they hit you, and this one only hit me a few days ago - since when I’ve been waiting for the sky to clear. November’s not the best time of year to shoot with a video camera, and the sun’s rather low in the sky to show Casa Campana in its best light. But I got the footage..
.. then set about using Windows Movie Maker. Any expert in editing will tell you that WMV has its limits, yet it’s very easy to use and works a treat for making 54 seconds of video to upload onto YouTube.
And the result? You’ll be the judge.
“Ready when you are, Mr DeMille”, as Andy Bell might say.
