We dont even call things like that a "hill" in Scotland but that's probably what was behind the bump's construction in the first place. Some kinda ancient landscape of Scotland jealousy thing which happened down South. You kinda get that vibe and this fillum really brings it out bigstyle.
I think a few star wipes would have eased the clumsy transitions between the shots and more zooming in and out would have greatly improved the feel of the whole "video". The keechy, new-age, warbly mince music could be replaced by something a bit more groovy like say a top Gary Glitter track or even some Italian House from say 1990.

LOL! I love your ironic (Scottish) sense of humour HD. We don't really call Silbury a 'hill' down south either ... which is very much a misnomer. Most of us settle for 'unique prehistoric mound of world wide importance'. I have to say I agree with the "Grrr" observation but I'm not going to jump to judgement about the 'fillum' makers (son or mother) too quickly as know nothing about them. Someone needs to point out to them that whatever the circumstances (perhaps the boy is autistic) walking up Silbury to make a film is totally unacceptable.

Musing on the above this morning, I remembered when years ago being able to go up Silbury without having the guilt button thrown at you. and then all of the people that have been up over the past centuries. This 'sacred' veil has been thrown over the mound without any regard for history, and I'm not sure why we are not allowed, except of course the numbers that would trek to the top because (and this is my theory) the highlighting of the 'sacred' nature of Avebury by TMA, and of course archaeologists. My other half (LS) said 'Namby-pamby, nature loving, mother goddess' worshippers, and yes if you aspire to such heights making a film about Silbury you should try and make a decent video....


ps if anyone attacks LS for his words they have me to contend with ;)
