It all started as a hobby. My father purchased his first video camcorder when he went on holiday to New Zealand. On his return, he looked for further uses and started to video parts of the Beltane. It slowly grew, as people asked for copies, and I became involved, splitting the workload. He now videos most games played by Peebles RFC 1sts.
Early results from transferring VHS-C to VHS was a slow and laborious process, but now that digital camcorders are the norm, and in the last year only DVD copies have been requested, the process has been streamlined, so that the first editted copies start coming off the production line the day after the festival ends.
New and better technology, will mean that we get better and better.
Proceeds are returned to the Beltane Committee as a donation.
