Sorry that I haven't been on here for a while, however when we came back from Spain I found that the weather back in the UK was appalling and wondered why we had bothered !
I was sitting at home and looking out of the window at the pouring rain and happened to look at the price of flights to Almeria back in early November and found a couple of return tickets for £35 each !! yes £35 !! so it was a no brainer. We flew down on the19th of November and will be back on the 14th Dec only to fly back down on the 31st. 
I haven't been doing much in the video world but we are often going for what I call "a lost drive" in our area in Spain. This one starts up in the hills and mountains a few miles inland from our coastal home and finishes in Sorbas in the evening and shows a lot the amazing family run pottery that has to be seen to be believed !
One slight problem that I did have is I foolishly left my camera on 4K for all of the mountain scenery on the first part of the video and only realized it when we got to a small hamlet to film the tiny church.
As I haven't got any 4K editing software on this laptop that I use down here I had to convert it to 1080p to edit it, but it wasn't "that successful".
That's my excuse anyway !

Looking at the "second person" I thought that you had "flipped" the shot over in 2D in post so that your face was different, as certain marks on your face seemed to be reversed.

Sorry I have only just seen this, I would have loved to have made things like that, but I'm afraid that I am too long in the tooth to learn.
Obviously some good work with filming/editing and a good understanding of film language. The "Twins" film I enjoyed as well.
And as you say things are so easy with modern digital equipment compared with cutting and splicing 8mm film that was expensive and so time consuming, especially if you didn't get it right the first time and had to re-shoot scenes on a different day/lighting etc. Although I did use to break the ratchet on the S8 cassettes and rewind the film to add effects with double exposure, and before that I used to develop my own 8mm B&W film when I was at school. I had a friend whose father worked for Kodak who would give me small amounts of 16mm B&W film that he would splice down the middle and re-perf so I was lucky.

Well for the last six months I have been using a Panasonic HCX 2000 camcorder, I bought it on a bit of a whim while I was looking on line. I found one that was still in it's box actually unused and still in it's individual plastic coverings. It was up for auction on eBay and I put a silly low price in more to see the result than actually buy it, and much to my surprise I actually bought it for well under 1k !
It is a good bit of kit for what I paid and I really like it.  It is not the camera that I use for my films of music groups/bands in Spain as it is bigger and heavier and not practical for the hand held shots that I use, also I travel really light on our frequent trips.

The lady in question was actually the organizer of the whole event, she is one of those people that goes out of her way to help anyone who is genuinely having problems. She is also a trained physiotherapist who is a great help to us OAPs. This particular event had a quiz between the numbers being played and all the questions were on her phone.

I may have done I can't remember though !

You probably spotted me in the wide shots on the GoPro ?
Well this picture is a blow up of yours truly that I took off the wide angle GoPro that I run for the whole time when filming such things, and the only fake thing on me was the arm tattoos for effect on the day.
That is my own long undyed hair that hasn't gone white like my beard over the last 77 years, but I am not going to try and grow it as long as my wife's who hasn't been to a hairdressers since she was 15. However we do "trim" each others hair now and then.

Well hopefully if we are still here in this crazy world next year, we might be able to enjoy spring in the UK !
Sue and I used to fly or drive over to Holland for several years to have a look at the Tulips, and the amazing festivals that are put on in certain villages where the people make a complete amazing mosaic pictures and three dimensional things from tulips of faces/cars/houses or "anything" on their lawns/walls or on "anything"
We to have a Magnolia tree in our garden in the UK that is terrific when in bloom but unfortunately only lasts a short while, especially if it's windy
I enjoyed watching the video Eric with those colours as I am watching it in Spain where the weather is still very hot, and not too much on the floral side looking brilliant.
The bougainvillea seems to be the stable plant that is in most gardens and roses that grow all the year round as long as they get a drink now and then!
Filming wise I have only been making videos for local bands unfortunately, so although I do have every intention of driving into the campo on one of my "lost drives" to get some inspiration, the 40c plus temperatures that we have been having seemed to "quell" things down !
Heading back to the UK in a few days time to see how things are, although my weather app has shown "frosts" in our village.

I should really make a video of the area as it is often used for period films that are on general release and TV.  Although I have made films of certain parts over the years for our village Facebook page I have never made a complete one.
I suppose that now I have more time on my hands in retirement I should do something ? The problem is that I am not too sure where to start, and after watching some of your films of your area I don't think that I could get near your standards?
Regarding the high temperatures I haven't noticed anything different to be honest both here and in Spain. We have been in Mojacar on and off for 50 years and at this time of the year it has always been up in the high 30s lower 40s !  Several years back some friends of ours asked if they could use our place in Spain but it would have to be August as it was in the school holidays. We said of course but warned them that it would be "very hot", their reply was "it has been raining for weeks and it's cold as well and we love the heat"
Anyway they went and I gave them a list of the best places to go to for eating and sightseeing. After they came back we asked them where they went and what did they think of the general area. The reply was "we didn't go anywhere as it was too hot and spent everyday in your swimming pool" !!!!

I am still running MoviePlus X6 and edited this little number with it that I filmed at one of my local pubs at the weekend.
I have known these guys for years in my area from various bands who always put on a good show. Have a listen through a decent sound system or headphones for best audio. I filmed this with a Panasonic camcorder and a GoPro with a Zoom audio recorder. It wasn't the best setup for the band as we kept having intermittent rain all evening.

One of our walks from our house in the UK from our garden is solely across fields and the river to a small graveyard where my parents and lots of people that I grew up with are buried. It's only when I look at the ages of some of them that I realize I'm living on borrowed time !!!!    It's quite well kept but unfortunately the local badgers love digging it up! I often sit for a while and reminiscing of those days from the early 50s when everything ran at a different pace and life seemed perfect for me growing up.

The "moving" film was very well filmed and I thought that I had seen it before? and of course I had on the old Serif forum as you said.

Yes they are basically a "battery" for charging a phone or anything else that will work via a USB connection and is a similar size to a mobile phone, also it will fit in my pocket.
This is the one that I use with the GoPro or the Panasonic 900 as they are 5 volt. However I would only ever use them with the battery in the camera and not a "dummy" and plugged into the camera charging socket so as to protect the onboard circuits. I have used them for about 3 years and never had a problem and you can get them that will charge at higher voltage and wattage but at a higher price.
Also of course it will charge your phone if needed !
