The new year is with us and January is half over already and not a squeak from me. Well, I've been busy with editing and making music for the WHR Postcard MK2.
I've been working on the Fred DVD which is coming along nicely and is nearly done. Fred has been very helpful in finding pictures to illustrate his story mostly they have been prints which I've scanned but he has also found some nice 35mm slides which I need to get digitised. Also pending for this project is a quick trip up the FR to get some shots of various places mentioned which we didn't get in September. I should get this done in February half term when the railway will be back in one piece and the P Way guys will have a minute to help me.
In addition to 'Fred - the movie' I've been putting together a DVD postcard for the marketing dept which they will give away when Princess goes to Paddington in March. It will have three main chapters being an advert for Snowdonia and 5 minute packages of the FR and the WHR. These are pretty much finished having used some of the music I did for the Year in Snowdonia DVD.
The music for the new WHR postcard is coming along and I've re cut the video to hit the various changes in the music. I've just got a new drum module from eBay which has nicer sounds on than the Akai machine I've been using previously. It's always nice to have a new toy to play with and often inspires new ideas.
The other new toy which I haven't actually got yet is a new disk printer as the old one is pretty worn out. The new one can do 100 disks in a batch rather than doing them one at a time as I have to do now. It should be better quality printing and save me time when in 'factory' mode.
The camera hasn't been entirely idle either. I've been amassing footage of the rebuilding of harbour station and should have a progress report to show you sometime next week. The new points are being delivered tomorrow which should be interesting.
