A little bit of light entertainment for a heavy, overcast Sunday - and a Father's Day at that! What shepherds and their flocks do for entertainment, ably assisted by sheepdogs, mobile phones, cameras, quad-bikes and light-emitting diodes... Yes, it is from YouTube and is less than 3 minutes' duration. Happy Father's Day, Dads!
We took to the hills of Wales armed to the teeth with sheep, LEDs and a camera, to create a huge amazing LED display. Of sorts. For more info search for sams...

That was magnificently done. I was expecting the music to be the old Billy Fury song "I'll never find another ewe".

@Asylum Super films, both the original and the sequel. Just seen Zootopia (or Metropolis in the UK, for some reason) which has some good lines in it too.

@pgntwo very much so - just planning it must have been an achievement in itself

@pgntwo they certainly plug the technology used for the stunt at the end so it looks as if they were sponsored

@pgntwo I cannot imagine how difficult has been to coordinate everything.

The planning, coordination and editing alone must have taken some determination!
