Vid: Enemy at the Door Trailer
The commentfest continues! And talking of obscure and British things...
As threatened, a 'trailer' of sorts for ITV's 1978-80 WWII drama, Enemy at the Door. I made this as an experiment, because I thought I'd solved my issues with sound-editing on my vidding software. Guess what? I haven't, so this is not entirely a success - there are some sound issues, especially at the start, and it was getting worse with every edit. You may take it as read that I'm not doing anything else like this in a hurry. Still, that's what experiments are for, yes?
However, that said, it is still better than anything Network or Acorn have bothered to do for it and maybe it will explain something of why I like it so much. Or just bore everybody, I'm not sure at this point. Inevitably, there are some spoilers (especially for 1.13), but hopefully not too bad out of context (& not beyond 2.1 because Network wouldn't let me rip 2.2-2.13).
Enemy at the Door Trailer
(3.48 mins. Warning for general war themes, some non-graphic death/violence. Music: Nimrod by Elgar.) "War must be fought, even if it's only in the mind. You cannot win if you do not fight... but you cannot fight if you do not survive."
(Main cast: Bernard Horsfall, Alfred Burke, Antonia Pemberton, Simon Cadell, Emily Richard, John Malcolm, Simon Lack, Richard Heffer, Helen Shingler. Also featuring guest stars Richard Hurndall, Anthony Stewart Head, Thelma Whiteley, Joss Ackland, James Maxwell, Norma Streader. LWT 1978-80. Producer Michael Chapman.)

Yes, I couldn't alter the sound levels - I think it's a fault in the software because it's rather old now & things wouldn't register. It could still be me, but I'm fairly sure at this point it isn't. It's actually the fact that the music is inaudible at the start and all the weird hitches that was the bigger problem, because at least Alfred Burke was pretty good at talking over the climax of the music. But, yeah. Until I get some new software someday, best to keep any voice/music stuff to a minimum!
