LOROS- Farewell Weekend

Groby Road, Leicester LE3 9QE, UK
 Following a summer in the city for the Stomp Round Leicester trail (see previous video https://youtu.be/6y_U-KduAzk?si=iHLyxxtkJVXzhVsv) the heard stomped home to the  @LOROSHospice  and gathered together for a farewell weekend, giving visitors a chance to see the spectacular sight of all the Elephants from baby to full sized together in one location. The  @wildinart  trail has been enthralling Leicester residents and those who came to  @visitleicester during the summer months. We start inside the Hospice and the smaller elephants created by local schools etc and a surprise cameo appearance from the  @501stUKGarrison  !. Heading outside we find the colourful larger Elephants as seen around the city with King Richard III represented and both  @LCFC  and  @leicestertigers  too. The  @StarWars  Stormtroopers are posing for photos with visitors alongside the artists behind the designs and there`s fun mixed with a hint of sadness as we say farewell to them. As we walk around the gathered heard we realise how many there are and when auctioned how much they potential could raise in much needed funds for  @LOROSHospice  and their important work. Goodbye Elephants as you go to your new homes like you we wont forget the summer you spent having a Stomp Round Leicester.

Early Morning at Bradgate Park

This short film was shot by me during the early morning sunrise at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. The film features Bradgate park which was the birthplace and early home of Lady Jane Grey - 9 days Queen of England. 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.
