Is this the worst commercially produced video ever?
Borders Railway a year down the line - Video - Midlothian Advertiser
(You may have to wait for a Marks & Sparks advert to play first.) Apparently filmed during a series of earthquakes by a cameraman suffering from St. Vitus' Dance and with the direst of audio, it comes complete with typos in the titles. |

That has to be a joke? or surely it was done by an employee filming another employee?

I assume they filmed it with someone's smartphone.

its hilarious, all they needed was a fella like the Nelson Mandela memorial signer and it would have been a right howler!

Re: Is this the worst commercially produced video ever?
It is pretty bad , but surely the work of an amateur with no clue or skills rather than a 'commercial' production !
The project is an interesting story , so I hope it is being documented by someone competent . |

Re: Is this the worst commercially produced video ever?
Maybe we should get together Derek and make them an offer. :-)
I bet NetWork Rail aren't too impressed as they provided someone to be interviewed in various locations. This may be a local paper but have a look at the size of the parent organisation: Quote:
One day to film and one to edit should be more than enough. What should we offer to do that? I'm sure we have all the gear we need. (Rain covers included). EDIT: Here's one of their previous videos: Transport minister on Borders Railway project - Midlothian Advertiser No cellphone here (although the audio is iffy and the transitions cheesy).

Now: The best of the bunch!
By contrast, I recently discovered some interesting and professionally executed videos on the progress of the Borders Railway presented by Paul Brownlee of Radio Borders and produced by Stuart Cameron of Hotdisc Studios, Selkirk.

Re: Is this the worst commercially produced video ever?
Hi Colin , I had been away for the holidays after my last post here and hadn't seen your last message .
I'm glad someone has taken the trouble to do some research and produce a decent video telling the whole story ; I've only watched episode 1 just now but it looks well made with some nice archive footage , decent interviews and a presenter to hold the story together . Yes , if you ever need a hand with anything locally , I'd be happy to help any way I can . |
