My Third Short film from my trip to Scotland features Steam Locomotive The Scotts Guardsman crossing the forth rail bridge. I have given the film a vintage feel and heightened the contrast to give it a movie like  quality and the accurately portray the grandeur and size of the bridge in relation to the powerful steam locomotive which is dwarfed by its metal structure. look out for the large boat passing under the bridge at the beginning and the unique pattern the steam forms in the sky as it passes through the bridges structure !.

  The RRS Discovery was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain. Launched in 1901 to carry Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their Discovery Expedition to the Antarctic, The ship is now the moored in her home port of Dundee alongside a visitor attraction detailing the work undertaken during the expedition. My Short (filmed during a particularly heavy rain shower!) highlights the various parts of the ship and its rigging, Particularly of note is the front bow section its ornate gold decoration, union jack flag motif and Discovery name proudly written in white upper-case letters across the bow.

Opened in 2002 The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift in Scotland that connects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. My short film features a boat entering the wheel at the bottom before being lifted up to the aqueduct section above. The short was filmed from two angles giving the viewer a view of both sides of the wheel and a look at the workings of this impressive structure.
