Rare archive footage of Sid Vicious auditioning for X-Factor and losing his cool...

Enjoy!

I wish I would have thought of this. Great work. I still have the 12inch with Ronnie Biggs on otherside.

Glad you like it.

I've still got Anarchy in the UK on the EMI label! (I wonder how many folk here know the significance of that)

I've now given Sid his own Twitter page: Sid Vicious on Twitter (http://twitter.com/SID_VICI0US) He must be turning in his grave...

New improved version up now!

The first version was a 200MB upload in H264 format, and YouTube encoded that down to a 15MB MP4 Sid Vicious auditions for X-Factor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkP6fT4-x20&fmt=18)

15MB for 4 minutes! It was looking a bit rough.

So I selected Adobe Media Encoder from the export option in Premiere, set it at about 700Mbits/seconds, and got a .flv file of 32MB, and uploaded that: Sid Vicious auditions for X-Factor! (HQ) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joze5yGLUJc) (YouTube leaves any .flv encodings alone) This is noticeably better quality. But it may stutter on decrepit machines.

.

I will check it out. Do you have any other work I can look at online?
