Carlile Crutcher's Video Blog

Welcome to my page. You will find home videos here that I've put together for my family and my amusement. Enjoy.

The Videos are all encoded with Windows Media Video at a data rate that assumes you have a fast internet connection. If not, you will have to wait a few minutes for each video to download. Even with a fast modem, the clip may not start playing for a few seconds.

At the end of the videos, or when you've had enough, close the blue player page by clicking the "X" in the corner to return here. On most systems you will be able to enlarge the video to full screen by pressing Alt and Return simultaneously. This may show too many rough edges unless you are back a few feet. Another choice is to Right-Click in the video and change the size setting to 200%. That should look pretty good.

In late September 2005 we traveled to La Romita School of Art in the hills overlooking Terni Italy. Terni is an industrial town about 45 miles north of Rome. La Romita is an old monastery that has been in private hands for three generations. The school is a fantastic creative experience for two weeks with artists at all levels. I've never painted before. So far we've visited hidden medieval villages. A rough cut of the first two days are shown here. They were shot in the new HDV format and edited in 16x9 wide screen format.

In April of 2005 we flew to Westminster (Denver) Colorado to see our 4-month old grand daughter, Vivien (Vivi), for the first time. Nat and Rhonda Crutcher are the proud parents. The video is 2 minutes long.

In July of 2005 we rented a house in Gatlinburg Tennessee where Henry, Emily and Kaitlyn Crutcher from Atlanta joined up with Louise and me from Louisville.

See pictures of what we rented, but more importantly, see Kaitlyn take her first steps. The video plays for 2 minutes.
