Hildegard of Bingen and the Living Light is on at Surgeon's Hall in Edinburgh until 28 August 2010. This short film shows a modern day representation of St Bernard of Clairvaux advertising the show on the Royal Mile outside St Giles' Cathedral. St Bernard is often noted for his reverence of the feminine within his concept of the divine. He is thought by many to be a guiding light to The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, who are more often known as the Knights Templar. St Bernard is one of the figures that helped Hildegard as she reported her visions and developed the Lingua Ignota
or Unknown Language to record her divine connections. The Unknown Language and the unheard music of Hildegard have subtle links to Templar traits and to Angelic tongues such as Enochian. Show details available from http://www.linnmaxwell.com

The first film file was shot against the light and shows some pale rendition of St Bernard of Clairvaux, but the second film file shows a much better recording of colours. Both files show how well the Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 can handle instant filming of challenging scenes.

This is short film file was shot on the Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 entirely on location in Scotland on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. This new smart phone is well equipped to capture festival scenes such as this. With the video resolution set at 1280x720 the files are good quality. The original 3gp file has been encoded in H.264 before being loaded to YouTube.
