An interesting collection of flash videos....
As most of you are aware, I have been quite busy on the flash mob scene and this footage collective shows what happened on those days (those filmed by myself marked with a *).

First of all, the Flash Pillow Fight at Leicester Square. Unfortunately, my own footage here didn't upload successfully, but if you want a good detailed accounnt of what happened on the day, then this video is definitely ideal - you can even see me make a cameo appearance at around 7:02 where I had begun to join in the mass brawl myself!

Now here's where the fun really begins....

*01.04.08 @ 17:00 - World Freeze Day at Paddington Station*
This is the whole five minutes of the freeze from my point of view. Although I was moving around a fair bit (mainly to catch as many people as possible who were holding their position!), it soon becomes clear which people at the station were keeping still and who had the bemused looks on their faces. Being there for those few minutes was almost as if it were a real human life-like version of Madam Tussauds, and this video provides an alternative view of the goings-on, featuring an interview with some of the freeze participants, and my own cameo at 1:18 where filming paths seemed to cross!

*11.04.08 @ 18:00 - Rickmob at Liverpool Street Station*
Here, the station was crowded with people for just a few minutes, so that they could pay homage to a Rick Astley classic. Perhaps not as good as the other two (I do apologise for swearing at the end of my video), but then again it was the first time something like this was ever done, and can only get better with practice. I also filmed myself making my way from end of the station to the other after the Rickrolling had ceased (*video clip here*) so that you could get an idea of who was singing that day, and my other recommendation is this video which neatly blends other footage from the day's events with a great reworking of the song in question!

Hope that keeps you amused for a little while. There could well be other flash mob events in the future, but for now I must turn my head round to other matters that need attention....

Not so much Astley as Ghastly...

[1988: Series 2. A dungeoneer is leaving Merlin's hall.]

Merlin: Oh, er, take this exit. [A new portal appears.] It's much better.

[The dungeoneer does so. He enters a dark room with Rick Astley's face looming large in one corner.]

Rick Astley: Welcome to Rick's Playpen. Now you're here, I'm Never Gonna Give Up. We'll be together a while. Together... Forever! [Evil laughter.]

Treguard: Oooh, nastley! I'm afraid you were 'Rickrolled' by Merlin, team. You know the rules, and so do I: your quest cannot continue, so it's D, I, S, M, I, S, S.
