Carry On Fanvid

Aug 07, 2011 09:10

Okay, so I have been tiring myself out doing various things, one of which was this! I know most of you aren't interested in Carry On films, understandably, but anyway I didn't think I could manage this before I started (I collected the clips in a sort of spirit of mild hopefulness and lack of anything better to do), but I did!

A Girl Like You - fanvid for the women of the Carry On films:

If anyone has 3.55 mins of their life to spare, it's just a bit of fun and montage of Carry on women and although I know it could have been much better, I'm pleased with it. I'm sorry about all the comic violence in the middle. I should have chosen a different song, but... it just fitted. (And because Joan Sims manhandling Leslie Phillips will never cease to amuse me. :lol:)

But I did gratuitously include Jacqueline Pearce, Wanda Ventham, Sheila Hancock and Wendy Richard, so there's something fannish to look out for. In addition to totally non-gratuitous Joan Sims, Angela Douglas (DW), Shirley Eaton (James Bond) and Joan Hickson (aka the Miss Marple).

The full list (in order of appearance):
Joan Sims
Hattie Jacques
Liz Fraser
Barbara Windsor
Jacki Piper
Dilys Laye
Angela Douglas
Shirley Eaton
Anita Harris
Patsy Rowlands
Amanda Barrie
Dora Bryan
Elke Somers
Juliet Mills
Esma Cannon
Fenella Fielding
Sheila Hancock
Valerie Leon
Joan Hickson
Gail Grainger
June Whitfield
Carol Hawkins
Wanda Ventham
Jacqueline Pearce
Wendy Richard
Sally Geeson
Rosalind Knight

Naturally there's a fair bit of Kenneth Williams, Sid James and Kenneth Connor et al. And I think I should probably do something else with the clips while I have them. Once I've recovered from this.

I solved my uploading problems by bargain-hunting for an old version of a better program and it converted to .wmv which meant it took only an hour. Also the audio quality is definitely better. However, exporting it to that took 1 hr 40 mins. (I tried it before I'd finished tweaking and once it took that long, I decided I had finished tweaking - I won't make that mistake again.) The actual fanvidding is relatively simple, like cropping images... it's everything else that isn't. Heh.

*heads off to lie down*
