Sites&Sounds: Athens Pride 2007 WEB DESIGN VIDEOS - PHOTO EDITING VIDEO CLIPS

Athens Pride 2007 took place Saturday June 23rd at the city\'s centre. The event involved gathering at Klafthmonos Square browsing organisations\' stands early in the afternoon and a parade from Klafthmonos via Stadiou Street, Vassilissis Amalias Avenue, Syndagma Square [in front of the Greek Parliament], Panepistimiou Avenue, Stadiou again and Klafthmonos. A party followed.I shot this video with a handheld digital camera and edited it using Adobe Premiere Pro v1.0\n\nBetween 4min 52sec and 5min 5sec in this video, I felt constrained to apply a mosaic effect on a sequence showing random people by a bus stop watching the parade. This is because, after hitting the rec off button, first a man and then a woman verbally attacked me, the woman demanding all footage of her erased, while the man even threatened to break my camera into a thousand pieces. \nI have been filming and photographing for more than a decade now but this is only the second time anyone ever threatens me so agressively [first time was in 2001 while reporting on an arson case]. I am against any kind of violence, be it physical or verbal, yet I felt I would better not show these people in my video if they so desperately wished so.
