 |  USRA Giant Scale race "THE VIDEO!"
Hey guys... Well here it is... a look into the world of Giant scale racing. The weather was GRAY but I did the best I could. Also, ever try to film a plane flying at 200 mph with a dark gray sky for a background?? MAN... Also, I have 2 - 3 more pilot interviews I'll post tomorrow! ENJOY! Heres the link. http://www.flyinggiants.com/gallery/...500&ppuser=226

Very cool stuff Sleepy. That has got to be one hell of a crowd pleaser. I can imagine that you don't want to zoom in to much on those things during filming, if you lost it while zoomed in, it would be almost impossible to find it again. Very Very impressive. Mike Darr |

Thanks. What sucks is.. I had a great camera, (Canon GL-2) and someone wanted it a bit more than I did, and it was stolen (FROM a FLYIN!!!). If I would have had that camera the footage would have been AMAZING. But the little Panasonic is still a 3CCD camera and takes clean video, only problem ....I have no sweet leneses for the little guy. But I think for the grayness of the sky... it turned out pretty good! Oh well... Max and gang can catch the last leg of the race and get some sunny footage!!

Sleepy, It was great hangin' with you up in your part of the country. You did FG proud. And the video is great with cool editing. I'm amazed that you could follow the planes while looking through a camera. Sometimes the pylon judges can't even do that with wide open eyes! Now that I'm back in NC, I'm going to upload my pics and some descriptions right away. Enjoyed it, dude! |
