Brolly Periscope Edinburgh Festival Fringe Fancies 2010


This completes the last of our brolly related items that we are collectively entitling the Brolletian Trilogy.  We have not necessarily saved the best til last, but the subject matter is the highest reaching and most outstanding piece in terms of physical height and actual distance from which it can be perceived.  Brolly Periscope was used at this year’s Edinburgh Festival when the crowds filled the High Street.  Next year I might take to jauntily fitting a pendant on my periscope to better identify me if the basic brolly idea has taken off and there is tsunami of Brolly Periscopes washing from shore to shore along Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.

In Brolly Periscope we show how the Lowepro The Pro Runner™ 450 AW DSLR backpack with its hideaway tripod mount can be used to create a visual reference point.  With a relatively tall brolly and an optional flag or tag you can stand out in the crowd and so not go unnoticed by your vital contacts.  With Brolly Periscope you can overcome that overlooked feeling and hear the tension leave the necks of bystanders as they crane skywards to view your Brolly Periscope in action. 

Just in case you begin to believe that possessing a Brolly Periscope enables you to safely submerse beneath the waves and travel in the watery midst’s of vast oceans do think on that you only have a periscope in place and that you need to be measured and fitted for a leak proof pressure hull and an effective propulsion system before venturing out into open waters.  For the High Street you can safely use Brolly Periscope to mark out your location without resource to costly scent trails and still have a little nautical fun whilst remaining a confirmed landlubber.  There is no marine tax, nor necessary observation of strict sea faring rules and regulations when using Brolly Periscope, but it does provide a prominent opening for daring tales of wave bourn action with any old salts you are washed up besides on the turbulent seas of urban crowds.

Yet again you may if you wish look out for an appearance from Tiger the Terror of Temple, but he is not in this film so the credits list him as, “Ginger Delight Tiger the unseen terror of Temple.”  It is never a mistake to have an eye at the ready for the Ginger Delight and even a hoary lookout for the Terror of Temple.   Sometimes just the idea of being told about the unpresent danger leaves a murky inkling on the mind that seems to tempt, taunt and tease leaving us excitedly un-at-ease.  That is how the victims of the Ginger Delight feel just before the wet/dry schnuffle snort reveals that they have been caught.

Please note that the sincere thanks of Wyrd Web Wonders go to Gustav Gustafson and to Helga Huffen-Puff.  Without her gracious release and his tireless involvement we could not have shot, loaded and broadcast these brolly related films which we are collectively entitling the Brolletian Trilogy.  No canvas over wire items were unduly stretched, nor inappropriately opened during the course of filming these productions.  Any vast millions of brilliant bright brand new shiny pennies made from the release of these free to view pictures will result in more brollies been released on to a high street near you.
