Inspiration Presentation Inspiration Presentation Aaron Irwin My Influence • For my presentation I chose Murray Walker. Famous commentator and journalist within the Motorsport world. • Walker commentated on races from 1948- 2001 and always displayed enthusiasm. • He’s my inspiration because he was so passionate about Formula One his whole life. Mindmapping I created a mindmap to lay out all my ideas for my project, such as what to include in every section of my Immersive Web Experience (IWE) Mindmapping • By mapping out my IWE, I’ve found it easier to compartmentalise the aspects of Murray Walker’s long career. • My idea is take the reader on a progression of his career, beginning in his youth, showing his brief army and advertising career before focusing mainly on his motorsport commentary career. • However should the reader decide to skip to a certain section they are able to. This is my home page for my IWE. When readers open the file, this is the page which will greet them. A loading bar will appear across the bottom to let the reader know when it’s loaded. In order to start the IWE, the reader will click on the ‘Go, Go, Go!’ section. I chose this due to it being one of Murray’s famous catchphrases when commentating. In the bottom left corner is an option to mute the background noise, which will be famous snippets from his commentary career. Once the button is clicked it will take you to this page. Which gives a brief overview of why he’s so famous. Again commentary will be playing in the background with the option to mute it. I will include links to both the F1 ad the BTCC official sites. This page is a bridge between the contents page and the home page. As next will come a contents page with all the categories available to the reader. This will be my contents page. This will be the central page of my IWE, where readers will be redirected after they’ve finished reading the tab they’re on. Along the top are my contents. My categories into what people can read about. This is the start of the early life tab. Included here is clickable links which take you to both his and his father’s motorcycle results (helmet button) and to videos of them riding motorcycles together (playback button). The arrow on the right is to advance the early life tab, leading to another page with text and some soundbites of Murray reflecting on his younger years. This will be the second page, the links on the left remain available to click. This will tell another snippet of Murray’s young life. If you want you can go back through the back arrow under the video link. The sound will continue in the background as Murray continues to discuss his life. This will be the final page of the early life tab. After this the next button will take you to the next tab. This is to keep the continual feel and to keep the reader engrossed within the IWE. This leads you into the army tab wonderfully by telling you about Murray’s time in the School Corps. This is the first page of my Army tab. As he enjoyed a brief army career in World War Two I felt it was necessary to include it in the progression of his life. There is soundbites of Murray in the background discussing his army life as well as ambient noise from WW2 times. Due to Murray’s tenure being a short one, only two slides are necessary. It reveals information as well as including soundbites of both ambient sound and Murray chatting about his experiences in the army. This section will then lead on to the advertising tab, which is done through clicking the next arrow on the right of the screen. I felt it necessary to add Murray’s short advertising career within the IWE. This part includes a document on who he’s worked for, such as Mars and Opal Fruits. The sound to accompany this is adverts including his slogans, such as the Opal Fruits advert. There is only one slide within the advertising tab due to the short nature of his career. The next arrow takes you to the start of his commentating career. The 1950’s is when Murray started to go into commentary. Therefore I’ve chronicled his progression in this tab from his first days in the 50’s to him taking up BBC’s full time F1 coverage in 1978. The first page is about his beginnings and about how he got started. In terms of added content, there’s commentary from Walker himself (soundbite) as well as a biography on Max Robertson, one of Murray’s first real commentary partners. The 50’s section is chronicling Murray’s commentary beginnings, so I’ve mentioned all the key moments within his career as a BBC radio commentator. I’ve also included a clickable stats page for all the Isle of Man TT stats from 1960-1970. Also included is audio from Murray commentating to some key moments of the Isle of Man in the 60’s. With Formula One being the key part of Murray’s commentary career, I’ve found it only right to introduce it here. He was working for the BBC in 1978 when they claimed the rights to show F1 coverage. I’ve added a video link to some F1 action as commentated on by Murray. Also famous soundbites from the 70’s era, mutable by clicking the speaker at the bottom of the screen. The final 50’s slide reveals a little more about his future commentary partner James Hunt, as well as the race which brought Murray to a more international audience. Due to it being such a big moment in his life I felt it necessary to add it. I’ve also included video links to Murray’s commentating on the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix as well as a trailer for the movie Rush, which involved Hunt and his fight for the 1976 world title. I’ve introduced my 80’s section by mentioning the conditions in which Walker and Hunt had to commentate in. I’ve also added a link to a list of the fatalities within Formula One in the 1980’s, with the era being a dangerous one seeing stars such as Gilles Villeneuve die. Also in the corner is soundbites of some of Murray’s famous lines of commentary from the 80’s. With my next page I’ve decided to add a magic moment from Murray’s career. I’ve consulted his autobiography ‘Unless I’m Very Much Mistaken’ and found out he drove an F1 car in 1983. I’ve added this because it’s a key dream of every fan to drive one. I’ve added soundbites from the 80’s and unfortunately there wasn’t a video available of him driving the car or else there’d be a video link at the bottom of the page. For the final 80’s slide I’ve decided to compile some of the biggest moments from the 80’s and add video links to them, all including Murray’s commentary on it. The arrow will then lead into the 1990’s section of the IWE. The first 90’s page is dedicated to the ‘darkest weekend in Formula One.’ Murray was the one who had to broadcast to the BBC from Italy, Therefore I’ve included the video link from that night’s BBC broadcast, including Murray broadcasting live. An audio link to the commentary from the race in 1994 is included in the bottom right hand corner. Next I’ve decided to include a sentimental moment for Murray in Damon Hill’s title triumph. I’ve added a link to the audio from the final lap of his race as it is an immortal line in his commentating career. A big point in Murray’s career was the loss of his commentary partner James Hunt. I’ve therefore added a page to dedicate to him. There are links to his career stats as a driver as well as audio pieces from some famous lines Hunt said in commentary with Murray. This is the final page of the ‘story’ as it is. It ends as describing the move of F1 coverage from BBC to ITV. I’ve added video links to Murray’s final sign off in 2001 as well as the sound of F1 changing from Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain to a sample of Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet by Bachman Turner Overdrive. Therefore I’ve included both intros within the soundbites. This tab is all about the three men he regularly shared the microphone with when commentating in F1. First is James Hunt, I’ve referred to Murray’s autobiography in order to get more detail about his and Hunt’s partnership. Audio links here include to samples of their commentating together. As James and Murray worked together for around 13 years, there was a lot of history between them. Therefore there’s more detail on him than on any other co-commentator. I’ve ended the quote from the previous page and added how the remark was out of Murray’s character, with him being one to see the best in them. The final Hunt slide mentions his death and who replaced him, giving the reader a sign of things to come. This naturally leads into the Palmer pages of the tab.

  • Graham Walker (1897–1962)
    Graham Walker (1897–1962) Graham William Walker was a well known figure in the motor cycling world with successful careers as a racer, journalist and broadcaster. To the current generation he is perhaps best known as the father of the popular motor sports commentator Murray Walker. Graham Walker was the son of William Walker of Aberdeen, a company secretary of the Union Castle shipping line. He developed a passion for motor cycles at an early age, joining the Royal Engineers during World War I where he became a dispatch rider, rising to the rank of Sergeant. He was later injured in the leg by an enemy shell, necessitating the use of a modified brake pedal throughout the rest of his riding career. Whilst convalescing from his injuries in England he met and eventually married Elsie Spratt. They had one son, Graeme Murray Walker, born in 1923. During the early 1920s Walker was a works rider for the Birmingham based Norton Company, achieving some success including a second place in the 1923 Isle of Man Sidecar TT. In 1925 he moved to Wolverhampton and took a position as Competitions Manager and rider for the Sunbeam Company. He was the European 500cc Champion in 1927. In 1928 came another move, this time to take up the post of Sales & Competitions Director with Coventry-based Rudge. Walker continued his racing career, retiring from the lead in that year’s Senior TT only a few miles from the finish line in Douglas. A few weeks later he achieved a thrilling victory in the Ulster Grand Prix, competing with Charlie Dodson for the lead for over two hours and attaining an average speed of over 80mph/128.75kph!

  • Motorsport Legend Murray Walker Is Reunited with His Past at the Royal Automobile Club Dinner
    Friday 25 April: For Immediate Release Motorsport legend Murray Walker is reunited with his past at the Royal Automobile Club dinner Retired motorsport commentator Murray Walker was surprised and overwhelmed last night when, as guest of honour at a Royal Automobile Club dinner, when he was reintroduced to one of his father’s old racing motorcycles. The bike was one of a group of his late father’s Rudge motorcycles that the Club had assembled as a surpise for Murray. To millions, the name Murray Walker is synonymous with Formula One, but as the son of Graham Walker, the succesful motorcycle racer of the Twenties and Thirties, Murray’s first love was bikes and his early career centred around motorcycling. Indeed the king of F1 commentary often said; ‘four wheels good, two wheels better.’ Another bike in those assembled had been specially shipped over from Australia for the occassion and hasn’t been seen in the UK for over 60 years. The collection included: 1932 Isle of Man TT Senior Race, with a top speed speed of 76.36mph (finished 6th) 1933 Rudge TT replica 1934 Tyrell-Smith motorcycle (6th in the Ulster Grand Prix and won the Australian TT) 1935 TT Rudge Replica racer, one of only ten made Murray was obviously deeply moved by the sight of the old racing warhorse. ‘For once I’m almost speechless,’ said the 90 year-old broadcaster. ‘This is absolutely astounding. My father was a great man to me. I have fifteen silver replicas of his TT bikes and to see these here together after all these years is overwhelming.’ Graham and Murray Walker Murray’s late father Graham Walker was a motorcycle despatch rider for Royal Engineers Signal Service during the First World War.

  • Franco and Formula Fun" Children's Range Brings F1 Off the Track And
    Franco and Formula Fun™ children's range brings F1 off the track and into the playroom "CanI play with your Ferrari please Daddy?"It was this request, and subsequent denial, that set the wheels in motion for Franco and Formula Fun; a range of toys, books and interactive games that bring the thrill of F1 off the track and into the playroom for 3 to 6 year olds. UK (PRWebUK) March 27, 2009 -- "Can I play with your Ferrari please Daddy?" It was this request, and subsequent denial, that set the wheels in motion for Franco and Formula Fun; a range of toys, books and interactive games that bring the thrill of F1 off the track and into the playroom for 3 to 6 year olds. The question was asked by Bruno Nicholas to his F1 fanatic father, Simon, and referred to his somewhat valuable die-cast car collection. Bruno was taking a healthy interest in the sport that so consumed his father, and Marina Nicholas helped her son to understand the teams, their characters and used the natural travelling element of the sport to educate her son on the geography and culture of the F1 destinations. What started as a boy's enthusiasm in his father's passion is now being launched as an entire children's educational and play range inspired by the F1 phenomenon. The Franco and Formula Fun experience encompasses ten racing car characters. Franco, the lead character, is a red Italian car who travels to seventeen racetracks around the world with his friends. Each character is the hero of a book and will soon be available in toy form so that die cast cars remain on the shelf and children can re- enact the crashes and bashes of a race with their own Formula Fun cars.
