From "Bonkers Idea" to Cinematic Excellence: Manchester’s Urban Pulse from the Peak District’s Wild Heart
You know the feeling when an idea just grabs hold and won't let go? Ever since my last intense trip up to the Peak District and that gorgeous wild camp on Swine’s Back, one shot has been burning in my mind. On that trip, I caught a glimpse of Manchester City Centre, a distant urban sprawl against the vast, empty hills. I knew then that capturing a proper timelapse of that city from the Peak District, showing the wild quiet foreground against the chaotic, glittering urban beast, would be bonkers. A technical challenge, yes, but a truly unique and potent piece of footage.
Well, I’ve been back. This was a dedicated mission, hauling tens of thousands of pounds worth of gear up to Kinder Low. The aim? To finally deliver that shot. And let me tell you, it was a remarkable success. The footage is magnificent. It took patience, professional-grade equipment, and a healthy dose of bloody-mindedness.
I’m thrilled to announce three new packs that directly result from that demanding, rewarding trip. These collections expand my archive and offer an entirely new perspective, bridging the gap between wild British landscapes and its dynamic urban centres.
The Three New Pillars of Peak District & Manchester Footage
These packs are designed to complement each other, giving you every angle on this unique location:

It captures the hills in a full range of moods, making it a highly versatile resource. The pack features stunning scenes where low-hanging fog and mist lay over the Edale Valley, essentially submerging it in a beautiful, ethereal cloud inversion, while bright sunshine illuminates the peaks, Swine’s Back, and the surrounding countryside.
This pack has a perfect combination of moods, including dull, dreary, and eerie cloudy scenes that convey the rugged, wild nature of the hills. It also provides cinematic light with incredible sunrise and sunset colours, offering gorgeous morning countryside views with the sprawling form of Manchester City visible in the far distance. The footage includes chasing clouds over the hills, dynamic reveals, and sweeping establishing views that showcase the Peak District at its magnificent best.

Includes shots of me walking, resting, and eating beside an old church in Edale.
Wet Wild Camping: The reality of setting up a tent in the pouring rain, a thoroughly wet tent, and the general dismal (but authentic!) experience of camping when the heavens have opened all evening and night.

By combining the panoramic, high-contrast beauty of the Kinder Scout Manchester timelapse with these in-depth urban collections, you can craft truly powerful and layered stories about modern Britain.
The Phenomenal Shot: Manchester from Kinder Low
Let's circle back to what truly sets this new collection apart: Clip Pack #308 - Kinder Scout Manchester Timelapse Footage. It's phenomenal. It's the ultimate visual metaphor for the UK—the ancient, wild land meeting the relentless, driving force of its cities. This shot, unique in its conception and execution, will elevate any project, offering a perspective on Manchester that simply cannot be captured from within the city itself. It’s the definitive visual statement of urban sprawl seen from the natural sublime.
Duration: 1 minute 48 seconds
Clips: 3 timelapse sequences
File Size: 4.74GB
Resolution: 4K UHD, ProRes 422
This pack is nothing short of magnificent. It contains 3 clips of absolutely superb 4K UHD timelapse stock footage, delivered in post-production-friendly ProRes 422 quality. The entire trip to Kinder Low was geared toward capturing these unique sequences, and it was a remarkable success, providing truly stunning content.
The pack includes three truly unique sequences:
Day-to-Night Manchester: This wide shot of Manchester is nothing short of cinematic excellence. Watch as the sky turns to darkness, the city turns to light, and the city lights dance under a cloudy sky, with light pollution and the occasional star. This is bonkers content—a dramatic contrast of the quiet, rural foreground of the Peak District and the busy, chaotic city sprawl below.
Long Lens Dusk-to-Night: A truly remarkable and unique timelapse sequence, captured on a very long lens. This is something that is technically difficult to achieve successfully, and it provides an exquisite view of the urban centre transitioning into night.
Moving Shadow: A daylight timelapse of moving shadows across the same scene and viewpoint, captured in slower time for dramatic detail.
These collections are simply magnificent and showcase stunning technical excellence.
