Cosby Yarnbomb 2024 - Behind The Scenes


Take a look behind the scenes of the 2024 Cosby Yarnbomb as the yarnbombers get the various displays together at various "stitch up days" before heading out into the village itself to place them, they wrap lamp posts, post boxes, buildings and more in bright colours covering anything that looks like it needs brightening up !.
The Yarnbomb is the culmination of work through the year by not for profit group Gather, Create, Grow who`s aim it is to help combat loneliness in the community and recovery and ultimately bring a bit of joy and magic into the community and peoples lives.
To see the end result of their hard work please watch my film looking at the completed yarnbomb linked at the end of the video.
The film begins at a "stitch up" event where the pieces take shape before heading out with the group as the completed works are placed ready to welcome visitors to the annual event, we see the merry go round horses being placed to create the perfect effect around a tree, plus meters of french flag bunting through the nook to bring the Olympic games theme to life.
Watch to the end to hear a specially created track "knit my love" which accompanies the credits.

The park is well known for its herds of red and fallow deer who roam freely amongst the spectacular scenery of this unspoilt part of Leicestershire.

BMX National Series at Huncote Hornets, Leicestershire

The 29th and 30th September 2018 saw the #BMX National Series come to #Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX track, The event (rescheduled due to weather issues in early spring) saw riders of all ages arrive in the Leicestershire town from across the country to do battle on the Hornets BMX track behind the Pavilion leisure center. My film aims to give a sense of the race atmosphere on day two of the event where a dramatically cloudy sky and lighting gave a cinematic feel to races on the track. Hold on tight this is a fast one !.

The Paris - Roubaix Bike Race - April 2013

My film features the professional (and dusty !) Paris - Roubaix Bike Race which took place in April 2013 and was filmed at various locations along the route in France. The Race takes place (as its name suggests) on a route between Paris and Roubaix in northern France and is famous for its rough terrain and cobblestones which often cause riders to fall and gives the race its nickname of 'The Hell of the North & 'A Sunday in Hell'. The event was first run in 1896 and as one of cycling's oldest races draws large crowds from many country's. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez.
