LOROS - Stomp Round Leicester

 

Several months in the making this film takes a look at a selection of the heard of Elephants that appeared across Leicester this summer to draw attention to and raise vital funds for the work of Leicesters @LorosHospice. The herd of 40 giant Elephants and 82 Baby Elephants stampeded around Leicester from 14th July. challenging visitors to Discover them all before 21st September when they will be returned to the hospice to be auctioned to those wishing for something a bit more unique for their garden than the average Gnome !. Stomp Round Leicester sees LOROS Hospice and Wild in Art join together to create the BIGGEST art trail the city has ever seen to raise vital funds for the hospice as it celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2025. Whilst I did visit EVERY Elephant on the trail this film contains a selection hoping to give a overview of the trail at a number of Leicesters recognisable locations around the city, from the newly opened Jewry Wall Museum to the Space Center and Leicester Museum on New Walk, to The King Power Stadium home of Leicester City FC and The Highcross Shopping Center.

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.
