ltdiver 3 #27 December 12, 2007 Quote Quote Quote I will but I'm guessing the windtunnel/green screen was helpful. Just checked in about your question and no...they did -not- windtunnel/green screen it. It was actual freefall footage from start to finish. With stunt doubles for Morgan and Jack. People 'in the biz' could tell you more in detail how they got their faces on the stunt doubles, though. ltdiver THats what I meant; that Jack an dmorgan did not actually jump. I thought the original link here showed morgan in freefall. So that part of the footage was created. The freefall from start to finish was complete and in the air. The computer guru's were able to "paste' (help me here, film-buffs with the actual computer terms) Jack and Morgan's faces on top of the stunt double's faces in freefall. It was really wicked how they did it. They did the same over the top of Jim and J.C.'s faces too. Take a look at the footage again. That is Jim and J.C. there. But not their faces! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchy68 0 #28 December 12, 2007 "Composited" is the term you are looking for. In this particular case, also known as face replacement.

PhreeZone 20 #30 December 12, 2007 Becaue it allows the tandems to fly close to each other in freefall and have a range of motion still. With a drogue out a tandem can not really move that much but to get two tandems to fly 6 feet apart would not be possible with drogues out.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You were asking from the tandem's point of view (why would they do that?). I was answering from a cameraflyer's point of view (why would they try to fall fast?).

I was answering from a cameraflyer's point of view (why would they try to fall fast?). I've never flown camera, and I've never been a TM (shoot I've never even jumped tandem!) so I wouldn't know anything about either...so it's all good to know to satisfy curiosity. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

TheSecret 0 #37 January 14, 2008 I just saw the movie, it was pretty good. Although they made the tandems look like a terrifying and out of control experience. I would not jump a tandem ever, if I just watched that first!Life is good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
