London says goodbye as we emigrate.

Of the 200 or so films that I've made with my phone in the last year, I think this is the one I like the most.

We went on our favorite London walk for the last time yesterday - along the River Thames at Hammersmith.

In two and a half weeks, we're moving to Canada.

I started shooting a plane in the clouds, thinking about making a film about us leaving, and suddenly something magical happened...

...and kept on happening! Instead of fading, they got brighter and more intense!

In mythology, religion, art, literature, music and film, the Rainbow is a powerful symbol, a sign of hope and life and new beginnings.

See you on the other side

Devin, Isaac and shared the magic and wonder as we were stood in the St.James' Park - and you've captured our memories as well as yours. I have never seen anything so flawless. Beautifully done!

Rupert , well done . The Disney / Tarrantino of Mobile Media strikes again. I doubt theres many that are getting the reference to Mr Green and Mr Pink and Mr Purple but im seeing it here. Well done.
