Jonty Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Yea, really good for the Island. Effing and blinding before the watershed. Practically every shot wreathed in rain and mist, and most of them in a torrential downpour. The only building seen was a derelict ruin - A few sheep shots, mist and barren hills And a few cheap shots The weather was not their fault, but that is the image beamed to about 5 millions homes Be objective - that was not good.

Mission Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 There's always one! *sigh* Perhaps you should watch it again without your blinkers on and you might actually see something different, I know I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_kitty Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I thought it was filmed really well and some of the scenery shots were great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 The only building seen was a derelict ruin - Is the airport not a building? Sure I saw that. Completley besides the point though - get a grip Jonty it's a motoring program, not a holiday show. They were not testing the IOM but cars. Perhaps you could list your ideas of how you would have directed the shoot. Perhaps we could have had the cars parked outside the Laxey Wheel, maybe even have filmed them in a 1/4 mile sprint with a tram. I await your plethora of ideas with baited breath.

Survivor Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 i'm surprised Liberalis hasn't been on saying "yeah, but did you see the filters they used in the filming" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Yep, great show, some of the shots of the Island were fantastic, amazed they could drive that fast in the mist though! The Hamster ringing the transport minister to get the road closed and the sign changing instantly was good Suppose I can see what you mean Jonty, but you can hardly blame the programme for the Manx weather and they had to film that day as they'd booked the roads closure.
