FYI, as Lisa said, Leon and Lisa are no longer living in Bristol so it is doubtful that they will ever be able to continue with that series again, because now they live extremely busy lives travelling all over the country with their MostWet night club events. You have a point about the difficulty of shooting video in low light conditions. When Leon's "At the Fountains" series was made back in 2002 and 2003. In those days Leon did not have the HD digital cameras that he uses today, and had to use old style analog Hi-8 camcorders, which tended to produce rather dark and grainy looking videos where it was hard to see the wetlook imagery very clearly.

However, since 2002, not only have camcorders improved a lot, now we are able to do things that we could not easily do back in 2002....i.e. using digital video editing tools to brighten, sharpen, and enhance old videos.....and so with Leon's blessing earlier this year I started to project to re-master his old "At the Fountains" series and to use digital softwares to brighten all these dark scenes and use color correction tools to sharpen them and to eliminate the "grain" in these old videos, so I have now started to digitally re-master this classic series and brighten the scenes by 30% and to elminate the grain, and to make fresh new 1hr online download files of this series so this series can now be enjoyed in a 30% brighter and clearer version than has been seen in the past.

So far I have complete the restoration of 4 x 1hr files of this series and I uploaded them here.....see records

I have about 30 more hours of this series that I still need to work on cleaning up, restoring and enhancing, and I will upload those in future months this year.
