“Victory or Death”- Washington Crossing the Delaware

On December 25, 1776, George Washington lead a surprise attack on the British and Hessians in Trenton, New Jersey, turning the Revolutionary War back to the favor of the colonial Americans. I am the official videographer for Washington Crossing Historic Park, and I got to cross over for free. This is a montage of some of the footage I took during the day, and the official crossing will take place on Christmas- this footage is from the rehearsal. Please note: This is made with footage I compiled while making a documentary for them. In the documentary, catching glimpses of spectators, other photographers, etc, wasn’t a problem. I did my best with the footage I had, but you can spot a couple anachronisms in this (ie the Washington Bridge, Staff shirts…). Filmed and Edited by Tom Lynskey George Washington played by John Godzieba www.youtube.com Music- Final Cut Pro, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (less than 30 seconds used for a non-profit film- free-use)
