The funny thing is I hadn't really planned to do a video production
around this event. I was helping out, running the slide show. I brought
my video camera just in case. I stashed it behind the off-stage podium
so I could keep an eye on it. I only had about 100 minutes of tape. A
lot of people with much better equipment were video taping Winter
Soldier Southwest.

Then I realized that I had a very unique visual perspective off to the
side there and running the slide show was really lite weight , so I took
out my camera(s) and later I even setup my tripod. I had kicked myself
around for not getting the external mike and side-angle lens for the
HV30 before I went to Vietnam. Money was tight, nevertheless I spent a
lot of time looking for them in Vietnam. I finally got them when I got
back so that wouldn't happen again. So I got decent sound without
connecting to the sound system and I got good closeups, This is the result:

The first one you may have seen already as I posted it 3 days after the
event and it will past 300 views today. Ryan Endicott's testimony was
very moving and stands alone in Winter Soldier Southwest - "Just Another
Tuesday" . Shooting from
the side as I was I was able to zoom in and frame Ryan, and Devon Read
and Wendy Barranco in the same shot . YouTube has a 10 minute limit for
mortals like me. Ryan's whole testimony was more than 10 minutes.
Someone has posted his whole testimony in two parts and the links are
below, together with anything else I could find. I didn't want to break
it in the middle. I think it lessens the impact, so I did one 10 minute
piece. The comment around this one are also very interesting, especially
between Ryan and his former comrades. I think it will be very effective.

Winter Soldier Southwest - "Just Another Tuesday"

I was just going to leave it at that but I reviewed some of the footage
while I was up in Oregon last weekend and when I got back I was
surprised to see there still wasn't much up on YouTube. (What are they
doing with it?) So yesterday I hammered out these pieces: Winter
Solider Southwest MFSO IVAW VVAW VFP
features Arturo Cambron,
Devon Read, Tina Richards, Elliot Adams, Jake Diliberto and Ed Garza.
