The Movie Trailer (30 secs)
---------------------------
I Wandered, Lonely as a Runaway Chainsaw
---------------------------
And, if the Trailer (above) seems interesting - here is the 14-minute short movie, made for the Bathurst Remembers competition:
RUNAWAY CHAINSAW - in Bathurst
If you watch the movie, please `Like' or `Dislike' (i.e. Give it a `thumbs-up', [or, down]
on YouTube), i.e. see the little `thumb' icons, on the top-right of the screen, above.
Actually if The Ribbon Gang is of interest (and they should be, as - they'd beat `The Kelly Gang' in a fight, any day - there was 143 of them, at one point) - then, I recommend you take a look at Barry Cubitt's excellent online historical work about The Ribbon Gang, and, also, see Henry Bialowas' excellent book, Ten Dead Men (Bialowas 2010),And, if Kelso history is of interest, see Kelso Village: Book 1 (2001) by Alan McRae and Carol Churches. (Copies of these two books are available for purchase, in the Bathurst Historical Society.) -------------------------

* (Also - P.S. - I know that `Bathurst' is not spelt: `Bathrust', but it is an easy typo to make...)
------------------
Also - just by the way - above is only
the (14-minute) `short film' version...
so...

`RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.... rrrring-a-ding-ding-ding.... RRRRRRRRRRRR ! ' (TRANSLATION: "Although I am only a humble chainsaw, I too have hopes, dreams, ambitions, desires...")
Also - as an `explanatory aside': There is a 14 minute time-limit on the Bathurst RemembersYouTube videos, so, that's the main reason that the `full extended credits' are included here online, e.g. with the CCA 3.0 details, and so on. (Also my problem is, I'm usually so busy filming, I sometimes forget to write down, who I need to Thank - and then later I think of it, and I feel terrible for not properly Thanking people who really deserve a credit or appreciation, so, that's what's good about an `Extended Online Credits' blog page; you can keep updating it, as you remember who you forgot to Thank...!)
------------------
Also - if, of interest - just regarding, Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 - and, the use of royalty-free Music and also Sound Effects sourced from the web in this project - the following text is taken from the SoundBible website:
`Creative
Commons Attribution 3.0is one of many CC Audio types. Creative Commons
Attribution 3.0 put simply means you can use this audio but you must attribute
your work to this person. [e.g.] If the audio is from Mike Koenig then you need to
give him credit somewhere. That somewhere could be in the credits, the cd
cover, or a link to the sounds page from your site.'
So, obviously I didn't do literally everything on the film, as, I actually sourced much of the Music (and Sound FX) online, at the royalty-free websites, above.
But - I guess I sort of did, everything else, more or less...
It was an interesting experiment to try and do everything yourself on a film! (That's also why, I mentioned the short film "BAMBI MEETS GODZILLA" (1969) in the End Credits...
i.e. one guy did pretty much all of that film, too.)
