Two St Mary’s teenagers have filmed a special helicopter flight to encourage Scilly pupils to move to the mainland to further their education.
Staff from British International Helicopters allowed media students Will Lethbridge, 17, and David Hodgkiss, 18, to shoot the short film from the pilot’s perspective.
There is no post-16 education on Scilly and students must head to the mainland to take their A-levels.
The 7-10 minute film aims to reassure 14 to 16-year-olds on the Islands that making the move can be a positive experience.
It will be the pair’s final project for their National Diploma in Media (Moving Image) at Cornwall College in Camborne.
David said: ‘The flight was amazing and it is a really great experience working on a professional project. It’s not everyday you get to do a film shoot on a helicopter for your college work. The crew were great.?
The video also features footage from Scilly resident Charlotte Jenkins, who is studying media in Shropshire.
