@ArchitectGJA - Hi this is Scott's wife Karen, I just posted something short this morning 'Laman Street Protest Movie Addendum' - I haven't had much time to do more - but with all the raw footage we have I hope someone helps us make a full length documentary one day soon.
I agree that what you have made is very powerful and shows this is a protest by ordinary citizens of Newcastle and not a hard core activist group.
Beautiful video. One of the first ways to put down a peoples opposition movement is to label the protestors 'ratbags & loonies.' In other words, take no notice of them or their issue. You have managed to capture the reality, that the people who are trying to save Newcastle's Laman Street Fig trees are ordinary people who have taken the trouble to peacefully fight to save something they believe is extraordinary.
Superb photography and a well crafted compilation. Thankyou.
