Westhill Commemorative DVD
Westhill and District Residents Association, in conjunction with
PHOTOStoDVD, are hoping to produce a commemorative DVD showing how
Westhill and the surrounding District has changed over the last 40 or so
years. Photographs (and maps) from those years will be compared with
recent pictures and converted into a video photomontage, showing how the
area has evolved. Perhaps interviews with some of our elder residents
could also be incorporated in the DVD. Video or camcorder footage could
also be used.
However in order to do this we need your photographs – lots of them, regardless of the quality.
- Did you take a photo of your new house and street when you moved here?
- Do you have any early pictures of the shopping centre, the Gala, Ashdale Hall, the swimming pool or the fields where there is now a housing estate?
- Do you have any contacts with the Ashdale Land and Property Company who were responsible for a lot of the early construction?
- In fact, anything which shows how Westhill has developed and grown? The older the photo the better.
To get an idea of what the DVD will look like please view the Demo Version created with some recent photos of Westhill.
Why don’t you have a search through your photo albums and see what you can find. All pictures will be scanned and returned promptly and your contribution will be acknowledged on the DVD.
This project is dependent on the cooperation of Westhill and District residents, past and present. In order to cut the production costs, would any local firms be willing to sponsor the DVD or have an advertising photomontage of their own added to the DVD?
Hopefully this will provide a lasting historical record of our
wonderful town. If you can help, or know of someone who could
contribute, please contact Victor Robertson
If you any other useful suggestions or have experienced difficulty in
viewing the demos, please also contact me.
