A lovely film

Nice to see a little loco and train just plodding along and not belting round as so many live steamers seem to do!
 
Fantastic ! :thumbup:
 
Well, that is absolutely superb. Whilst you know it's not full size it still feels entirely "real". The camera work is top notch, no shake at all, no mucky pan shots, and wonderfull atmospheric use of the low level sun for lighting. Almost without doubt the best video of "small stuff" I've seen.

Magic! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

The weathering on the traction and stock is an example to us all! And such smooth running at slow speed...

GH
 
Nothing to match that.......Love the railway........and that steamy........:love::love:
 
That is a delight and all done without masses of buildings.
I could do that on my layout!!
What gauge is it?
 
Hi KeithT it's 32mm & thats what struck me about it , there is nothing but the Loco's stock track & railway. I love the way you almost expect to see buildings, or interperate shadows & Shapes as being infrastructure in the background. In Short its a railway in its enviroment.
I am aiming for a similar sort of feel except with a station, and to be planted prettier, but getting nowhere near.... yet
I have always liked this Gents modelling his industrial Lady Anne is awesome.
I was looking for planting idea's when I happend across it.
 
Superb, just superb. A beautifully shot vid.
It is a million miles away from my layout but there is a whole ambience that I would love to get just a part of. It reminds me a little of John's H&MGR (JRinTawa) in the whole feel of a line just passing through its own space. Lovely little loco and such control at a slow pace.
 
That is fantastic stuff! Great weathering too.

I think the reason for the excellent slow running though, is that the film is slowed down?

It could be Neil, but I'm not so sure as the steam seems to 'play' and waft at normal speed. Also sometimes the rolling stock jerks or rocks and it looks at normal speed

One of my "pet hates" is seeing small scale live steam loco's running at break-neck speeds! (Right up there with no driver in the cab and cab roofs left off after servicing :impatient: )
It only takes a little effort to get them running prototypically, so it's all down to the (1:1 scale) driver.

As for whether or not the film has been slowed down, it's difficult to tell - but even if it has, the result is a first rate movie! :)

If it has been slowed (stretched) then I would call it a legitimate photographic technique. The quality of the railway is one thing, but the cinamatography quite another. It took both to make that excellent film.

Stretching has been done for years with old silent movies. They were originally shot at 16 frames per second. Later to improve particulary the quality of sound, films were shot at 24 fps. To run the old film on the later projectors (@ 24 fps) the sudios re-printed the films with every fourth frame repeated, to in effect bring them nearer to 24 fps. It was never quite accurate but the results acceptable, and the reason for the 'funny walks' we see in those films. We tend to forget about these things with all this digital stuff.

Class dismiss! :rolf:
 
Neil I have my doubts about slowing the frame rate because the sound is 'right'.
There are some edits to remove "the hand of God" uncoupling the stock which are just identifiable.
It has the crispest exhaust, presumably without a chuff pipe.
