The Professional's Bodie to "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor

If you enjoy old British spy shows, I’ve remade a music video for The Professionals, a show from the late 70s. It starred Gordon Jackson as the spymaster Crowley, and Lewis Collins as Bodie and Martin Shaw as Doyle, the spy partners. “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor focuses on Bodie, who had been previously a paratrooper and SAS soldier. Very fast-paced and much into shooting.

Always loved this show.

That’s a lot of action.

In order to upgrade the video, I had to move it from my old editing system, Avid, to the new one, Premiere. In the old one, I still had access to the names of the episodes from which I took the scenes. Moving it over, I would have lost all those names. Which would have meant searching thru episodes for where somewhere leans against a wall wearing a favorite outfit that appears in many, many episodes. So I wrote up a single line description of every edit before I started working. Upgrading videos is made harder by upgrading the audio. Since new audio rarely matches old audio sources, EVERY edit is off the note it went with. But it turns out that these two pages of notes made it relatively straightforward to correct that. So I'll probably use the technique in the future.
