The Last Hunt?
Rather to my surprise my anti hunting husband wanted to visit a local Hunt meet on the Boxing Day 2004 which was the last 'normal' Hunt before the ban took place. I took along my camcorder (as you do) and made an informal record of the event.
September 11th 2001
Or 9/11 as the Americans express it. Shortly after the events of that day, a friend created an audio memorial. Then some 3 years later he suggested I collect some relevant visuals and make a video to go with his soundtrack, in time for the 3rd anniversary. I thought this was an interesting project, but as time had passed, and also the music chosen indirectly reflected on the future, I went beyond 9/11 to include some of the events it precipitated. Then on the five year anniversary, I felt it appropriate to make a video purely in memory of the people in New York, with no thought provoking political visuals. The same music, so choose which you'd like to watch.

Requiem for Concorde
Ever since the withdrawal of Concorde from service was announced by British Airways, I had an urge to make my own personal memory of an airplane I'd always admired, though never traveled on. A 'Requiem for Concorde', a montage of film of her life, set to music. The day of the last British Airways flights had plenty of footage on the TV, but still I needed some suitable music.
Then a guitarist friend of mine sent me a piece of music played by him and arranged by a friend of his, a version of the classical Requiem.
I thought it was an ideal match, and this is the result......

A Captain's Memories
I rashly volunteered to make a film record of my husband's year as Golf Club captain, 2003/04, and so far have put together only the film of his 'inauguration', the Captain's Drive-In, which will serve as an intro to the main film.
