A poor quality copy from tv of one of four 1 minute films I made back in 1992 at the request of some of the local 'Lions Club' around fund raising for the RTE telethon. Doc Darcy and I used a single prosumer video camera, two VCRs and an Amiga Computer to make it - each edit became a frame tracking pain and the simple Dundalk graphic took hours to set up and render - something that can be done in a couple of seconds with today's tech. We somehow learned to make it without the aid of a safety rope, manuals or any tuition/instruction. I have little idea where those that I cajoled into taking part ended up. It's maybe notable for the anonymous street reference to the LA riots in the previous month of April and for the (first) footage of the Harp Larger Brewery's automated Kegging plant - allegedly then costing £3 Million to create ( which was just a couple of hundred yards from their Brewmaster's club - where some serious 'liquid dynamics' research was conducted - the only pub I've ever been in that didn't have a till !) There is also a broader story about the overall RTE submissions / Competition process - but thats for another day.
