Remastering Old Poem Videos

I'm sorry it's been very quiet here the last month or two, but once again I've managed to become distracted. This time the cause is related to my YouTube channel, and centers on video editions of some of my older poems.

When I first started uploading video versions of my poems to YouTube, I would read the poem and add audio of my reading to a video to create an audio/visual version of what was on the page. However, after a couple of tries at this I decided to opt for the silent format, whereby I would reproduce the text on the screen with the same pictures and music by no reading from me. Now looking back on those old videos, I've decided that this style doesn't really work for poetry, so I'm going through the list and remastering those old videos. Only my silent animal poems won't be remastered.

So far I have remastered versions of "Night of the Dhole", "Rudraprayag", "Kalua", "Ghosts of Sariska", "The Tiger and Me" and "Red Duke" up and running. There are many more still waiting to be finished, but I will have those up and running in due course. In the meantime, there's still a lot to look forward to over the next few weeks, including my analysis of Harry Baker's "Paper People", and an update on my long-gestating Mametz Wood project. All this and more will be on the way soon - he says.

New Videos (The Tiger and Me and Red Duke)

Hi guys.

Hope you're all enjoying the new year so far. It's snowing in Frynwys today, which is making the village look quite exquisite but is making access outside my house difficult.

Just wanted to let you guys know that videos for two poems have gone up on my YouTube channel; 'The Tiger and Me', and an exclusive poem-video 'The Red Duke'. You can find the links to these poems on the 'Videos' page of this blog. Also coming up is a video for 'Ideas' and after my previous article on Sherlock, I will be casting my verdict on the final episode of the series this Sunday. Hopefully it'll be good.

Have a good weekend, and I'll see you all soon.
