SER1 'FIRST OVERLAND' UPDATE

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/09/19]

       A progress report on my proposed DVD re-issue of 'BB's film
footage:  I went to his home in Wiltshire last Friday, and filmed him
and Tim Slessor viewing the film and giving a running commentary - it's
a way of providing 'sound' to otherwise mute footage!  We also did an
interview with them both.  Then, on the way back north, I visited Nigel
Newbery for another interview.  I also have dates agreed in early
October to interview Adrian Cowell and Pat Murphy in London.  (Henry
Nott died a couple of years ago.)
       It's all looking good, but is going to be a mammoth editing job.
but very worthwhile, and I feel very honoured to be able to do it.
Thanks to all those who expressed potential interest in the DVD - I've
kept a note of your email addresses.  It's my intention to get the
editing completed by mid November so that I can launch it at the same
time as the re-published book launch. but I'm also toying with an
'extra' about the making of the DVD which would need footage from the
book launch.  We might end up with a 'finished' version of the DVD for
sale near Christmas, but an earlier version without the 'extra' for
those who can't wait.
       Watch this space - as ever, you'll be the first to know!
