Somewhat disappointingly, the earliest documented account of this comes from American Eric P. Nevertheless, the alarm had been raised and the archers of Krakow were able to repel the invader. A watchman stationed in the church tower saw them and sounded the alarm with his trumpet a well-aimed arrow from the invaders caught him in the throat, ending the call in mid-stanza.

Like all good legends, there is a multitude of answers and no definitive proof for any of them, but the one that resonates most strongly with the people of Krakow and is most enduring goes as follows: in the 13th century, when Poland was repeatedly invaded by the Mongol Empire, Tatar warriors were approaching the city of Krakow. What is the story behind the tradition and why does the haunting melody (the hejnal) stop so abruptly? People in the Main Square look up and wave at the bugler when he finishes, and the bugler in turn waves back.

This video shows a lot of potential, creativity, and energy.Every hour on the hour, a plangent trumpet call rings out four times from the taller of the twin towers of St Mary's Church. I did like the little touches, like the establishing shot of a castle using stock art, and the occasional sound effects like the splash at the end. Also, in the future have a partner whose entire job is to hold or position the camera too often the actor’s head was cut off or we couldn’t tell what was happening in the scene. I understand this is hard considering you only have about a minute and a half, so try making a list of everything important that happens in your story and cutting it down until you have just enough to fill up 90 seconds! Speeding up the movie only made the dialogue and narration squeaky and difficult to understand. I appreciate how much of the complicated story this movie tried to tell, but this movie attempted to pack in too much plot next time try to cut out any unnecessary scenes, dialogue, or elements that are not crucial to the story line. Judges’ Remarks: A very ambitious one-man show retelling of the story! I’m glad you did some costume changes to keep the characters distinct-that’s crucial when every character is played by the same actor-but there should have been even more costumes changes, because at a certain point I couldn’t tell characters apart.
