Here are some video clips, divided into two categories:

Just for Fun -- Videos of things other than cruisin'.

Music info is at the bottom of the page. There is a section in the Forum devoted to Digital Video Editing, Video Speical Effects, Video Editing Software (in particular, Adobe products) and any other aspect of the medium that anyone might want to discuss. It is a great hobby!

The Chase	Our bird-dog 'Joe' got a surprise when we unleashed our dog-bird 'Q', a cockatoo.	1:32	RealVideo 9: 2.5 MB DL Windows Media 9: 2.7 MB
Loitering	A few years back, my son (the one with the helmet in the video) took my camera and recorded himself and his buddies rollerblading and skateboarding at the local strip mall - which is posted against such things. For punishment, I put together this "embarrassing" video. Extreme sports as ballet.	3:10	RealVideo 9: 8 MB DL Windows Media 9: 7.8 MB
The 50th Anniversary Party	Hopefully somewhat entertaining, this is an account of my in-law's 50th anniversary party. It was held at the "camp" in Maine in July of 2001. Shown here is the first 1/3 of the video. Included are the preparations, the annual gathering on the 'steps' for a family picture (quite an ordeal), and the beginning of the party -- natural disaster included. My father-in-law, Dave, has Alzheimer's disease. At the end of this segment, you'll see him suddenly become lucid and join in with the barbershop quartet (along with his son). It was a very surprising (and touching) moment, not since repeated. Dave passed away in June, 2006.	17:27	Real Video 9: 45 MB DL
Wells Scores	Son Wells scores a touchdown for the old man (from TV broadcast).	1:06	RealVideo 9: 1.9 MB DL
Londonderry Lancers 2003 Highlights	I volunteered to make the annual highlights video for the high school football team -- it was a huge hit at the annual banquet. Here are some highlights of the highlights (Football with some Swing, special effects included. Game segments mostly removed. The full video is 57 minutes).
