Default Re: Edinburgh Trams Video's Made By EdinburghTramTV

Your friend/client has done a good job for an amateur film-maker; about the sort of standard we'd be looking for from our first years maybe; so I'm not knocking this in that respect...

But this really IS (assuming they've a legitimate point to make) the sort of thing the people behind the project should be having done properly. Quite why anyone (outside those who have a financial interest in it) should be pro this project is completely beyond me...

It remains as far as I can see of no practical use; it's just some bigwig's toy train set. It's clearly NOT comparable with the system that was torn out, and I think people will, quite frankly, feel it's an insult to their intelligence to make the comparison... As for the ripping apart of established landmarks....

Sorry; watching this just made me angrier than ever.... Between this and the Bin strike this year's ALREADY a PR disaster for Edinburgh as far as the tourists are concerned. I was in the City this morning dong a recce for something we're probably NOT going to shoot because of the state the place is in. And found myself listening to a VERY animated rant by a very angry American tourist who was disgusted by his experience of Edinburgh...
