As no-one has posted any footage recently, I thought I would post some of my own.

Wow!

I didn't even realise that those sorts of planes (near the end) were still flying!

They are both replicas built for "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" However the collection also fly a 1908 Bleriot which is the oldest flying aircraft in the world and a 1912 Blackburn Monoplane which is the oldest flying British Aircraft.

I'm making a docco about the collection at the moment.

Beautiful pictures Steve, nice golden hour light and vintage aircraft. You'll have to show me the full 1080i footage some time.

Footage looks good, what lens are you using?

I forgot to mention that the footage is not graded at all.

Not sure what the lens was exactly but it's Alisters camera so he'll be able to answer that.

Excellent---beautiful camera work. What are you using for a tripod--the pans were incredibly smooth.

Simon Wyndham · September 26th, 2006, 01:56 PM

Yes, I was quite impressed at how solidly the aircraft were framed throughout.

Steve Connor · September 26th, 2006, 03:32 PM

I've been filming aircraft for 10 years! Can't remember exactly what Alisters tripod is but it's a very lightweight one. The beauty of the venue is the aircraft are just a few yards away so you don't have to use the long end of the lens too much.

Now shooting Jets flying at 400mph on HDCam using a J40 with the extender in, that's hard work!

David Mintzer · September 26th, 2006, 11:45 PM

Look forward to seeing the Jetsssssssssssssssss
