We are glad to announce that two of the three 'new' archive features are now released and on the shop, none of the material on the nostalgia programme has ever been seen in public before and the same applies to 80% of the London material. The third in this weeks release schedule has the images complete, I need to do an intro and some narration and add a sound track. This covers the replacement of the original tube trains on the Isle of Wight and their replacements arriving. It fits in well with recent developments which will see another batch of rebuilt cars from London replacing the 1938 stock. Another first today was the uploading to our Youtube channel of two clips from our video in Glasgow taken in 1992 when I was working at Grangemouth refinery. The Topaz software takes forever to work its magic but the results are quite stunning giving 50fps and sharp wide-screen format they really feel as if they were taken on a digital camera rather than video 8 the first of the smaller tape media to an large extent replacing VHS for film work. Please do have a look at them. As my next challenge I'm going to see what it can make of some 1986 video, that will take some doing. The weather has been awful the worst day of the week so far, tropical rain fell mid afternoon but thankfully no flooding. The next film outing will be to Wythall for the Midland Red running day.
