Description

A behind the scenes look at Warrington Cine Club and how their amateur films are made. We see the crew set up camera angles and shoot scenes in various locations including very close to railway tracks. A title card reads 'Comfort is the motto', we then see the cameraman lying on pillows in a garden in order to get the right shot. The film ends with colour material on the location of 'Tempus Fugitives', director and cameraman set up scenes and film action in garden of house with the use of fast motion effect.
