DJL 235 #26 May 8, 2006 I've only seen video of it on tandems. I HAVE had it happen to me on other jumps and to say the least, I wasn't happy about it."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #27 May 8, 2006 QuoteYep, if you ever seen anybody fly by you at freefall speed while you're sniveling under canopy, it'll make you track away on all future skydives. No kidding!Track long and pull low. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #28 May 9, 2006 That's why i said "I decided". If you like it on your flick, cool. I'm still at the stage of experimenting with a lot of stuff on my vids and i haven't decided with one way in particular to go. Although i see the reasoning in the other posts so i'm gonna take it into consideration and go play with some stuff. Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jethers203 0 #29 May 9, 2006 The way I do it (using linear editing) is I first play the tandem video in slow motion. When they deploy and I go on my back to film their opening, I insert a still pic and rewind to the exit. Then I play the video in full speed and keep it rolling until I land. If the spot is long, I stop recording until I am able to spiral around. I do this so the tandem person can show their friends kind of what it's like under canopy. If there are some canopies in the area, I will get behind them and film them. This weekend I was flying behind a bird and it looks pretty cool on video. After landing I stop recording before my canopy hits the ground and I start again when the tandem is in the pattern to land. My videos usually average around 8 minutes. I really don't care about saving tape. Clint D-24352 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
