The one I'm thinking of was the opening titles of 'Sweeney 3' with a very slow panoramic view of London accompanied by library music, I remember that members of the lounge could opt to have their names on the credits! I'm sure it was Del who made it but it may have been someone else

There are a couple of Gene's videos that Tiger could be thinking of. The first is "Sweeney 3: Tober Is Back" from October 2010 and is in his post >>> HERE <<< but is a short car chase The other which has the drive through London down to Richmond to the opening soundtrack of Sweeney 2 (but is just titled as "Sweeney") is from April 2011 and is in his post >>> HERE <<<Is it one of yours Gene ? Maybe the one where Somkin left the lense cap on that time ? Lens cap? I don't know who Somkin is or what you're on about... Sam.

The second one was the one I was thinking of with camera work by yourself Sam (when the lense cap came off)

I remember the video Arthur is thinking of, but I don't think it was one of Del's, not sure who posted it though.

Once the lens cap finally came off after we'd left The Winning Post, trying to hold a camera steady in a moving car while at the mercy of Gene's right foot was quite difficult. The camera was one thing though, the bigger issue was when he'd floor it just as I was trying to take a swig of Coke trying to make me spill it down my shirt! Sam

I'm sure it was Del who made it but it may have been someone else I've just had another thought about this one you've mentioned Arthur. There was one member that put together a clip and you're correct that he re-edited it time and again adding members' names. His own login name escapes me for now but I do recall that he'd been in hospital and that he was making/editing the clip during his recuperation. Sam.

He would ask if anyone wanted their name adding to the 'opening credits', members would humour him & say 'go on then, add mine' & he'd edit it with new names added. You have a good memory, if it was the same person I remember him asking for film/tv recommendations as he was bed bound I think.

Again if I remember correctly, he was based in Hammersmith somewhere around by Shortlands or Latymer Court, and included a panorama across rooftops towards Olympia and Earls Court?
I don't think he was (rather I hope he wasn't) long-term bed-bound after his hospital stay but I do recall him doing a good job of the opening credits.
It is annoying that his name escapes me but I think his avatar was one of the mustard yellow scenes from the end credits of The Sweeney, possibly the close-up of the wristwatch.
