Our Education Co-ordinator, Lisa Wright, jetted off to China in Feb 2011 with the task of creating a documentary film about Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service's 'Changing Lives' project. 'Changing Lives' is part of the national Stories of the World cultural olympiad project and saw ten students from the Gilberd School in Colchester take part in a host of cultural activities linking their school to the Jiangsu province in Eastern China. As part of the project, the young people each had to choose a precious artefact from the Nanjing Museum to come back to Colchester Castle in 2012 for a special exhibition. You can read more about the project and the film here.

Anyway, whilst Lisa was out there, carrying our Canon 5D Mark II kit up and down the Great Wall of China, she had an idea about how useful it would be to have a tripod that could have detachable wheels on the ends. She wasn't sure if such a thing existed, but since returning, we've found this wonderful product that we'd like to add to our wish list and maybe you'd like to add to yours too...

We think they'd be great fun to use with our Canon 5D Mark II and the best thing would be helping to get Justin Jensen's unique product out into the market. What do you think?

Oh, and in case you were wondering, you can watch Lisa's documentary here.

We like the pretty night time shots best :)
