I enjoy watching these videos, I’m always impressed by the fact that they pull off such a performance. Great long shots over the drummers, who all appear to be in time with one another.

Some Thoughts On Instagram Live

On 21/01/2017 By TontowilliamsIn Video2 Comments

I did my first Instagram Live post yesterday. It was of course from the allotment.

Two of my followers saw that I was lived and watched part of the broadcast.

I’ve got a couple of observations. First it takes a while for your followers to get and respond to the notification that you’re Live, so probably best to start the broadcast and then at least wait until someone shows up. Otherwise you are talking to yourself.

Secondly there is no record of your broadcast, when you finish it, the video’s gone. Which means no one can “catch up” if they arrive late, unlike Periscope.

I’ll probably use it again, but they’ll be of the moment broadcasts, rather than anything I want to keep.

I was going to wait until the next Quick Links post to share this video, but I think I’ll post it now before Fridays inauguration. I follow Pete Souza on Instagram and have enjoyed his pictures. I’m not sure what he’ll be doing after Friday but I hope he continues to take amazing photos.

Star Wars

On 17/12/2016 By TontowilliamsIn Film, Life, Video2 Comments

There’s a new Star Wars film out today.

The original films were a staple of my childhood, before video and DVD the only way to see them was in the cinema. My Dad took me to see all of them when they first came out. When the three prequel films came out, I took him to see them. When The Force Awakens came out he was too ill to make a trip to the cinema, so I bought him a copy on DVD. I don’t think he ever got a chance to watched it before he passed away though.
I’ve heard great things about the new film Rogue One, from people who’s opinion I trust, so I think I’m going to go catch this one in the cinema in honour of my Dad. Probably some time in the New Year, after the kids are back in school and I can go to a hopefully quieter day time showing.

Christmas Red Cabbage

I love red cabbage at any time of the year, but it’s even better when you enhance it’s flavour. I found this recipe on YouTube, and I think I’ll be giving it ago for this Christmas.
