Hanging Tom Cruise outside an airplane

Um, wow...

The amateur movie makers will want to pause it at the 12 second mark and prepare to be humbled by the gear they used...

I was prepared to humbled if it had been a GoPro, but that crazy million dollar thing they used probably worth it.

Maybe "jealous" would have been a better choice of words. :-)

Zane, maybe a year or two before I left Yamaha, Josh Hayes was part of a multi day film production at Chuchwala Raceway for some motorcycle safety video for service men and women. I think the National Gaurd paid for the filming. But anyway, it was my first time on a full on movie production set done by the pro's. They had a truck that was completely blacked out with one of those $100k cameras on a boom, a helicopter with the same type of camera and......... About 3 suitcases of GoPros. We were amazed at first that they were using GoPros but they said they actually work great for tight small places they want footage from. A they said the quality is great too.

I guess the finished video never made it to the public viewers. Amazing the amount of time, editing, money and production it takes for a short 30 video that never gets to be seen by anybody.

At least the A400 did not crash this time.
