Train window footage for a care home project.

[Fenton 77]

Hello wonderful people

Please excuse me from the right forum, but we are searching for somebody To film footage for an aged care train simulator.

We are happy to cover all costs, including train ticket transportation to and from the train station, et cetera.

I think it would be best if the photographer has an SLR Digital video camera. We are looking for a 30-minute Beautiful train journey around the UK.

Please see this U-tube video will explain what we looking for

The residents really love Train journeys would just like to add a few more to our catalogue.

Thank you so much for your time

Have you thought of contacting a few of the heritage railways around the UK to see if they had a suitable film off the shelf you could purchase?

For example:

Swanage Railway for footage between Corfe Castle and Swanage martin.trott@swanagerailway.co.uk

South Devon Railway or the Paignton and Dartmouth for south devon footage. trains@southdevonrailway.co.uk https://www.dartmouthrailriver.co.uk/contact

North Yorkshire Moors Railway https://www.nymr.co.uk/Pages/FAQs/Category/frequently-asked-questions

What an excellent idea.

I'm no camera man, but I hope you get someone to do the Settle & Carlisle.

It is a really good idea isn’t it? It’d be a nice thing if anyone on here could help with this.

It’s probably not quite what you are wanting (your video explainer has vanished) and possibly not quite the quality you’re wanting but I did take this on the Settle Carlisle line a couple of years ago but only on an iPhone. I doubt I’d be able to repeat the feat under the current health and safety concerns (somewhat understandably).

I’ve done a few better ones with a better iphone on preserved or foreign lines, some of which may be of utility due to the steam engine sound track:

I am happy to have a go at filming something specific for you if you would like, and if no-one with proper equipment can be of any assistance on here, but hopefully one of the more professional types on here can help you.

We really appreciate your support on this platform and to see the joy on the faces of our elderly residents is beautiful. They start talking about train journeys are used to go on and their votes so much joy and conversation

Thank you so much for uploading these videos they'reamazing. We tend to slow them down because, on the screen, it looks like it's going too fast and can give disorientation, et cetera. But the quality is okay. It does get a bit grainy when we blow it up, but we are so grateful for everything you guys have done for us.
