We’ve been working up at Newcastle International Airport on a project between the Airport and the excellent on site Academy run by Newcastle College. The Academy is used to train every kind of discipline in aviation from cabin crew to aerospace engineering. It’s been one of the first projects where our use of High Definition has really helped the shots come to life. The Airport’s fire station were especially accommodating – giving us free reign to get some spectacular shots of their cool Panther Fire Engines putting out a variety of fires on their training plane, they were very understanding of our calls for bigger and bigger flames!
Seeing as though I was an aircraft obsessed kid it’s been great to be at the end of a runway having planes pelt towards me and filming them in full 1080 High Def resolution! The quality of the shots has been fantastic and working with a tapeless technology has been something we’ve been wanting to do for a while, it eases up our workflow and helps us to review footage faster and get the edit underway quicker. The benefit of HD to this project is clear to see and is definitely something to consider for your next video.
