Some kinda ancient landscape of Scotland jealousy thing which happened down South. You kinda get that vibe and this fillum really brings it out bigstyle. I think a few star wipes would have eased the clumsy transitions between the shots and more zooming in and out would have greatly improved the feel of the whole "video". The keechy, new-age, warbly mince music could be replaced by something a bit more groovy like say a top Gary Glitter track or even some Italian House from say 1990. As Hugh MacDiarmid once wrote "It's queer the thochts a kittled cull can lowse, Nor Splairgin Glit annul..." Musing on the above this morning, I remembered when years ago being able to go up Silbury without having the guilt button thrown at you. and then all of the people that have been up over the past centuries. This 'sacred' veil has been thrown over the mound without any regard for history, and I'm not sure why we are not allowed, except of course the numbers that would trek to the top because (and this is my theory) the highlighting of the 'sacred' nature of Avebury by TMA, and of course archaeologists. My other half (LS) said 'Namby-pamby, nature loving, mother goddess' worshippers, and yes if you aspire to such heights making a film about Silbury you should try and make a decent video.... ps if anyone attacks LS for his words they have me to contend with ;)  This topic is locked |  14th June 2012ce 07:49 In reply to: Re: On the top of Silbury Hill (Howburn Digger)4 replies: Re: On the top of Silbury Hill (Sanctuary) Re: On the top of Silbury Hill (Sanctuary) Re: On the top of Silbury Hill (Littlestone) Re: On the top of Silbury Hill (tjj) |
