I've been starting work on constructing the second version WHR DVD postcard as we've nearly sold all 5000 of the V1. This time the journey will be complete whereas previously we had only got as far as Hafod y Llyn.
I started from scratch, all that remains is the music track; I have made this a couple of minutes longer by chopping it up, and looping some sections into repeats. This has left it a bit long in places without variation so I will add some more synthesizer in a couple of places to jolly it along.
This version will use all footage shot on the new camera and so will be very high quality, technically, all I need now is some sunshine to finish shooting where I have gaps. A trip up and down the line on a sunny day in the open coach should get most of it and then a couple of days chasing trains. I will find someone to take me line side in a couple of places as there are some shots that you can't get from public places.
This monday was a busy day with the Olympic flame coming down the FR in the morning and then I accompanied a BBC documentary crew to Moelwyn tunnel where they were shooting interviews for a documentary which will be on BBC4 in the autumn. It is all about the deviation and promises to be very interesting. This is them about to enter tunnel south.
And just to prove I was there, here is the famous flame.
