The Feather
by AIRSTRIPPED.COM Production Blog on Jan.09, 2010, under MAKING OF - Articles
Well, doing a shooting with a simple goose feather sounds very simple. But as we
mentioned (after spending hours and hours, days by days outside, playing with
this little flyweight) it is not that easy. It’s quite hard work ;)
Our greatest enemy was the wind. On the one hand we needed him for
the right movement of our little aviator – and on the other hand, it was
a problem, cause as you know, you can’t tell him how much to blow and of
course in which direction.
Running with a camera in your hand – behind, under or above a flying goose
feather is an very special experience in the life of a film making person.
Patience is the most important thing, after perfect knowledge of how to
handle your equipment.
Our patience with nature has been rewarded with extraordinary daylight
conditions, and we got awesome footage from and with our little aviator.
Wolf and I spent a lot of time on producing the feather scenes, because we
know, that this is another stuff, that hasn’t been presented in any other
aerial extremesports movie so far. Special audience deserves special
frames. That’s what it is! We are very much looking forward to present you
some outtakes of this scenes in Teasers or Trailers soon!
