Hi Folks,

The sun was shining this week so the Pine Tree Junction crew have been out in the garden again with their camera. Another video for those who are young at heart!

Rats!
Interweb too slow to be worth trying at the moment (again >:( )..
Will have to let this one 'simmer' for a bit until I get a better connection.
:(
 
That's another cracker of a video, great music with these too.

Watching it, I was still more struck by the detail you put in - just as Thomas is leaving shot at one point his eyes swivel towards the camera, and as Percy pulls up with his load his eyes swivel right and then left as if he is checking that this is the right place to stop. Wonderful!

Hi, Thanks for the great comment. We have fantastic fun making these little videos and have learnt to set up the shots so the eyes of the trains look in the right direction. We have a little camera trick to make sure things work out. To get them to stop in exactly the right place we set the trains up where we want them to stop and then film them going backwards. We then simply reverse the video in the edit - simple really. If you watch the video again you can probably work out where they were filmed backwards. Hope that doesn't spoil the magic! Keep watching!
 
If it does, they will have to watch the video backwards then!! ;) ;) ;)
At last, a fast-ish connection again, so I have had my 'fix'..

Thursday, I go to a Client at Black Lake, and wonder just where you are as I pass over the motorway up the hill to the church..

Hi, Thanks for the post and great that you have been able to see our latest little effort. Not sure where Black Lake is but we are in the West Midlands about 15 miles from Birmingham. Hope you keep watching!
