8. Street Organ "De Brandweer"
1 year ago
On 8 June 2008 there was a street organ festival in the Arnhem Open Air Museum in the Netherlands. This was one of the participating organs. The organ is named "De Brandweer" which translates to "The Fire Brigade".
When I was a kid, organs of this type could be regularly seen in the streets of residential areas in Amsterdam and they were always hand powered like the organ in this video and pushed around by three men. Nowadays, possibilities for encountering a street organ are best in shopping areas on a Saturday afternoon.
No editing was done, except for adding text at the end. I don't know how to do that without disrupting the music. Thus the image is shaky at certain points and the organ is frequently obscured by passers-by :-)
Camera settings: hdv mode with 1080i, shutter 1/500 sec.

Erg goed geluid! Arnhem ben ik ook nooit geweest.
I also noticed that the tripod that I used is not very good when you want to readjust the camera position while recording so I probably will look for an improvement in that direction too.
