No, I have never been involved in putting together a video, nor am I ever
likely to be. I want to stress this. this was not a case of editing
together 2 different camera angles of the same room. It was a case of
editing the tape of Dawkins in England with a tape of a narrator videoed in
Australia. That is an entirely different state of affairs than what you
describe. The only thing tha mollified me a bit was that the audio of
Gillian asking Dawkin's the question were exactly repeated by the Narrator
in Australia.
One curious thing when first began talking to Gillian, I don't recall her
mentioning a second camera. Her reply to the skeptic article mentions a
second camera. That was a surprise to me, because she said something about
it showing the unedited interview with the question and the time period
after Dawkins asked that the tape be turned off. I would of course
encourage Gillian to produce that video since it would support her case.
But it appears that everyone's memory improves with age.

And that is what happened in the Frog video. The narrator and Dawkins

You have not followed what I have been saying. The question was on the
audio tape and supposedly Gillian's voice was on the original unedited video.
