BVE Expo in the UK

[Bernard Newnham] “I saw one iMac and no FCPX. PPro and Avid were what people were running.” Yes, mostly on Macs

I went yesterday and had a great time getting there.

I took the river bus and then the Emirates Cable Car over the Thames to the Excel Centre. The Cable car is great experience if slightly scary when in the middle and its swaying in the wind.

The Exhibition seemed smaller than usual with less stands and less stuff on the stands that were there. Felt to me like it was a recession show but I made contact with Miller Tripod people to give them feedback on the Solo Tripod with Compass head I bought last year and said hello to the leasing company who have helped our business recently.

What I had wanted to attend was the presentation by Philip Bloom, showing 4k footage, but I got there too late. I did say hello to him briefly on the Canon stand but couldn’t think of anything riverting to say to him apart from thanking him for all his tutorials and product reviews.

The only presentation I saw a bit of was an Adobe one with Simon Walker.

So for me the highlight was the journey and watching the sunset as I travelled back over the Thames.

Waterloo Sunset is playing now…

Yes – completely OT – the cable car is worth a trip –

A small joy was on the Hitachi stand, where I was given this –

He turns out to be a USB stick. I shall obviously henceforth always buy Hitachi

[Paul Neumann] “Waterloo Sunset is playing now…”

“Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don’t need no friends
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise.”

And now all the Kinks fans sigh as the 4 part harmonies take over on the la la’s.

La La La

Ah there we are – La La La

The Thames is now a clean river but don’t let Ray Davies know. With the greatest respect a special cigarette was prepared and given to him at a concert in Exeter in 1973.

And you are in paradise?

[Bernard Newnham]

Not quite, but I have to be a touch pedantic –

Waterloo Bridge at sunset.

I was walking across once and stopped to admire the view. After a while I realised that another chap was doing the same a few feet away. He was Richard Harris, who, it seemed, lived at the Savoy near the north end of the bridge.

Your not being pedantic, your being a name dropper. I’m being pedantic.
