Nice job Mike. Pat on the ol back. BTW, I like the sepia myself, but what do I know? ;)

Thanks Paul!.....but for those who prefer a bit of colour...just posted a new version under 'ROCHESTER SWEEPS 2007 (MOVIE) colour re-edited'

Hook are a pretty well entertaining morris side with excellent musicians.

Though, I would have liked more colour in the film.

And so you shall!.....Pretty well all the dance clips used in this version are already posted as individual clips, in full living colour! Just liked the idea of putting them together in this instance in a mono-chrome sepia-tinted 'old movie' style. May do a full colour edit as well. Check out my new dance clip 'Here Come The Witchmen' They're a very unique and powerful side.

Thanks Jane!

This was a good idea, and some of the shots appear quite dramatic in the sepia. I've given you four stars so you've already been rated more times than I have. The sound quality let it down, and as claraconcertina said, having it all sepia looses the wonderful colours, but hey you can find that elsewhere.

Again an excellent dance clip with the Witchmen, thank you Mike!
