April 19th 2009 LONDON CALLING ! Sightseeing run

(1/14) > >>

Karl:
 Remember Blablublablablububs suggestion about photographing C5's in front of landmark buildings ?

This meeting should help provide some scenic photo opportunities  ;)

Starting at Clapham Common (Windmill Drive) we will use the bike paths to take us through the common, then use the local roads to Chelsea Bridge. We can stop by the bridge for a tea break before heading up to Sloane Square, and the posh retail area of Sloane Street etc. We can also include the famous Harrods, Victoria & Albert Museum, National History Museum, Science Museum and Royal Albert Hall in our sightseeing tour.

The idea is to finish the run at the Royal Albert Hall to change batteries etc, then go for a look around Hyde Park.

More details to follow nearer the time, but this should be a really good run - nice and flat apart from a big downhill bit at the beginning.

(Re :  our phone last week about filming London calling 19th april 2009)
Hi Karl
I would just like to confirm with you that we would like to film a few parts of your journey in London with the c5 club. We will be filming our 4 c5s round London for the whole weekend and possibly the weekend after if we don’t capture enough of the right shots.

We are aiming to make a small video about Sir Clive and his Sinclair c5 story but in the way as if it was a huge success, showing how green it was, how original it was and how it would have looked if c5s were around everywhere in London.

We plan to use computer graphics and effects to clone c5s in as if they were everywhere but need real ones for the main shots. We are making a computer model of the c5 at this stage. It would be so much better and effective if we could capture a group real c5s in one go as an added bonus.

We will be doing Piccadilly and it is a great shame that it isn’t in your route but we can get round that with our 4 Sinclair c5s and our team.
Looking at your route it would be good if we could capture some shots these 3 places.

1.   Chelsea bridge with Battersea power station in the back ground
2.   Harrods
3.    Buckingham palace/Hyde park.


If any of members of the c5 convoy aren’t sure about doing this it wouldn’t be a problem and could even look good if we film some C5s that were parked up.

If  fellow club members are interested please let me know and pass on any comments or suggestions as we would be very grateful

Many thanks

Sinclair mat

Karl:
I'll be checking the route and publishing some more details soon, but I am sure those taking part will be quite happy being filmed enjoying themselves  :o :P
