GCR Heritage Bus Running Day

I visited the Great Central Railways Quorn and Woodhouse station where numerous vintage buses from across the decades and county had met for a Bus rally and heritage running day. Once a regular sight on the roads of #Leicester and also in the wider country many viewers will remember catching a "Midland Red" or a "Fox Cub" into Leicester City center and the destination board at the start of my film features many familiar stops. Also featured in this film are buses and coaches used by many for trips to the seaside in skegness or maybe to Wembley Stadium for a Leicester City Cup Final this event and the vehicles featured are sure to bring back fond memories for many. Look out for a bonus appearance by the GCR Rail car which could be described as a sort of "Bus on rails". Fun fact I found my old School Bus at the event !.

Slow Motion Extreme BMX Skills At King Power Stadium - Leicester

Captured in Slow Motion on an iphone SE, a Leicester based BMX skills display team perform various acrobatic arial tricks for gathered fans on ramps outside the King Power Stadium, home of Leicester City Football Club ahead of a Premier League fixture against Southampton on the day of filming.

Vestibular Balance Conditions Poster for Rupal Rajani

A design for Rupal Rajani who asked me to create a eye catching poster for display at the Choice Unlimited event she was attending at the Leicester Tigers stadium. The event sees various service providers, charities and individuals coming together to offer a dialog between disabled people, carers and older people and Rupal was in attendance to gauge interest in a Leicester based support group for those with balance conditions. My design takes its cues from the human eye and vision which often plays a big part in the diagnosis and treatment of many Vestibular balance conditions.    

A Visit To Statfold Barn Railway

I took a visit to the privately owned Statfold Barn Railway a narrow gauge railway of 2 ft (610 mm) gauge near Tamworth, Staffordshire, England. For the 2017 season, a narrow gauge tram track was laid in concrete parallel to the level section of the Field Railway incorporating an 18 in (457 mm) mixed gauge rail line. Although the railway is not open to the public a number of “Enthusiasts’ Days” are held each year and those interested can apply for an invitation to one of these events. My film starts (and Ends) at the shed and follows various engines as they travel along the railway, look out for "The Goose" which is part Train part Bus and the newly installed Tramway.
