Rabbit Man

Skate Park for Netherfield

A short film made in a weekend by members of the Gedling DVD team. The idea for the film came from the young people and was used to introduce filming and editing techniques and special effects.

This film follows the campaign in Netherfield to get a Skate Park designed and built for young people using BMX bikes. The young people were involved in making the film and used part of it to encourage others to get involved with the campaign.
