I am now Australian!

Australia Day - 26th January 2006

After living in Perth in Western Australia for the past four years, I have at last become Australian. I still have my UK citizenship, so now am dual nationality.

My citizenship ceremony took place on Australia Day, 26th January 2006. The video here is a short edit of the ceremony, and the day afterwards, including the brilliant Perth Australia Day Skyshow fireworks.

Skydive freefall formation world record

Nothing really to do with video editing, but some amazing video none-the-less!

Four days ago a new largest freefall formation record was set by The World Team in Thailand. The formation was held for 4.25 seconds.

There is video, and much more information available here, the video links are at the top left of the page.

Alternatively the two videos currently available can be accessed directly at the two addresses below:-

Amazing stuff. Well done to all involved.

Movies and Videos featured in January

We only managed to feature three videos in January, as things here have been pretty chaotic.

The first clip shows the construction method for The $19 Underwater Video Housing.

I am very proud of my underwater housing, which featured early in the month, and in the January edition of "Better Movie Making Monthly". The housing also has its own feature page, which includes some underwater footage taken using it. Click here to take a look.

The second video featured was the underwater footage taken using the housing.

The final video featured last month was my edit of the Gravity Games hosted here in Perth at the end of last year. What an amazing show.

I will try to feature a few more videos from others this month.
