Title: Video Appetiser for 2010
Post by: TerryW on April 13, 2010, 12:18:25 AM
I've been wanting to do a "movie" of Arillas for over two years but I have never had a PC powerful enough to render the videos. It also means trying to learn new software.

This is my first, very raw, attempt with a collection of HD videos I took last July. I had to condense over 2GB of files to get this first video and there are no titles due to my excitement at wanting to get it on Youtube. It may be slow to play if your internet speed is slow.

I also did it quickly for Viv to watch in hospital. So this is for Viv and lets hope she is soon back in the place she loves.

Thanks Terry, I enjoyed that.  I'm sure our Viv will love it too and yet no doubt it will bring a few tears to her eyes.

A special thanks should also be said for the work you put into promoting Arillas through your videos.

I must admit that I do like the music by  Stamatis Spanoudakis, its so relaxing and as its called "Thalassa" it seems relavent to Arillas. I can imagine sitting at a table in Thalassa, with a bottle of wine and looking out at the sea with the song quietly playing in the background - SIGH!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the comments, they are much appreciated. Arillas is such a beautiful place to to photograph or video and deserves as much promotion as possible.

I now need to find somewhere to buy the CD from

Thanks Erja. I did a search but it didn't show up on Play.com.

I downloaded the version for the video from www.legalsounds.com but I would like the original CD.

No Phil, you don't !!
Just a voodie frappe, or whatever you call it, will do just fine!!
It won't be long 'till July and you will be like a fish in the sea again.

What a wonderful video, all last years memories just come flooding back. Also an inspired selection for the music. "Thalassa" is on my favourites list on utube, so it gets played an awful lot in our house, but your video makes it that little bit special because the sites you show we know so well.
Thanks so much

Wonderful video Terry - thank you so much.

I found a copy of the CD you are looking for on ebay for £17.95.  Hope that helps.

Best wishes,

Peggy
