The films are a joint venture between UK Graves and Atlantic View Sound & Vision

Our first film is a tongue-in-cheek recreation of the 1930s film style - black and white/sepia, with plenty of hairs, dirt and scratches, just for fun. It's of Shaw Cemetery, Newbury, the day after a reasonably heavy overnight snowfall.

This page will communicate with Apple.com in order to download scripts and, if necessary, a Quick Time player. The movie is about 3 and a half minutes long.

Our second film is of the famous and well-known Brookwood Cemetery. If you've seen our still images gallery of Brookwood you'll know it's enormous. To provide a documentary-style approach to Brookwood would need half an hour of movie, and we don't have the luxury of being able to throw that much web server disk space at this project. So we've opted for making a film containing numerous short snappy clips, designed to convey a flavour of the beautiful woodland setting of this fine cemetery. The movie is junst under 5 minutes in length. If you're concentrating you'll notice that the early parts of the movie are steady, but later a degree of shakiness appears. This is because about a quarter of the way into my visit to Brookwood one of the rangers asked me to stop using a tripod and I therefore had to hand-hold a quite heavy camera, which isn't easy.

Our third film is of no specific graveyard or cemetery; it's edited together from various clips, and is entitled Scenes and Inscriptions, and portrays just that.
