video clips of warriors walk

the time it takes to download the film clips of the day to Blogger is so very slow that I publish this blog merely to notify and to direct you to my facebook site, having a camera does not make me in any way a film maker, nor can I even aspire to having the basic ability to grasp the intricasies of video editing software, so little in fact that I found it impossible on this occasion to splice the clips together for publication,  still, in the words of a great artist whose name escapes me at present, ''I am always trying something new in order to learn how to do it.'' truly the story of my life ...........

Film editing in the old days was, for me, far less time consuming and fun, there were little frames that you ran the film through cutting and splicing together tiny strips of cellulose with small sticky bits of sellotape, then, back to the monitor to wind the film through with a small handle to make sure you had cut and spliced at the right frame, absolute fun.

last night, after three hours of struggling with buttons, clips, images and text, captions and transitions, rolling credits, cutting and pasting, transferring from hard drive to software,,,etc etc etc,,, I lost everything, everything that is except the original clips, the fight with editing software goes on while the warriors walk event continues to be a daily success, 

currently the local gazette is trying to establish who was actually responsible for the installation, it is the event however that is important at this moment in time moreso than the person responsible.     


less said, here is the link to the third clip, others are at the same location.
