A random walk more or less by the Berlin Wall (June-July 1989)

A slightly corrected and lengthened version of a video posted previously at: This is a somewhat tedious assemblage - the original footage is not good enough to edit well as it was a quick stab meant only as an initial exploration. It’s still interesting, if you’ve been there it may bring some memories. If you are into silly optical effects, grab a pair of sunglasses (any slightly darkened piece of glass will do) and hold just ONE of the filters in front of your RIGHT eye. Keep looking through BOTH eyes and fast forward to 18:39 and wait for the mirrors to appear. You should see it now exactly as I saw it back then. More on that effect here: It will work very well with any video scene showing a _lateral_ camera movement as long as it’s reasonably smooth (trains and river boats are best for that sort of thing). On another odd note: at 16:28 there is this odd face(?)-like painting. I could never figure out what that was. And I found out only yesterday (22 Feb. 2022) when I was watching part 1 of a German 1986 documentary on the 25th year of the Wall. Watch: and fast-forward to 2:07. Cool, no? So this means the half-life of a graffito there was about 3 years (depending on the location, of course; this one got moderate steady traffic).
