Midnight Video

An archive of two chaps, a laptop and a mic attempting to unearth the lost, forgotten and overlooked in cinema.

Midnight Video 19: Safety Last, The Orchestra and Jonathan Livingstone Seagull

And so we reach the average of the combat soldier in Vietnam, but for Midnight Video 19 we avoid the combat zone by putting our lives in danger without the aid of the military as we scale dizzying heights in Safety Last.  We then make a technological leap from the silent era of cinema to the ushering in of HD and digital video trickery with The Orchestra before enduring a voyage of self discovery as search for our inner Jonathan Livingstone Seagull.
