JagJag Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi AllI downloaded a sequence some time ago but it seems to have vanished off my system and I cannot remember the name to try and hunt it down.The show I am trying to trace was taken in a war graves cemetery (WW2) in Europe, a very powerful sequence. It was about the American (or Canadian) dead. There was a music sound track and the story was told by text. From memory parts of the show were raised off the background by using a shadow effect around the image which was sitting on top of a slightly larger background. The end was a few shots inside the cemetery building showing a chandelier light made from metal which the story line gave details of. Again, if my grey cells are working, the author was Dutch, or something close to.I'm involved in AV locally and want to show this, along with other sequences, to try and encourage others to take up AV. In advance, thanks for your help.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi JohnThe Forum, Beechbrook & Mediafire all have search facilities. If you type in what you think the title was you may get lucky.Yachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagJag Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 YachtsmanThanks, but the problem is I can't remember any part of the name as I first downloaded it around 2005/6. I assume I got this off Beechbrook and I have gone through all their current listings, where the name doesn't indicate they are definitely something else, but without any luck. I'm not sure if sequences are removed from Beeckrook after a time to make way for new material but I assume this is happening as the search always seems to top out at 16 pages. I always try and solve my problems by REALLY searching the web so my posting here is a final cry for help.It could be the same problem I am having getting "Oradour" where the link from Beechbrook is not responding.Thanks to Lennart who e-mailed me about probable sequences but none of these was the one I am looking for.

JohnHi JohnI think I was wrong about Mediafire I can't find a search facility on there. I know one of our moderators has a show of the type you are looking for and I know he will read this post. I saw it in 2007 at our camera club, maybe he will advise if it is the one you are looking for?Yachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagJag Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 KenYou are a GENIUS. "Sixty-Five Acres of Crosses" was exactly what I was looking for. As soon as I saw the name I knew you had come up trumps. It has been safely downloaded and viewed. My grey cells are obviously still working as my description and nationality of the author appear to have been spot on. (I must remember to tell the doctor she can now take me off the tablets)With regard to - "remember "JESUS SAVES" AND not on your hard drive" you are priceless (and as mad as a hatter) and I mean that as a compliment. It's 7.12 a.m. with me and I still haven't gone to bed and, from what I see of the amount of help you give on the Forum, you must be the same, only your computer must make meals and coffee as well as it appears you never leave it.Your reward on this earth! If you are ever coming to Ireland contact me and I will see to it that you are shown all the right places, you might even get a bed.Thanks again to you and all who helped with searching for this. I assume I can contact Bill through the Beechbrook site to give him my thanks for the time he must have taken to retrieve this. Hopefully others are now able to see this sequence of which the music, images, inscriptions and the authors written words just stop you in your tracks for 5 minutes and give some sense of the loss.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling my grandson about a guy i worked with who had been a tank driver -- he would literally shake when he talked about WW2glad we were able to fix you upre: You are a GENIUS. -- there are a few who would disagreeken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagJag Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 KenI now have an idea as to why this sequence was deleted off my computer. Whilst the .zip file and Title are named "Sixty-Five Acres of Crosses" the file actually unzips as margraten.exe which months later, when I was housekeeping my files, meant nothing to me so got shredded.I have downloaded and viewed the other sequence you were kind enough to supply and others that some other replies directed me to. Yes, not what you want to see every day but it is good that people can see what the past was, the pity is so few have learned the lesson.Of the 2 Margraten sequences I prefer "Sixty-Five Acres of Crosses". The images are so expressive and the music cuts you.Thanks againJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Cox Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 John( What appears to have happened is that whilst the .zip file and Title are named "Sixty-Five Acres of Crosses" the file actually unzips as margraten.exe which months later, when I was housekeeping my files, meant nothing to me so got shredded. )this statement SHOWS HOW IMPORTANT it is to keep file names or any naming protocol consistent - people cannot seem to get this simple thing -- they figger everybody in the world can figure out their simple code -- years ago when hawk and i downloaded everything from Bill's server checking for the false virus,this sort of sloppieness caused me real problems trying to catalogue things -- but then we were kind of green then thks ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
