In the beginning I found it hard to
understand the complexities of an Audio
Visual Sequence when my brother in law,
Colin, and sister, Anne spoke of their
involvement with the Western Audio Visual
Enthusiasts.
However, this was soon to change when
we visited them in Bristol and spent an
enjoyable afternoon watching their AV's.
Tears followed laughter when the mood
changed from comedy, 'The Computer
Swallowed Grand-dad', to a beautiful and
moving sequence called, 'An Angler's
Tribute to a River', (The Avon), and I
realized how powerful an AV sequence can
be. An example of this - a particular favourite of mine - can be found in Anne's,
'A Drop of Snow'. During the dark, dull days of January suggestions of Spring
flow from my lap-top screen when I wander the pathways and steep steps in
the Rococo Gardens at Painswick, Gloucestershire and take in the banks of
snowdrops beneath the bare trees. All the while I think I am being watched, I
am not alone, but from where and by whom? Anne's appropriate use of
Vivaldi's Piccolo concerto enhances the scene.
I must add that all of the audio visual sequences I have seen, the
accompanying music doubles, nay, triples the enjoyment and sends me off to
the Music Shop to buy CD's.
