Kieron I’m not sure my old body could take those temperatures after being in the Queensland climate here for 15 years. It took me a year to gather the images for this sequence. I ran out of images to complete it during 2023 and had to find similar lighting and conditions to shoot some more. I managed to do that last week. It’s the sort of subject that really needs to be fast and furious. Especially with the slow shutter speeds, which add a feeling of movement. Anyway, it’s kept me out of trouble for some hours.

Thoroughly enjoyed this Barry! I have watched several times. Great transitions, in time with the beat of the energetic music. I am envious of the theme as we woke up this morning to minus 30 overnight. Kieron

I do still have a whole set of videos on the subject of adding commentary. They were recorded for PTE 8, but the principals are the same. Download them all below. https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/c4j23t5cdr0gm19/Adding_Commentary_in_PTE8.zip/file The Videos are: 1. Introduction 2. The Script 3. Writing the Script 4. Microphones 5. Recording and applying commentary 6. Linking Audio Clips 7. Linking Audio Clips (Review) 8. Audacity

For me it has to be short commentary takes, because as you put the presentation together, you need the flexibility to slide the audio along the time line to match up with the visuals. When recording short bits of commentary (a sentence or two), you’ll probably find that you’ll make less verbal mistakes. It’s also a lot easier to slot in a new bit of commentary when you realise you said something wrong, or you decide you can improve on what you originally recorded. It happens all the time. The down side is when you have a need to use noise suppression in your audio. Now it has to be run on all the seperate audio clips, rather than one complete audio file. For creative freedom, it’s seperate short takes for me and I’ve made a few of these types of recordings.
