Filming Exploits on the Mid Hants Railway – Will Stratford
From 'History' to 'How it works', the Watercress Films Unit only formally came into existence a few years ago. Since creation, Will Stratford and his team have boosted the railway's publicity on YouTube with followers regularly tuning-in to find out more about the Watercress Line.
In this talk, Will takes us through the creation of the film unit, highlights some notable projects, and dives into the behind-the-scenes magic that goes into making an episode.

Will Stratford explains: "We decided to put our own twist on it by doing it from the inside. We started inside the tender, then worked forward to the firebox, inside a boiler, smokebox, and underneath around the motion. It was great fun!" )
All are welcome.
See you there!
Please see website (swrs.co.uk) for location and further information, including parking charges at the station car park.
Remember that The Manor is easy to reach by train or bus, and is but a short walk from the town centre car parks.
