Storyline: At 7 a.m. we were ready to catch the morning sun
before conference and began rooftop training (Fire Venting
& Observation). We had with
us a set of brand new SunnySky motors kv 980 for this flight. We
kicked off the first
scene with showcasing HoryzonHD v3, a FPV camera tested on this flight and then
began rolling into a classic moving car sequence, featuring Fort Lauderdale. We
then provided a first glimpsed of the majestic W Hotel Helipad (Ground Station) and back to the car sequence in slow motion to the waiting
Ocean Rescue Team. This scene filmed at 60 frames was reduced by 50% (30 fps),
to create a smooth slow motion effect. Next, a shot of the beaches and a
signature fly-by. To transition to the flight scene, we took you back to
the W Hotel again, a peek of the architecture provided a sense of how tall the
hotel is. At frame 0:47, we began the flight in first person view, another
classic signature sequence with the motors ringing (got to have that
sound of the motors spinning up) along with our favorite epic music piece by Rocco.
W-Hotel, Fort Lauderdale
The flight scenes were filmed with HoryzonHD
v3, a camera specially made for FPV. No gimbals were used. At 1:55 you have
the view of the sunrise. Immediately followed by some blurry footage, due to low
lighting (a limitation of the HoryzonHD v3). You might notice when we
turned a corner,
the picture was sharp again. So filming at sunrise, we learned that every
turn towards the sun gave us a sharper picture. At 2:59, we added our
favorite sequence that appeared in most of our FPV videos; a Picture in a Picture
OSD of the Pilot's view, to provide our fans (non FPVer) a view of it. This video
was synchronized with the soundtrack ... enjoy..
