P J Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 The whole council and its officers should be forced to watch this and reflect upon how they are viewed by the good folk of this town. I loved the "We shall shop in Widnes" bit algy, pure class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Absolutely brilliant yet again. Can you put them on DVD? You could make a fortune. Is it possible to leave the subs up longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Absolutely brilliant yet again. Can you put them on DVD? You could make a fortune. Is it possible to leave the subs up longer? Peter, it is difficult as you have to synchronise the start and end of the written sentence with the audio dialogue of the video, ie. start too early and the sentence begins before the mouth opens, end too late and the mouth has closed or you overlap the next typed sentence, it really is a balancing act to try and put enough into the typed sentence to make it entertaining against the total realism of the video audio. it consists of simple maths (adding/subtraction) and testing, then in most instances correction before moving on to the next piece of dialogue, it's a good job I'm retired or I wouldn't have time to do it, I take approximately 10 to 12 hours over two or three days for me to do a 4 minute video. I have tried making a script before starting and found it a total waste of time, so I start then see where the plot takes me. The major problem is they don't get much viewing on You Tube as it is only the Warringtonians that show any interest, so a DVD wouldn't be really be worthwhile. I couldn't resist inserting the two sketches of Arthur Bennetts interpretation of how he saw Warrington in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazj Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I notice Cllr Parish and the birdman of Birchwood haven't responded yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Parish Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just waiting for last night's budget meeting. We were so impressed by the video (Algy, there are plenty of places where you could volunteer to give 12 hours...) that we voted to spend £50m of your money toward the £130m cost of redeveloping Bridge Street and the Market.

Peter T Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Is this money you haven't got? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Steve.... so you borrow £50 million to start the project and then finace the other £80 million through some kind of PFI deal (that your former glorious leader Gordon Brown was so fond of.....) and our great great grandkids carry on paying it off??

algy Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Bit of a 'cleft stick' this one, if we wish to save Bridge Street or any other part of Warrington's town centre then we have to accept it will cost a great deal of the towns expenditure, personally where the money comes from does not concern me, we badger the council to do something positive and when they do we hit them over the head with a 'big stick', the people of the town put them in power so leave them to get on with it, if they make a mess of the project then we can criticise them, until then I suggest that for now, we should 'put up and shut up'.

Peter T Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Algy, What haven't they made a mess of? the flod defenses along Knutsford rd are about 4 to 6 ft high. mJust where is all this water coming from that we need barriers that high? If the water rises that high all of warrington will be under water.# How can it be ok to be millions of pounds in debt, cut needed services and yet keep spending like there is no tomorrow. If they hadn't added Golden Square 2, boots and others would still be in bridge Street? Until they sort the road system out, they shouldn't be doing anything that will bring more cars to Warrington. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 , until then I suggest that for now, we should 'put up and shut up'. Isn't that what all politicians want you to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Isn't that what all politicians want you to do? Wolfie, regarding your reply you are possibly correct. I wasn't suggesting we should 'put up and shut up' over everything, just in this instance where we have badgered them to do something about regenerating Bridge street, sit back and wait see what happens, let's face it I don't think we could influence the outcome whatever we say.

Cleopatra Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 So true, algy, you couldn't influence any outcome. When it comes to listening to the electorate, councillors do not have any ears to hear with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 It's a 'speculate to accumulate' type of situation isn't it? Spend to make Bridge St more attractive and, well, attract more people. Leave everywhere to de-generate, people start avoiding Warrington as it has a reputation for being grotty, decline in footfall, traders start pulling out etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
