Shropshire film-makers capture Ludlow with stunning aerial footage for new tourism film

Shropshire based film-makers have been capturing stunning footage of Ludlow’s key landmark sites for a new promotional film for Ludlow, commissioned by the Destination Ludlow Partnership.

Married couple Tom Middleton and Miche Parkinson, who run the production company SMN Film, have been taking advantage of the beautiful Spring weather, using cinema standard drone technology to film never seen before angles of Ludlow in the spring mist.

“Ludlow is such a picturesque town, and we really want to showcase its beauty and inspire people to come and visit this Summer,” said Tom. “It’s a real honour to have been asked to produce this film, and we are so excited by the creative challenge of finding new ways to film the town from the ground, and from the sky.”

Miche added: “Its a great opportunity to get involved with the local businesses in Ludlow, and this presents a way to unite the town as a whole with a great marketing campaign.”

Tish Dockerty, Chair of Destination Ludlow Partnership and member of Ludlow Chamber of Commerce adds "This is a great opportunity to work with two very talented people who happen to live and work near Ludlow and feel as we do, passionately about Ludlow and its quest to attract visitors to the town and area."

The project will continue until early Summer when the finished film will be released on the Ludlow Guide Website and across social media channels including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
