Howard Bagshaw Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Hi,This is the first time I've posted a link to one of my sequences. The sequence 'Ride to the Wall' relates to Remembrance, but from a different slant.Sequence is 16:10 format, images 1400x875px, 34Mb, 4min 15sec long, for a general audience. All pictures taken by me on 1st October this year.Download from www.staffs-av.org.uk/AVs/Ride.zipI hope that you like it, but would welcome any comments.Howard Quote
David Porter Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Certainly the most moving A/V I have seen on this site or probably any other. Quote
BootZilla Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Howard - I thought your show "Ride to the Wall" was/is fantastic. You're right, this is an unusual remembrance video and that's what so great about it. Pink Floyd and Harley's - great combo. Your photography is spot on - sharp, vivid, bold. Excellent .Greg Gordon Quote
Barry Beckham Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 That was one of the best Audio Visual sequences I have seen posted on this site. You must be pleased with that and rightly so.There are broadly two styles of still image AV. Story based and Image based. This is story based and when you get that right it stands out from the crowd. You got it right. Quote
smithrg Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Howard, excellent and moving show.Thank you, gayland Quote
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 A definate keeper, thanks Howard.Yachtsman1. Quote
Lin Evans Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Hi Howard,Moving tribute - very well presented... As both a brother (I ride an FXDWG) and a veteran of two combat tours - I fully appreciate and understand....Best regards,Lin Quote
David Porter Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Howard,Got myself together after watching your show first time round and would like to add :- super photography, perfect voiceover and music and put together very professionally. In fact I can't see a professional doing any better. Quote
colin hill Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Howard,An excellent show and very well narrated. The photographs were clear and sharp and very good.I hope we will see more from you in the future.Thank you for sharing.Colin Quote

paulziets Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Howard,I was privileged to have seen your sequence at Wilmslow at the last meeting, and was pleased that you have posted it on this site. It gets better, if that's at all possible, every time I view it. There is so much to learn from skilled practitioners of the art such as yourself.Regards,Paul Quote
LumenLux Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Right on target in my opinion. Congratulations on such a successful presentation. I'd like to tag along with Barry's observation and express how importantly your photographic exactness allowed your story to come clear with no distraction. Quote
trailertrash Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 As a vetern myself I had to compose myself for a few minutes before writing.The NMA is probably my favourite place to visit, having 3 friends named on the wall, and one on the Basra Wall.Howard, I salute you. This will find a place on my web site, and may I suggest you send this to Beechbrook so that it may be seen globally.Andrew. Quote
Howard Bagshaw Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Posted November 10, 2011 Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I have taken 'trailertrash's suggestion and submitted it to Beechbrook.HowardPS, Many congratulations also to you Roger, I was sat behind Marilyn who couldn't contain herself when your result was announced.

cottage Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Howard,A very engaging and moving tribute! Thank you for sharing this with us. Your presentation allows us all to 'Ride to the Wall'. It was beautifully crafted with stirring images, music and commentary. I look forward to your future work. And congratulations on your MPAGB award (http://www.staffs-av.org.uk/News.html). Quite an accomplishment indeed !!BillHere is a direct link to Howard's tribute on Beechbrook - A different take on Remembrance Quote
stonemason Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 HowardProbably the best AV presentation I have ever seen, absolutely stunning and very moving.Geoff Quote
trailertrash Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 I was at the NMA on Sunday and saw the results of the photography competition. Congrats to Howard on a very well deserved 1st Place. Stunning image.Andrew Quote
davegee Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 Well done Howard:http://www.birminghammail.net/news/top-stories/2011/11/11/the-winners-of-national-memorial-arboretum-photography-contest-are-revealed-97319-29757378/DG Quote
8321 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Well done Howard and congratulations on your "M".Remembrance Day is not a big thing in this colony. However, with no WW1 survivors at the Cenotaph this year, it is this kind of stunning production that keeps the folly of war in the collective mind. Thank you for that.Jeff Quote
Paul T Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 What an excellent AV outstanding images brilliant sequences awesome narration & music very professional. Also it held my attention throughoutPaul Quote
