King Charles III Coronation Express, Abbey Pumping Station

Join us at the Abbey Pumping Station as it`s resident narrow gauge engine Leonard is called upon to pull a special service for the coronation of King Charles III. The little green engine, which runs around the perimeter of the pumping station site, was decked out in bunting and featured a specially created headboard proclaiming it to be the King Charles III Coronation Express. Filmed onboard and trackside we see Leonard make his way from the station and around the site with both the spectacular Abbey Pumping Station building (featured in previous films on this channel) and the modern space-age National Space Center rocket tower nearby visible to passengers. At the end of the line engine is decoupled and pulls the express back to its starting point bunting waving in the wind as it steam`s along. Look out for regular steam days at the museum on the Visit Leicester website.

The Wheel Of Light - Jubilee Square Leicester

Join me on a ride of Leicester`s spectacular Wheel Of Light. Situated in the heart of the Leicesters Old Town in Jubilee Square the Wheel Of Light affords riders a spectacular 8 to 10 minute ride, with views of the city`s high street,  Cathedral and more as they travel up to 110 feet in one of 24 covered gondolas, each seating 6 people. Look out for a spectacular sunset and the studios of BBC Radio Leicester also featured in this video.

Leicester Castle Classic 2015

Highlights from the 2015 Ride Leicester Castle Classic Pro-Cycle Race around the streets Of Leicester taking in Leicester Castle, the Mile Straight, Bede Park and Leicesters Old Town. My film joins the teams as they warm up on the De Monfort University Campus before heading to the start line where City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby starts the race. The film then follows the riders as they speed around the course and ends with presentations to the individual winners and teams. Images follow

Menphys Helicopter Ride Voucher

Design for a voucher to be given as a prize at the Menphys Valentines ball. My design takes its color scheme from the events posters etc and extends it using an 80`s action movie style typeface and the outline of a helicopter intersecting the border to give the dynamic of it flying out of the voucher toward the viewer.

Leicester Castle Classic 2014

The Leicester Castle Classic is an 80km race over in a 4.1km route that includes a section on cobbles in Leicester Castle the mile straight along Western Boulevard and Leicester City FC`s King Power stadium. As of 2014 the race is now part of National Elite Road Series and is the penultimate race of the season. My film starts at Race HQ as Team Raleigh and others prepare before joining the race as it enters the cobbled section in Leicester castle though the Turret Gateway and later along the mile straight where we see race winner Jon Mould cross the finish line and on the podium.
