This video takes inspiration from the 12th Century Bolton Abbey priory ruins which overlook the River Wharfe.

The land at Bolton was granted to the Augustinian Canons in 1154 by Lady Alice de Rumilly. It is thought that she gave the Canons the land as an expression of her grief for her son, the Boy of Egremont, who drowned in the Strid. Thankfully this is an unlikely tale as the boy's signature appears on the Priory's deeds. After the dissolution of the monastries in 1539 the nave of the Priory was allowed to continue as a parish church. All the other priory buildings were stripped of their lead roofs, leaving the stone work exposed to the elements. Over time the stone structures weakened and began to fall down. Rather than leaving good stone to go to waste is was pillaged and today can be found in buildings up and down the Wharfe valley.

Music is Someille Nachtstuck by Georg Philipp Telemann (March 14, 1681 – June 25, 1767), a German Baroque music composer, born in Magdeburg.

Self-taught in music, he studied law at the University of Leipzig. Often described as the most prolific composer in history (at least in terms of surviving oeuvre), he was a contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi and a lifelong friend of George Frideric Handel.

Hello all

I am the Creative Director for LandscapeHD a TV channel with a difference that has been broadcasting in Europe for more than 20 years. We have recently developed a new creative project that aims to act as an outlet for talented film makers to get there work onto our HD television channel and into viewers homes through cable, satellite and terrestrial television systems.

We are a music television channel that broadcast world, instrumental and classical music videos. These are not music videos in the traditional sense (featuring the musician) but are more like short films combining HD imagery of the world we live in set to music taken from our extensive rights cleared library of classical and contemporary instrumental music.

What we are looking for are talented film-makers with a desire to get there work onto television. When your film/music video is broadcast you will earn royalties for the hard work you have put in and an on-screen credit to your website.

You will need an camera capable of shooting in HD (either progressive or interlaced) and edit equipment that can export uncompressed.

Please note: we are not YouTube we are a commercial television channel and therefore have strict broadcast standards in place so please only email once you have visited our website landscapehd.com and have read the Production pages and in particular The Producer Page.

If you think your work is suitable please email me a link to ben@landscapehd.com
