v:blog - Christchurch Sightseeing with Dave

Hakuna matata,

Have I already told you that my friend Dave stayed with me for a little bit more than a week earlier this month?

It was good, barring his snoring!

I managed to compile a video for you of two separate days of sightseeing, with all their various fun experiences that Dave has never had of Christchurch.

I won't spoil it all for you, I'll just let you watch it for yourself!

I noticed two things about Dave:

1) He seems to have never seen a tree before (Dave: "Wow, look at that!"; Iain: "Where, behind that tree?"), and

2) He gets very self-conscious on camera and tends to turn around / look over his shoulder lots. It laughed at him an awful lot when I was putting this together.

I have a very minor backlog of videos in the wings, but I'm also fairly run off my feet at the moment so editing will have to wait. This massive 8+ minute, 22mb epic montage should tide you over, especially you suckers on snail-up (get a real internet connection!).


I'm still practising with sound volumes, fades, and editing, so feel free to let me know what you think of my production as much as the content!

The order of the day was the penultimate U2*, so the songs on the video are:

U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - Vertigo
U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - Yahweh
U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - Love and Peace or Else
U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - The City of Blinding Lights

*I suppose U2 must only be penultimate since we know that Tenacious D have confirmed the existence of 'the greatest song in the world', alas, their version is only a tribute.
