Could you get the videos to play? Didn't work for me.
Sue
They did work for me. Try again to see if it will work because it's well worth the effort.

It kept stopping and starting for me so I gave it up as a bad job. Shirley
How odd - usually those things foul up for me and I didn't have any problems

There was a commercial first, but the video worked perfectly, and I watched it in full screen mode. What an amazing feat of technology.

I figured it out...it's a Netscape hangup. It worked fine in Internet Explorer.

I'm using SeaMonkey (a Mozilla browser like Netscape) and it worked fine.
But it certainly is an amazing project, and a beautiful tapestry.

I`d love to see it in real life - all the film I`ve seen made it looked horribly harsh and garish.
Pat
It probably -was- fairly garish, at least to our eyes, as tapestries like that were usually seen only by the light of torches and candles, and subtle colors would get lost. The harshness may be due to the interaction between colored light and the video equipment.

It was on TV the other night (In a Time Team programme, I think) and looked a LOT better than when I first saw it. Probably something to do with the photography more than the tapestry.

When I was in France, I recall being at some Chateau that had a couple of Aubusson tapestries which had been protected for hundreds of years, and thus still had some original color. They were startling in brilliance, and stunning.
