KATHY BURKE, LEE EVANS, AND RAMSEY SWING BRIDGE?

So what do Kathy Burke, Lee Evans and Ramsey Swing Bridge have in common? A film call called the Martins. The film, The Martins was filmed on location in England and the Isle of Man. For once the Isle of Man isn't doubling as a different location, and is central to the plot. The bridge itself is can be seen quite cleary in a key scene behind the two main actors arguing on the harbour.

The Isle of Man has become something of a must for film makers. Many a Hollywood star and Britains finest, are to be found here filmimg anything from, "Keeping Mom" to "Waking Ned." Locals often appear as extras, and the stunning location certainly takes centre stage. Where else would you get Alec Baldwin to be"Mr Conductor" in "Thomas and The Magic Railroad?"You have to see it to believe it.

For a full list of Isle of Man films the Film Boards Link Is already on the right and link today is to IMDB where you can check out Isle of man film links you never knew exsisted.

LUMINOUS PEBBLES IN THE ISLE OF MAN?

Hi all. As you will have noticed the blog has been quiet for a few days. All I have to say in my defence is trip to Blackpool and Fleetwood seemed like a good idea at the time and there are no pcs in pubs.

Todays pic. is basically pebbles on a beach which have been photoshopped to give the luminous glow, almost radioactive feel to them. An exmaple at it's simplest of what can be achieved with slight manipulation. Whenever I sell an image that I have manipulated I always state this clearly in the image blurb, therefore not misleading the customer.

The Isle of Man is enjoying it's best weather so far this year, which is good for all those outdoor events. It's also good for the film industry. If you look closely, just outside Ramsey you may see a film crew in a field.Look closer you may even see a wallaby

Todays link is the official film industry page, where you can check on current and old I.O.M films and forthcomming events.
