UA-139927741-1
The editing of this film has taken me a few days (in between work and family time) to get to the point that I am happy with it. And this is the vision you will see on the Kickstarter campaign for Graeme's book. The original footage of John Ryan and some of the other artists was supplied by his wife Jan. Yesterday Jan gave the approval to use the original footage and confirmed that the cameraman was the late Keith Chatto, a giant in Australian comics in his own right. I'd appreciate any help in being able to identify the fourth artist towards the end of the material, and certainly Jan said she wasn't sure. The other artists (in case the rolling credits went too quick for you) were Jim 'The Potts' Russell, John 'Air Hawk' Dixon and Bob 'Boofhead' Clark. Given John and Phil Belbin were good mates, Jan thought it might be him. I'll have to ask his son Graeme, who I caught up with on the day of the Ledgers....but that is a posting for another day! Today, I hope to finish off the text to the Kickstarter campaign. I had hoped to launch today, but it isn't likely: we're having a belated Mothers' Day lunch with our son Will (who stars in this video) and then there will be work. Be reassured, here will be the first place to find out when the campaign gets underway....
