An autistic Cambuslang schoolboy has created an animated safety video for a popular indoor trampoline park.

Noah Bowie from Newton Farm is Flip Out Glasgow's number one fan, and to show his love, he created an animated safety video for all visitors to watch.

The animation is so impressive that Flip Out has replaced their usual video with the 11-year-old's own creation.

The soon-to-be Cathkin High School pupil spoke on why he created the video, he said: "I have autism with a PDA profile, and last year, I created multiple little videos promoting the attractions and sharing some of the rules.

"This year, I decided to write a script and recreate the safety video, but 2D and containing the brand-new attractions. I made the video using a video-making website called Vyond and added some music and my voice as the voiceover.

"My plan is to visit all Flip Out venues and make briefings for every single one. The briefings that I have done are for Glasgow, Aylesbury, Hereford, Rushden Lakes and Stoke.

"When I am older, I would like to open my own Flip Out location, which will be called Flip Out Battle Zone, and instead of a trampoline park, it will be Laser Tag."

Noah's mum Laura added: "Noah's knowledge of the Flip Out locations, attractions and safety videos are incredible, and we think he will definitely have a career in technology at some point in the future.

"It's not easy to find activities that have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) sessions, so we were so happy to find out that Flip Out did sessions. The staff are brilliant, they go above and beyond for the kids, Noah calls them his Flip Out family."

Flip Out Glasgow has ASD sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm and Sundays at 9am, when all flashing lights are turned off, and music turned down to create a more relaxed atmosphere.

Flip Out National Operations Manager Colin Perry said: "Noah is an absolute delight and we love his passion and seeing him at Flip Out. He is now a Flip Out VIP.

"When we saw his animated safety video, we thought it was so engaging and clever, we decided to replace our usual safety video with Noah's own.

"We are so pleased that Noah and his mum Laura have been able to enjoy our ASD sessions and we look forward to seeing more of Noah at Flip Out."
