Fiddleford Manor North Dorset. Photography - Panasonic HC-W850 (Camcorder) DJI Phantom 3 Standard (UAV). Fiddleford Manor (also known as Fiddleford Mill) is a medieval manor house near Sturminster Newton, North Dorset. It is thought to have been originally built around 1370 for William Latimer, the sheriff of Somerset and Dorset. The house is now owned by English Heritage and open for the public to visit throughout the year, there is an adjoining building to the north that continues to serve as a private residence and is not open to the public.

Fiddleford Manor, Must watch!

I went on this visit to Fiddleford Manor with my friend James Peatling of Wimborne. He had my old Panasonic HCV100. I used his clips in the intro and outro and one clip in the movie. I did all of the filming of myself, although I did go back at 10am which was opening time and luckily I was the only visitor, I'd had the idea for the speech after the first visit. nIt would have been difficult to do with other visitors there!
I've used 3 editing programs, Adobie Premier Eliments 11, Windows Movie Maker, and the YouTube editor. I guess I spent about 10 hours editing on and off, I'll have to time my next big project, but the editing was a way of resting from more physical work.
I'm reasonably chuffed with the result!

My YouTube site used to be called simbo57 but then Google wanted us to use real names to try to make trolls more accountable so I have reverted to my real name John Simpson. But if you want to find my videos put Simbo57 in the search box and they all come up.
I am not the news reporter or the boxer. To work out who I am please watch my videos. To find out who someone is you need to drill down into their personality and try and find out what makes them tick. This can be interesting!
