fachtna wrote: Hello - I apologise for bringing the topic of the Silbury Hill project up again (I have said that I wouldn't) but an issue has arisen that may be of some significance for me and my family and I would be grateful for your help. I have just posted 2 videos produced for English Heritage by Chris Corden Productions on Youtube (thanks to EH and Chris Corden for permission to reproduce the images). The 1st video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxkXdK2hcs4 The 2nd video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVxKI0bKdk4 There are differing views with regard to the derivation of these films: In one view the 1st video appeared on the EH Silbury Project Website in the early stages of the fieldwork in 2007 and was taken down and replaced by the 2nd video. In another view the Ist video never appeared at all on the EH website, which has only ever presented the 2nd video as the first in a series of films on the project. I would be very grateful for any assistance (and evidence) that people may be able to provide to establish which of these views is correct. Thanks fachtna Hello I would just like to say that my query about the films has now been resolved. After a request under the Freedom Of Information Act English Heritage has discovered that 'both versions of the first Silbury film [ie the 2 videos I posted on youtube] were on the EH website at different times, and that the longer version of the first film [which I termed video 1] was replaced by a shorter edited version [video 2]. The first version of the first film presented the backgound to the 2007 fieldwork and showed work taking place inside the re-opened Atkinson tunnel in May/June 2007, including the excavation of the buried ditch and me talking about the work to camera. This was replaced by a shorter version which only presented the background to the 2007 fieldwork. This shorter version was accompanied on the EH website by another film - 'A walk through the tunnel'. This begins with the excavation of the buried ditch being discussed by Mr Jim Leary, who is described in the film as the 'Fieldwork Director of the project for English Heritage'. Many thanks to all who have assisted with this. fachtna Reply | with quote | Posted by fachtna 15th July 2010ce 19:37 In reply to: Silbury Hill eh films query (fachtna) |
