360 Bonsai

The 360 degree view I posted on another thread seems to be popular, so

I put this one of my escallonia together earlier today.



This one was done by BBC NI back in 2006. They came to my garden and filmed for 2 days just to get enough for 6 minutes!! The series was called 'Secret Gardens'. If you can get past my 'patter' you will see that they did some nice 360 shots of my trees. I should have kept there electric turntable

Excellent presentation again Ian. You come across well on the interview as well. Not easy I'm sure.

Ian, your patter was brilliant! I enjoyed the show and seeing your trees. Its nice to see and hear the folks we see on IBC.
Salut, Todd

hi ian, great tree , thank you for the compliment , it was nice to see one of my old trees again .i think i was the first person to use escallonia for bonsai , certainly the first to show one in the gingko.i always remember walter pall saying to me what a powerful little tree it was , which i considered a great compliment , then tony tickle,s gang hijacked me in the bar on the boat going home wanting to know everything about escallonia, i told them i,d got a big one to dig up when i got home , and that one is the one that was in gingko no.5. so from digging it up to showing only took 4 years . regards john oakton

John,

that was your tree?
and the elm posted here before too?
you got amazing collection before you left for thailand...Its must have been sad for you to leave those trees behind.

ps
When you visit the philippines (like you said) I got some surprise for you that you can take home.
2012 is the perfect time,ABFF/ ASPAC will be here.

Much Mahalo for sharing Ian!! That was really cool. At least now I know how you look like.

Dear Ian Young

I find your videos interesting, the first one is my favourite.

Kind reagrds vonne

Cool vids...

Thanks for all your kind words everyone, and yes, now you know I'm a tall bald guy with a funny accent

I would just like to clarify that the narrator in the second clip used the term 'Master' even after I told him not too!!! He dubbed it on later.

John,
your tree was a big inspiration to me at Gingko. I kept coming back to it as I knew I had this one in the garden waiting for my return. Thanks for replying, it made my day.

I have my eye on a few more in my Dad's garden. I even talked him around to letting me collect them. They are a bit bigger than this one and one is pale yellow leaf with dark purple flower. Spade's out in the Spring

Will,
If I remember right you had your eyes on one to collect. Any progress?

Ian

Loved the videos thanks for showing

Trying to figure out all the features on Movie Maker. Put this one together this afternoon for a bit of practice.

Another excellent video Ian. Very good indeed.

Thanks Will,

I wasn't sure about the choice of transition between slides. It's a bit hard on the eyes and a tad too fast as well. When I converted it, it seemed to speed up! All part of the learning curve.
