GETTING OXFORD PUT TO BED NEARLY ADVERT TIME THOUGH

I suppose it must be about 12 times a year that I exclaim, it's time to get the magazine adverts in, well here we go once more it's certainly upon us once more and I like to get to the end of any series before sending off the copy thus I'm going to get the short Oxford series of three finished and then tomorrow get the advert copy emailed off. There are lots of other things in the to do queue, the commercial work for a companies web site is the most important, I need to get three short films done , I had a quick session tonight getting some music sourced plus getting their logos saved on the editing deck plus I've got the srcrip printed so I'll know when it's going adfrift and intervention is needed in the cutting room department. The weather here has been pretty darn good today with temps around 24 and mainly sunny all day, very pleasany although its set to break Friday/Saturday, fingers crossed that it's settled by Sunday for Showbus at Duxford. We'll have the full DVD range with us, no photos planned and we'll be able then to cope better lifting with my back problem, this is now pretty well rtesolved and I don't want it upset again before we head off to Sri Lanka the end of next week. It's still relatively quiet at work although it does come in fits and starts sometimes.

I've managed to get the latest Manchester area film in the 'can' it needs editing but for your prior delight some still photos tonight as I saw my first trams in Rochdale and the new bus station in action. Its a bit of a dogs dinner not unlike the problem for photography at the old one, anything midday coming around towards the sharp bend furthest from the old bus station will be in splendid light if there is any. The old bus station has nearly all been demolished along with anything attached, the breakers were bashing away at what was left. The weather here was sunny on the whole, security did come out but was very friendly and happy as per GMPTE policy for enthusiasts to see whats going on. I saw 3 of the heritage buses during the quite short time there, got my first shots of the Manchester liveried version and I think that just leaves the Lancashire United that I'm missing.  I'll keep it short as I want to crack on with the editing, here is Rochdale Sept 2014.
