Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Lancashire (1926)

Claude Friese-Greene's 'The Open Road' is available to buy on DVD at filmstore.bfi.org.uk This extract comes from Claude Friese-Greene's 'The Open Road' - originally filmed in 1925/6 and now re-edited and digitally resto This extract comes from Claude Friese-Greene's 'The Open Road' - originally filmed in 1925/6 and now re-edited and digitally restored by the BFI National Archive. Britain seen in colour for the first time was heralded as a great technical advance for the cinema audience - now we can view a much improved image, but one which still stays true to the principles of the colour process. The rather haphazard journey from Land's End to John O'Groats creates a series of moving picture postcards. Look out for shots containing the component colours - red and blue-green - such as when a little girl in a red coat and hat walks among peacocks in the grounds of a castle, and three girls with red curly hair pose by the sea at Torquay. The car is a Vauxhall D-type - considered a sporty model at the time. A long-distance journey by car was a relatively new concept, with none of the amenities en route now taken for granted. The visit to a petrol station shows smoking on the forecourt: no health and safety issues back then! The travelogue ends with a series of recognisable London landmarks. Much remains the same - one major exception being the volume of traffic on the roads. (Jan Faull) For more information about 'The Open Road' see www.bfi.org.uk You can watch the whole of <b>...</b>

BLACKPOOL 2010

I didn't really plan on making a video this year, as I've been extremely busy as a film student and freelance DP the last year. However, as I couldn't resist grabbing a few shots on my Canon 7D (a stills camera that also has a decent video feature if you're a talented DP) while I was there. When I decided I would do a video, I also decided to keep it short and sweet, so there's none of that 10-minute-documentary-thingy I did the previous years. To see exactly what I made, you'll just have to watch it. As I didn't have a lot of footage, I used every last bit of good footage that was to be found on my CF cards when I got home. The video was edited this weekend, and the music selection derived from the flight to the UK. I was listening to MA's newest album, Heligoland, and I figured "I want to make a video to this song some day", and I was sold. Ah well. Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts. Please, do enjoy yourself. Comments are appreciated as always. Full credits in the video.

Good Things Happen (Blackpool Flash Mob 2011 - Official Video)

On September 18th 2011 at 11.30am, at The Hounds Hill shopping centre in Blackpool, this happened. Created and managed by Laura Catlow Choreographed by Lian Wray Sound provided by Gaz Jenkins Filmed by Sumo Crucial Productions Music Produced by Rob Pook Rehearsal space provided by The Dance Place This wasn't done for any reason, it wasn't a publicity stunt, it wasn't for an advertising campaign, it wasn't for any personal gain. We didn't make any money, and we didn't spend any money! We did it purely to make a few people smile. Everyone involved gave up their time and support completely free of charge, which makes this random act of fun all the more special. Huge thanks to all the people who took part, from professional dancers, to people who had never danced before in their lives, thank you to everyone who gave up their time to help make this happen, and thanks to the Hounds Hill shopping centre! I couldn't have done it without every single one of you. Good Things Happen ©
