Lorry joke #1

No problem.

Record them separately and mix them in with the Floyd, achieving a
background of engine noise, but subtle. I don't think the constant
mixture would work though - I'd start with engine noises (just to set
the scene) and then fade into predominantly Floyd, fading out the engine
totally then, but you'd have only a few (say ten) seconds of engine at
the start.

You must have more of the (preferably the entire) crossing of the bridge
- as it stands it's a real anti-climax and quite disappointing.
Next time you cross it, have the cam pointed out the side window and
blend in shots of that - that'll give some visual impact.

Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
river cleaned out in a day.

 

I appreciate your input. I really think that what you suggest would be
beyond my current knowledge of video editing. I don't get to spend a great
deal of time teaching myself computer skills because I am not at home a
great deal as I'm sure you can understand.


Possibly, I am thinking, it might be better to have no music soundtrack at
all but to have a window open in order to better hear the engine noise and
gearchanges, what do you think?

I appreciate what you are saying too about the premature finish. Although as
I said the approach is far more visually appealing than the traverse, the
honest truth is that that was the moment at which the camera's memory became
full. I have bought a couple of SD cards now.

Or your fridge (and aircon, if you've got it) will work a little less...

saying :

You say that like it's a bad thing.

 

According to wiki, Healey *did* say "silly Billy" quite frequently, but not
until after Yarwood started saying it.

I've never been deliberately forced off the road by a motorcyclist
during a road-rage incident.

 

There are also copyright issues. TBH for doing such a thing I would (and
have) go to http://www.jamendo.com/ and look through the music for one
which (a) fits the mood and (b) that the artist has released with a
license permitting sequencing to video. There's lots there that is
usable and much that is very good considering the amateur status of the
artists.

 

Emergency services joke:

Q: How do you tel the difference between a biker who has run under the
wheels of a truck and a trucker who has dropped a load of 75Kg of
chicken breast?

A: You can't.

 

<shrug>

I buy from student designers in Firenza at the market just on the Duomo
side of the Ponte Vecchio. Good quality, good designs, good prices.

 

I did.

I haven't seen this one in the flesh as it were.

I think I see where you're trying to go here but it really doesn't work
you know.

The biker is clearly going to be crushed by the wheels whereas it's not
really clear why the trucker would be damaged at all by having 'dropped
a load of 75Kg of chicken breast'.

Suggest you work a little harder at being funny. Try to model it on
being smug and condescending because you score really highly with those.

 

And the lorry won't be damaged by the biker.

 

Obviously the biker is more at risk when he's driving his truck then.
What was the point you were trying to make?

 

Even better, I don't have to demean myself by wearing a symbol of
subservience.

eBay name please?

 

Knight Of The Road () gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying :

<rolls eyes> That's some class-war chip on your shoulder, Vince.

So you don't drive for Eddie Stobart or any of the other fleets with
uniformed drivers, then?

Mind you, if you did, it'd be a company supplied tie...

 

No. Levis and a T shirt. Shorts if it's hot. Comfy jumper if it's cold.

I *could* wear a tie if I wanted to. But who would?

Irrelevant, because I don't.

Wow, there are some nice ties there. Cheap too. Ta for that.

 

When did a tie become a symbol of subservience?

 

And anyone who has attended a biker-under-truck incident knows that it
looks like someone dropped 75Kg of cicken breast on the floor. Usually
it's not clear that it is a biker until someone finds the bike or a
scrap of leather or a bit of a helmet amongst the goo.
