Time travelling

I've been working on finishing the 'Fred' DVD but circumstances have conspired for that not to happen just yet. Firstly the PC I use to edit on is rather long in the tooth and I have also run out of storage for new video footage. I'm not an expert on the technicalities of computers but I know that I have three external drives of 1 terra byte each and they are now full tot he brim. All is not lost as the new all singing and dancing mega PC is on order and should be with me in the next week or so. It should allow me to work faster and easier... famous last words.

Secondly, I was supposed to go out and shoot some last shots of things Fred mentions to add into the film but the weather was awful, there was no loco available and my driver went sick... I went home and lit a fire to sulk beside.

Anyhow, that was yesterday. Today I took the camera for a ride on the FR and experimented with the time lapse facility. You can see the results of this here:





It shot half a second every 30 seconds. I'll try another trip on another day with a different rate, it makes for a very quick but slightly odd video.
