My short career in the cinema industry. The ABC Wakefield was finally demolished in 2023, it had nearly been closed as long as it was open

This video was made by Digifish for Leeds City Council celebrating the history of Leeds Cinemas Both myself and Mike Faria who passed away in 2014, were asked for video of the ABC Leeds. I had video from Mike which I sent along with my footage, he is seen rewinding part 6 of The Great Waltz in 70mm and making a splice. Leeds Corporation took ownership of the Hyde Park cinema, which is mentioned...

This video was done for my son, who has sailed with us before, his girlfriend hadn't. It turned out her whole family went. I did this video to explain to his girlfriends family what to expect.

This is the best rendition in my view, I have used clips from the film "Brassed Off" to accompany the piece.

The cruises for 2019/20 were cancelled due to the pandemic. This was a fly cruise, which we have never done before. It was really well organised by P&O. Went very well no real problems.
P&O Oriana final cruise for P&O
Переглядів 75 місяців тому
This trip aboard Oriana, was her final voyage, having been sold. It was a great ship, albeit small by today's standards. The ships now are getting too big in my view, half of the ports they won't be able to get in. Small is a lot better, both in passenger comfort, maintenance and port access.

I worked at this theatre in the early 70's, it was terrible when it closed. It was accompanied by quite a few other ABC's at the time, most of which had closed by 2008
P&O Cruise on the Adonia that wasn't 2018

This cruise was supposed to be on Adonia, but P&O sold it before we boarded. We had to go on Ventura which we had been on before. Still a good cruise, enjoy.
P&O Arcadia Cruise 2017

This cruise to Norway was really good, the mountains, fjords quite impressive. Flam is really nice, well worth a visit. Iceland again was an eyeopener it could be an alien world in some respects. Using under ground thermal energy to generate electricity, then using the same water as it cools down to heat the homes in the town.

Having been a projectionist and a Chief projectionist at ABC Wakefield, until 1987, when I realised the writing was on the wall. I had been in the industry for 20 years, I did this video in 2014. After digital projection came in, it was the end of projectionists as such. I tried to convey the loss of our expertise, we didn't just project it, we did things as well, like turning up the volume in ...

This was my first go at video editing, I know it is a bit long. I have since improved my skills somewhat.

My second stab at video editing, which was a bit better, still getting used to it though. It is harder than you think. I now have a great respect for film editors of major movies. I am editing probably about an hour of content, whereas a movie could be over 4 hours or more, that has to be cut down to about 90 minutes.

London Kings Cross to York (Drivers View)
Why do trains want to make everything to go in and out of London short and quickly. Be nice if trains could go from Yorkshire to Cornwall in 2 hours.
You and me too
You ask about other names. How about a video on Strawberry Hill please?
Once the 125 board was passed you definitely noticed the difference in speed by the time we got to stevanage
When you see a first capital connect 365, you know this vid is from the good old days, when everyone no matter how old you are now was significantly younger lol and before covid came and changed the mood in life!
Good old days a 365? 😂
First English drivers view video I watched. It is shown as 1080 (HD) quality, but appears to be of lesser resolution. Not up to todays contributions, but then it's from a time when video cameras were still in use. 🤐
57.29 is Essendine, not the B1176 Careby.
You are right, I checked the edit, I got the first bridge just before, which in fact was farm access, I have re-done it to reflect your observation. it has been re-uploaded, but as not listed, otherwise the views would be lost, here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/KNAs38pNFak/v-deo.html
1:17:28 - Color me surprised that a level junction was left to stand. Subtitles for Junctions / Divergences would have been a nice touch. I Still call this a brilliant video.
What do you leave out or put in, if you put too much in, it ends up with endless text on the screen, not to mention the time doing it, I am pleased you like it tho'
2hrs? Where my speed button. 2x selected. That's better, whoosh
Well that is all well and good, but real time is what most rail people like. LNER did a couple of videos speeded up and silent, they were not well received. They might be still on YT
just about to say this is an old video. i was part of the team which remodelled the track at kings cross.
That must have been an experience, I noticed they opened the other tunnel, which had been closed for some time.
@@ICB72 yes they did. it memory serves its slabtracked with a crossover inside it. looks beautiful. but yes was a good experience. small team, brought together for a common goal.
@@user-yt9st4li5u Well you did a great job, it really smoothed out a few problems.
What's with calling them 'overbridges'? They're just bridges!!! Enjoyable journey though.
Just opposite to an underbridge
Great video, but as a driver of train one could get nuts by the noiselevel. Even while standing still it hears like AC is working 100 %.
Yes, it is noisy, but I suppose you get used to it, like working in a mill or engineering works
This is the same video from 7 years ago by AWL 57
Yes, it is
Was this a 91?
I think so, he didn't date the video, but it was after electrification of the line.
@@ICB72 Wasn’t sure if it could’ve been 373, but I think they were well out of the equation by the time NXEC came along.
Sorry you meant the loco, I think it could have been a 91
@@ICB72definitely not 1991 😂
@@ace-paidinfull5240 Maybe in the late eighties, after electrification
The amount of footpath crossings on the southern part of the LNE is shocking, especially having to cross 4 lines at that linespeed, the decision point must be absolutely mad
the video is pretty old now and some have been removed i believe.
All need to go, as do all the level crossings. Don’t think many other countries like running high speed trains over crossings.
@@Flange-lw9sp Well, I have just been on a train from Kiel to Hamburg for 40 euros for 3 of us, they had quite a few level crossings on route.
Nice to see my football club in the video 🔥 the Arsenal
A suitably grim location.
😂😂😂😂 I bet you are a spurs fan 😂😂😂
@@Afc1987 Arsenal is grim to be fair.
🔴⚪️
Hard to believe this video is now 10 years old.
Fabulous Ian. A nice blend of images from the ship, and some of the places you visited. We are happy to declare ourselves fans of "The Egg & Bacon company". And sure that you wont be 'panned' by the critics 😏
