The first 20 minutes of Spitires, Hurricanes and Buchons was 20 minutes of pure joy ! The sight of the planes, the sound of the engines, set against that perfect blue 'Battle of Britain' Autumn Sky was just incredible. Possibly one of the best flying sequences I've ever seen !
Geweldige show,ik ben speciaal vanuit België gekomen om dit te zien en had het geluk met het weer.Ik heb een paar keer een kick gekregen van het geluid van deze tuigen.Goed gefilmd ook bij wel een heel strakke wind.Ik had gefilmd met een sony camcordertje maar zeer veel geruis van de wind.
Thank you for posting this ,it is appreciated.If i could make a couple of hopefully constructive comments that may help.Practice when you get the chance somewhere with a prop plane using about 1/50 th of a second shutter speed ,it helps the props move more naturally,try different speeds see what works.Try to use manual focussing most the time infinity or close to it will cover most of it ok ,auto focus tends to hunt when it loses the subject [once again just practice when it is quiet]. . Gentle slooooow panning when possible .If you do have an external microphone socket you can get relatively cheap microphones BUT get a wind cover for it.Good luck and most of all have fun :)
Thank you for this I will try your tips I had not realised the shutter speed would affect the way the props appear I thought it was frame rate. I do use a Rode external mic with a dead cat but it still seems to catch the wind.At the min I use a bridge with a cmos sensor is there a better option so I don’t get this prop effect or is it just down to the settings
That is a very good record of some of the air show. It looks like it was recorded on the Saturday from the look of the sky and the weather. I was there working. People attending on the Sunday were less fortunate with the weather. In addition to the flying there were many other attractions such as 1940s music and dancing in one of the hangers, stalls selling related memorabilia, rides in FV432 armoured personnel carriers, and full access to all the museum exhibits of aircraft, including Concorde, and the Land Warfare Hall containing a large number of tanks, guns and trucks. The museum is open every day except Christmas, but we will have to wait until May 2020 for the next air shows.
Thanks, but the prop blades look stupid as if they have engine problems, our eyes dont see them like that, you need to know how to film such, use a shutter speed of 1/50 ! dont put the camcorder on automatic, give it the shutter that suits 1/50, you may need a ND filter or dial it in if camcorder has such.
