What's new

The speeded up film of York Walls is now edited and its looking pretty good. I shot over an hour of HD footage with the help of steadicam operator Andrew Sheard who normally works for Emmerdale and Coronation Street. If you haven’t come across a professional steadicam before they’re very heavy and normally only used for short scenes. We had to split the shoot over two days to give Andrew a chance to rest, but we still ended up shooting on the hottest day of the year so he did well to last the distance. I speeded up the hour of film so it lasts just over 2 minutes and it’s quite intense. I’ve been trying it out on the projector in the tower where it will be installed and found that it looks best on less sunny days when tower is darker inside and the contrast is highest. Still, even when its sunny it still makes quite an impression. The Bootham installation is currently in robustness testing and proving very popular. All we’re waiting for now is a date for the press opening so we can formally open it and finish the project.
