Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board "Whitney Newsreel"

Last summer we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our 1st Whitney summit, and last weekend we had a "Family Film Festival", where we were all able to watch the various videos we created for this special event.

My nephew, Wesley, posted his on YouTube - it's only two minutes long, and very much in the style of the old "newsreels" we used to see in the theater before the feature movie. He did a great job with his "voice over" in the style of Lowell Thomas and the black and white effects look really authentic.

It's probably one of the most clever Whitney videos I've seen, here's the link:

Very clever... really enjoyed it, Rosie.

Your nephew, Wesley, did a great job on the newsreel. Very entertaining.

Clever indeed! Convincingly "old".

That was fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing!!

That was fun!

Having seen soooo many Whitney videos I'd have to say this one is probably one of the most entertaining I've seen. Very cool job and props to your nephew!
