A Steam Train Ride from Keighley to Oxenhope

[fantastic7heaven]

I say do the video the way YOU want to do them. Be yourself and don't worry about how others want you to be (unless you are misbehaving or course) I love the fact that you don't talk that much and just let us enjoy the sounds. What fun you must have doing this, wish I could ride along!

The beauty of the KWVR is that, altough it's one of the oldest established lines and very much "premier league" in status, it still very much has the flavour of the smaller, "friendly" lines.

I always enjoy your videos. Yet again a great ride.

Great work...

Over the years I've been extremely lucky to visit this railway and marvel at all the beautiful scenery in the area.It's just something you have to experience, at least once, to fully appreciate it all. You do a lovely job of capturing that magic. The narration adds to it all wonderfully. I didn't realise how steep the climb is out of Keighley until now. 15 mins of pure beauty. Thank you so much. Lovely video.

An excellent video, as always, and similar to the one I have of the railway (but I filmed most at night as I went just after Christmas).

I always find that the narrator sounds bored all the time in this sort of video though! If you are enthusiastic and passionate then let that come through on the narration, it makes it much more interesting for those who are not familiar with the footage.

@CrichConductor700 should I add a few whuppeee's, and wolf wistle's?

[CrichConductor700]

@pennysteam Hahaha! Maybe not go that far; we should all leave the whistling to the locos. It's just the inflection in the voice, but it's probably really hard to do when you're in front of a computer (or wherever you record the narration) and you don't have it there in front of you or a direct audience. I find it hard enough on Crich's trams to do a presentation/talk on the tram, but the inflection comes easier with the audience in front of me as you can see the response.

Great content though

[pennysteam]

@CrichConductor700 Hmm, soft of see your point, I think most narrations on films I have heard tend to go for the documentry style, but then again as you say there is no direct ordiance unlike yourself. Usualy can take several takes as well, as I keep wondering of the planned script, well sort of planned. The walkies bit's at the end was unscripted but fitted in nice.

[CrichConductor700]

@pennysteam Next time I go I may have to take my dog along that walk, which I didn't know was there until watching this! This has also given me ideas for videos for my channel, and maybe attempt some narration myself...

[pennysteam]

@CrichConductor700 If you check this film I made a few weeks ago now you will see more of the walk.

That was a nice video the narrating really makes it too, how do you get the camera to hang so far from the train?

Ha i bet Penny loves the walk back I know my Toby would, just say the word walk and his ears go up.

Nice video.

[pennysteam]

@ShaurntheSheep screen flips over and around and then hold my arm out of the window, you have to know the track well to avoid loosing the camcorder.

i thought they didn't run trains in the week.

[pennysteam]

@TrainMadJames Good friday, so it was a bank holoday, also during school holidays and peak periods they run steam all week.
