The song of this music video is about an Airedale called Paddy that wandered the Wellington wharves throughout the 1930s in search of Elsie Glasgow, his three & half-year-old owner. Alas though, Elsie had contracted pneumonia and died and poor Paddy, whom she had named Dash, spent the rest of his life searching for her. He was adopted by the harbour board and set to wander the docks at night to keep ‘no-gooders’ at bay. He became well known by the wharfies, and ships’ crews’ that came regularly to the port. He would sometimes slip on board unseen as a ship cast off, and venture across the Pacific and back…

[music video] This original song, written & composed by pianist/singer-songwriter Cindy Muggeridge, is performed by The Raven Mavens from Wellington, NZ. It is to the memory of a good friend who died suddenly, leaving the message to take joy in the moment because life is shorter than we think.

[performance video  – excerpt    2:53] An example of a single, hand-held camera shot ‘guerilla style’ and edited to a two-track ‘grab’ of the live mix. An agency wanted a promotional video featuring 5 of its acts in 5-minutes but could only afford one camera – this excerpt features 3 of those acts. |    Editor   Music Editor   Camera: Barry Carter

[Music video   2:49] Dedicated to a friend who had just died of cancer at the very young age of 46.  Shot ‘from the hip’, without a script at the Upper Hutt Annual Spring Fair on a very cheap camcorder, it is the first footage I ever shot or edited.  The music is original and taken from a suite for church organ, written many years ago.  

[performance video – excerpt   3:16] Courtenay Ludbook wanted a video of her graduation abstract dance piece Ab-surd, which was performed in front of an intimate house concert audience in Te Aro valley Wellington, as part of the 2012 Fringe Arts Festival. She has just graduated from Toi Whakaari Drama School. This is the Pas de Deux. Editor Camera: Barry Carter Choreographer: Courtenay Ludbrook Dancers: Courtenay Ludbrook & Carmelo Mantarro
