Way to go, Grazie. There's no better feeling than knowing that you've done your best and then having that achievement recognized by others. Sorry we can't see the whole piece, but I hope you're able to post some of the still clips for us.

Congratulations!

Well done old chap!

If you're unable to show - I understand this, most of my work is like this - can you at least remind us what the 22 mins was about?

Cheers

Congratulations Grazie!!! You know we are proud of you. For those who have heard it, there is no greater high than the sound of an audience applauding for you. Bask in it. It’s the biggest payback there is.

SPOT, J_Mac, JackW, busterkeaton, TomG DGrob & JohnnyRoy THANX LAds! - I really wish you could see it in its entirity.

The presentation was shown on 3 screens, in an "Industrial Ciche" concepted screening area. Lotsa FAT cabling/wires very well lit and superb sound . . .I started with a l o w earthquake rumble to get their attention and had a PI comet type thing speeding through the heavens and sky .. looks great!

Vegas just DID IT! - Even when last Saturday the D: drive failed and I had to recapture from the miniDV tapes . . . Vegas just held the line and kept calm about it all .. used this facilty inconjunction with the 2nd hand Panasonic NV-DV10000 deck I now own .. VEgas and Panny deck just did it! My pc is going back to the suppliers this week for a replacement drive . . no worries . . . under warranty. Think I'll have them stick in another 120gb drive while it is in the garage - yeah? Caddie drive any good?

Okay Peter - Yeah, it's what it is - yeah?

This project was a wish by the client - a BBC/Local Authority Media Consultant to have "talking HEads" of those people that couldn't BE at the launch of a Police/Safety/Community/What's On . .website RE-Launch . . .well I think [ I know!] she got more than she originally thought of . . she got a treatment that raised the local authority into something very different indeed!

Best regards,

Grazie

Right on the button, Grazie. It's those touches - things that make your programme different to anyone else's. That's the way to succeed.
