Lake Rawlings - "DAS PLANE" Video

[Drewski]

Well, RAD the boys and I were SUPPOSED to dive the Chenango this weekend but, as usual, the weather SUCKED.

So, when you can't get offshore, you go screw around in a quarry. Then, in a DEPRESSED state, you drive home... Suddenly, as you're flipping through the radio channels, you hear the sound track from "Apocalypse Now" (AKA "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner). You just happen to have some video of an underwater aircraft. HMMMMM...

I give you, DAS PLANE...



Enjoy! (Play it LOUD)

Very nice Andy. Having been a Huey pilot in an earlier life I can really appreciate the music. What video setup did you have for the capture?

Very nice. I'm happy to see they put the wings back on the plane. I'll have to bring the wife sometime to dive the plane. Although probably not until next Summer. She has surgery in July.

THANKS guys...

My camera is a Sony VX2000 SD set-up in a Gates Housing with a Fathom Super-Wide 110 degree lens. The lake visibility was about 15 FT, the lens actually improves the viz. My settings were an ISO of 1/60 with a shutter F 4.0, natual light, usuing manual white balance. The "blurryness" of the plane at the edge is because it's white.

I use a MacPro for editing, just with iMovie. I'm getting ready to purchase NLVE software, I just can't make up my mind what brand. BTW, the latest version of iMovie adds "gain" artifact to the video stream that wasn't in the last version, but the coding to YouTube seems better quality. On a standard TV, this video looks practically high-def.
