This video is PART III of a documentary series "Lincoln: From Ford's to Oak Ridge 2015" by William Castronuovo covering the funeral reenactments from Washington, D.C. to Springfield, Illinois during the months of April and May 2015.
-------------------
The Springfield recreation of President Lincoln's funeral in that city was the largest reenactment in the country of the many that were held during April and May 2015.
-------------------
HOW THE MOVIE WAS MADE: This video was recorded from the corner of 8th and Cook Streets in downtown Springfield, Illinois (where the procession turned west) using a GoPro Hero4 Black camera (video mode at 29.97fps) on a three camera rig attached to a MeFoto tripod. A polarizing filter lens was used. The audio was recorded in four-track stereo; one shotgun mic was used for distance audio. REGRET: One of the wind muff/dead cat covers was lost in transit causing the occasional wind noise being captured. Post production was done using GoPro Studio, Final Cut Pro, Audacity (audio correction) and iSkysoft iMedia Converter (deluxe).
