Bob Harris - News Of The World (OGWT Documentary Compilation - UPDATED)

~Use your best judgement, which looks better to you, Freddie grabbing the champagne with his left or right hand?
It's your project at the end of the day so you get to make the decisions.

I will ask if it's more likely to be mirrored in this one second, or the two after it.

Are their any photos you can check from the day?

yeah, but at the same time, I don't want to have to re-render the video because something is wrong, that I could've avoided.

I think the whole portion of the 'Incorrect?' is correct.[/QUOTE]

This

Well.... in the black and white footage the album cover is the correct way around.
Overall it doesn't matter if you flip the colour footage or the footage of Freddie in black and white, it will all end up matching.

V3 is out, perhaps the final draft? Do give feedback, I won't bite, honest haha -Chin

I didn't have a chance to check v3 yet (I will try to do it soon) but I have a small request / suggestion - would it be a problem to do a small "who's who" section? Something (or ANYTHING) which would identify all the people we see at every place they go? In other words do some extended opening or closing credits with all of the people? What do you think?

When do you need all the edits by?

The section around 8:23 should look like this. It's only two B/W bits that were mirrored. The shirt, the direction of the TV it all fits now.

@HelloDelilah

Thanks for the feedback! I've looked at the duplicate footage and the only reason why it's the same audio, is because that particular clip just so happens to have the audio from the video behind it. As the two 'Rock The World' and 'The American Dream' are slightly different, one has more than the other on occasions and this is one of those times.

The 'My Fairy King' texts come from the Champions Of The World/The Phenomenon documentary. Previously Bullub cropped out the image which made for a jarring watch imo :).

And yeah, I've fixed that, my bad haha.

@Schmelvin

Thanks, didn't spot that before, that's now been fixed! :)

It's looking nice.

@Chinwonder2, I meant to mention that these titles are inconsistent from the same party.

8:17 WATC Top of the Pops Airing Party vs 8:53/9:15 NOTW Launch Party

I'll try to review this further after work. When would you like to have all the suggestions? Thanks!

Additional comments:
15:58 and 17:16 Video stops but voice over continues
Interview on couch in living room with all 4 guys tended to be clear in color and blurry in black and white
38:32 - 39:11 Lots of skipping and choppy footage at BBC recording
Duplicates at 40:12 and 40:19, 40:30 and 40:36, 43:03 and 43:09
47:20-48:32 John Deacon interview is clear in color and blurry in black and white
50:36 Choppy transition from color (Sheer Heart Attack), then to grainy black and white (Seven Seas of Rhye)
53:30 Title says "Voice of Roger Taylor" but there is no voice over; should be at 54:25 when his voice appears or take out title all together
1:00:34 "1973 Brian May" appears on footage as well as in earlier footage but didn't notate it

Sorry if I'm being nit picky. I just want to help make it better. :)

By the way the interview starting at 27 minutes was filmed during the US tour, maybe it would be a better idea to put it somewhere to the tour part? Just thinking

Good idea. It would fit better during the tour section.

A few more comments:
1:02:16 It's Late is playing but subtitle says Seven Seas of Rhye
1:02:51 Freeway driving in Cadillac; may want to add location and date; is this in Atlanta?
Same date at 1:05:53 Fort Worth, Dec 10 and 1:13:05 Houston, Dec 10
1:17:08 Duplicate for a second
1:18:42 Stutter
1:18:53 Spread Your Wing subtitle while WWRY playing
1:18:56-1:19:43 A mish mash of clips from different songs; somewhat choppy
1:25:19 Split second of an older man appears
1:24:42 Seven Seas of Rhye 1973 subtitle appears with John Deacon and son

Extras section:
1:34:06-1:37:56 Roger's interview in Italian is quite long
It would be good to highlight WATC official promo spot instead of it being in the middle of all the extras.

That's it for now. I give you credit for doing this as a living/hobby. It's very tedious with a lot of details and effort that goes into one video. :)

Ok, thank you all so much for your input for this.

@HelloDelilah, I have taken a look at some of your suggestions and I thank you. Some of them I can't really do much about, such as the titles and such, but I have patched up the choppy audio and such :)

-Chin

New version is up for more feedback. Hopefully, we're getting close to the final version! :) -Chin
