A promo video I made of the 2011 Bo’ness Hill climb revival. 

Hill climbs were held at Bo’ness between 1932 and 1966, during which time they played host to drivers such as 3 time Formula one world champion Jim Clark and Stirling Moss, a man who many say was the greatest driver never the win the World Championship. 

The first revival meeting was held in 2008 and runs annually using the majority of the original course. 

Music by Conquering Animal Sound

We spent a day at The Garage in Glasgow filming Aerials Up. We then trusted the footage to Mr Chris Grant, the drummer in the band, to edit. Thankfully he did a grand job.

Using footage filmed over the last few years by Detour. 

Video for the very first sofar (songs from a room) in Glasgow. brilliant night, great music and lovely people.

Myself and the other camera op Nial got stuck in a lift on the way out the flat. It was only about 5 minutes before firemen dragged us out. Odd experience. 

Ben Cowie and Alan Cameron came up with the video idea and directed the shoot with help from Otherpeople. 

Alan Cameron designed and painted the backgrounds with help from Martin Miller, Ben Cowie, Rachael Rebus and Lewis Jack. 

Euan Robertson set up the lights, helped with logistics and photographed the shoot. 

David Weaver made sure all the shots were timed correctly by counting down while looking at a stopwatch going up on his IPhone. 

Ben Cowie operated the camera. 

Alan Cameron is the man screwing with otherpeople.

Thanks to Barbara and Mike Cowie for the lift and Nial Walker for the tripod.
