The Town of Figure Eight - Shoot Day 1

After an hour and a half journey we arrived at Chinnor Steam Railway for a 9am start. There was a few different shots we needed to achieve throughout the day. The first was a shot from the back of the train going through the country side using a HD hero - excellent for shooting in tough locations where there is a risk of potential damage to the camera. The only draw back of the HD hero is the fact it can only shoot at 30 frames a second - not ideal for TV broadcasting (firmware update now available for 25 fps shooting). However this was fine for us as we intend to use the footage for back projection. After the first train run we knew were we where with that shot and had it under control. This meant I could now move my attention over to constructing the Filmable Pinhole Camera System ready for the shot scheduled for around 12ish.
