An attempt to produce a 'moving watercolour' of a recent visit to one of England's finest Country Houses; Mapperton Manor, in Dorset. The original footage is pin-sharp, but the finished edit seemed, well, a bit -
mmmk . .so what?
The sharp version is clearly a better 'record' . . but this is much closer to what it 'felt' like to be there. Stick with it . . there are some really dream-like sequences, further on. I hope you will find it to be a really nice chill-out movie.
Personally, I loves it . . but then I served time in Art School - and that's something you never really recover from ( Thank goodness! ) :0}

A once-glorious Grade I-listed mansion gutted by fire is set to become the UK’s biggest restoration project after it was put on the market for £3million.
Parnham House was until recently a glorious Elizabethan pile and one of the most important homes in the Westcountry.
Its owner, Austrian-born financier Michael Treichl, had spent 15 years restoring the manor home before it was destroyed in a suspicious blaze in 2017.

Beaminster BEM-in-stər is a small town and civil parish in Dorset, England, situated in the West Dorset administrative district approximately 15 miles northwest of the county town Dorchester. It is sited in a bowl-shaped valley near the source of the small River Brit. The 2013 mid-year estimate of the population of Beaminster parish is 3,100.
In its history Beaminster has been a centre of manufacture of linen and woollens, the raw materials for which were produced in the surrounding countryside. The town experienced three serious fires in the 17th and 18th centuries; the first of these, during the English Civil War, almost destroyed the fabric of the town. Beaminster parish church is notable for its architecture, particularly its handsome tower.
In the Domesday Book of 1086 the manor of Beaminster was recorded as being owned by the See of Salisbury. Bishop Osmund gave it as a supplement to two of the Cathedral prebends in 1091. Previously Beaminster was a centre for the production of linen and woollens. Flax was grown and sheep kept on the surrounding hills and the town was locally more important than it is today: factories were constructed in the 18th and early 19th centuries, and as many as seventeen inns existed in the town in the early 20th century. No railway line came through Beaminster and as a result the town declined relative to other local towns such as Bridport and Dorchester.
Beaminster is sited between 50 to 80 metres (160 to 260 ft) above sea level in a bowl-shaped valley, surrounded by hills which rise to 244 metres (801 ft) at Beaminster Down to the northeast. The River Brit and many small streams emerge from springs on the slopes above the town. The confluences of several of these streams are within the town's boundaries. Beaminster's growth has historically been along the course of these streams, resulting in a settlement pattern that is roughly star-shaped. Beaminster is situated approximately 45 miles (72 km) south of Bristol, 38 miles (61 km) west of Bournemouth, 35 miles (56 km) east of Exeter and 15 miles (24 km) northwest of the county town Dorchester.
