Windows 7 video test

Again, the content is not that important, but there is some film here from 1980 or 1982, with some video effects added. This is just a test to compare how easy it is to edit and upload video in Windows 7, compared to software built into the Flip video camera.

Give me some of that!

I was humming a song yesterday that I remember from the install disk of Windows 95 - yep 95. 'Give me some of that' was all I could remember, and then 'Good times, bad times, give me some of that'.

From there it was relatively easy to track it down. The artist was Edie Brickell - yes, never heard anything else from her either! But I loved that song, and the video that went with it.



Seems Edie is still being creative - here is something more recent. More in Wikipedia. Interestingly, she is married to singer/songwriter Paul Simon, and with her band The New Bohemians, wrote and recorded What I Am, that was later covered by Spice Girl Emma Bunton. Hope you are now as educated about connections to that song that was going round my head, yesterday.

Almost there!

Some footage I shot on a recent trip into Malawi. Sam Peckham did the edit work and used it on the Feba UK website. The station has some last minute problems, but will overcome these.
