Best,

O-2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 go back as far as Xmas 2010. It's just a concept of making videos of other BCP members when I'm personally not flying and get to focus on camera work. Hopefully it won't be as long this time before I can make another. I don't know how Swingle does it. It's so much work.

Yeah, they are work. Your end product is great though! Keep it up!

I'm getting excited for the Lone Star Maule Fly-In. Can't decide whether to concentrate on flying or producing though...

Awesome work Z, you're a natural for narration, love the storytelling approach. Who says GA is dead?

You are correct - heck I do it professionally with a camera crew, sound techs, and professional editors and it's a lot of work. Hy hat's off to you guys. Absolutely professional grade production quality. Thanks again (for giving me an itch that's hard to scratch here in the DC suburbs).

Best,

Re: Episode 3 - Challenge Island

Can I ask what the specs are on that Blue and White Pacer? That thing hopped off the ground very quickly! I'm guessing 160hp and light, but is there anything else besides the technique?

Re: Episode 3 - Challenge Island

Watched it again. Zane, you went beyond just editing a good piece together. You not only have a good eye for shots but with the different camera angles you thought to take, it appears you had multiple cameras.

There was only one of me, but I used 3 different lenses on my camera at different times, plus the GoPro. With that and enough time, one guy can get some pretty decent and varied footage. At some point, I'm going to put up a How-To for shooting video of and from airplanes, at least what I know about it.
