Allan Hagen’s Blackpool 2008 HD video

I enjoy making videos. Something most of us have understood by now. But when I started editing the Blackpool video, something felt.. not right. After a couple of days, my Macintosh HDD decides to mess up and suddenly get a complete disaster failure. So I lost everything. Which is also incidentally the r

eason I still shoot HDV on Mini-DV tapes. Even if you do experience a disaster situation, you’ve still got your footage. Since then I’ve experienced another disk crash, but that was some super-silly error I made on my laptop, and has very little to do with the Blackpool video.

Over the last month it feels like I’ve spent all my spare time to edit this video. A little AppleScript I wrote tells me that I’ve spent about eight hours and forty-two minutes on the video. This indicates how incredibly little spare time I’ve had

Being set back by the hard drive crash was a good thing. What didn’t feel right at first, feels right now, that I’ve re-done it.

This will be the last video I make for a good while. I can say for sure that I’ll be putting out something, between August and September sometime, but wouldn’t bother going more into details about that right now.

Well, what a great chance to share this work of mine.
Most of the people in the video I’ve met on multiple occasions before. As always, some of the best moments of my teen life have been spent with you guys. Hope you can say the same.
