Chelsea Bridge

Duke Ellington's musical partner, Billy Strayhorn, wrote this tune in 1941. I made this video almost entirely in my new "Final Cut" program. In order to offer you Tubers Stereo sound, I had to lower substantially the video quality... sorry about that... the original video is crystal clear, but without degrading the picture, I wouldn't be able to make it Stereo. Hope you like it! 8-)

Fantastic. :) And how dare you say you still don't know how to make videos? I'd love some of your skills.

Ah my home town (where I could never bear to live again lol)

Thanks Loreleila! Then you're familiar with that Chelsea Bridge! Cool! Some of the photos were of the original bridge, before they rebuilt it. I like historical things. I'm glad you liked the video! 8-)

so this was done on a Mac? impressive...were you a pro before or just a gifted amateur?

[DieselBodine]

Hi Boyd... Yes, I did it on a Mac G4, 1 GHz Dual Processor, MDD... the noisiest Mac ever built. It's nickname is "The Wind Tunnel." Other than its noisiness, it's a great machine. I'm running OS 10.4.11. Oh, Despite the negative connotation, I consider myself just an amateur.
