Share

20th April 2012 Scarberia Trailer – Trip to the Sea

Share

Today i took a little road trip to the seaside, well Bognor Regis and then West Wittering to be precise. I had the pleasure of being accompanied by Charlotte Bennett, Claire Timmins and Richard Corgan. The reason – to film a few short clips for a new trailer. After arriving in Bognor and a short stop for Fish and chips (a compulsory seaside must) and discovering the beach was shingle we made our way along the cost to West Wittering. I imagine on a sunny day then it would be even more beautiful than it was.

Claire and Rich both had a little dip in the sea. Only one was a necessity …

It was a great day with great people and ultimately got some great footage. Its amazing what a day out the city and a bit of sea air can do for you. Here are a few pics for you to enjoy.
