Luxmuralis returned to  @LeicesterCathedral  with their show The Elements following the success of SPACE Luxmuralis gave visitors the chance to witness fiery volcanoes, be immersed in the oceans whilst remaining dry !, and take to the skies. Watch as the natural world evolves around you. be enveloped by each element and witness the transformation of Leicester Cathedral as we contemplate our planet and the environment in which we live. Starting outside the cathedral we enter through the new porch into the darkened cathedral where we are greeted and told about the instalation by the team. As we approach the first part we see birds flying around and the collums and arches of the cathedral illuminated in blues and reds. moving through the cathedral we reach King Richard III`s tomb which is lit a deep red and the wall in front of his grave features a lava themed projection representing a volcano erupting with related sound effects. In another side chapel we find ourselves ...

Leicestershire Cyclocross League Round 7, Mallory Park

Witness the battle of Cyclist vs Mud at the Leicestershire Cyclocross League meeting, round 7, hosted by Leicester Forest Cycling Club at Mallory Park race circuit in Leicestershire. In the midst of Storm Isha's arrival, this cyclocross race turned into a struggle against the elements. Cyclists faced not only the challenging terrain but also the relentless high winds, amplifying the difficulty of navigating the muddy course.

Snapshots - Leicestershire Wheat Field

Leigh984 Snapshots are short videos etc in which I look at a particular topic or visual idea, in this film I look at the movement of a wheat field in the breeze. I`ve always found the movement of wheat blowing in the wind to be quite amazing the whole field almost seems to move as one like a body of water. In this snapshot I look at this movement in a Leicestershire field beneath a blue sky. Also look out for a wind turbine and a splash of color from poppies dotted among the wheat.

Turbine 2.0

Turbine 2.0 is a follow up to my previous film Turbine and once again features the wind turbines at Low Spinney Wind farm. The Turbines are now fully operational and can be seen turning at their stately place silhouetted against the deep orange setting sun. Setting off around 5:30pm with the light slowly fading we where in a race against the clock to capture the wind turbines silhouetted against the setting sun. I rushed to set up my tripod and started to film, the blades of the turbines ceaselessly turning in the field alongside me. The sun, now a large orange disk hanging in the sky, started to illuminate the underside of the low level clouds and plane trails that criss crossed the sky above. The Turbines where bathed in an orange glow as they spun rooted to their base, facing the sunset and majestic in their stature. A few moments later and the large disk of the sun dipped below the horizon and I stopped filming, unlike the turbines who were all the time turning never slo...

Turbine - The Low Spinney Wind Farm

Turbine - The Low Spinney Wind Farm is a short film about the newly created wind farm situated between the villages of Ashby Magna, Gilmorton and Dunton Bassett, near Lutterworth in Leicestershire. The wind farm is expected to be fully operational by mid-summer. Filmed at sunset the silhouettes of the 125m high turbines look strange but also perfectly in tune with their natural surroundings. click below to see stills taken at the farm
