Whooshing Engines
I’ve finished cutting the pictures for Babbling Fools and I’m starting in on the soundtrack. So this week we were back in Bates Mill, with the posh microphone, recording the big thrumming noises from the carding machines.
Whilst our ears were tuned to the Mighty Hum we noticed the Wool Wooshing Engine. This is where the raw wool is whooshed about the mill in huge galvanised whooshing pipes and delivered to big bins in the carding shed.
Not being ones to miss an opportunity the entire crew voted in favour of making a short film about Wool Wooshing.
And, thanks to the wonders of You Tube, here it is, all 50 seconds of it.
[Turn your volume up good and big]
