New 7 part personal soaring movie in Utah

Thanks very much for sharing these. As a low hours pilot it is a treat to
watch a flight like this, especially since there are no mountains or ridges
where I fly.

I am amazed that more people don't film their flights and share them
with others. Yes, it leaves you open to criticism - I know my yaw
string isn't straight a lot of the time. If people had any idea what
we experience up there, we'd have quite a few more friends soaring with
us.

The links to the videos are on my homepage (I hope you have a fast
internet connection).

One of the more amazing pieces of film recently made on gliding is called "A
fine week in soaring" If you have not seen it, you should!!!!

We are working on one for the Willamette Valley here in Oregon, USA.

We're going to call it "We're fine with weak soaring."

Bruno,

There's some nice footage in there. Next step, some editing. Maybe a
collage of different types of soaring... thermal, wave, ridge...
terrain... mountain, valley, plateau, cliff face... and weather....
fair weather cu, front, thunderstorm. You could start with the best of
what you have, and add over time. Add some music and narration, and
you've got a nice advert for the sport.

Great idea. I have about 7 hours of footage from last year's flights.
There is about all those types of flying in there, I just wish that
video editing didn't take soooooo long!

If you want to see a great gliding video, order via
the website the 2004 smoking video. It was made in
the Uk. Great to watch for glider pilots and also a
great video to promote the sport.

I like very much watching at soaring videos. Expecially those which do
“not” add music.
Unfortunately, between the 47 movies I could download from Internet
(not many because my modem isn’t that fast), only 2 have really
natural sound.
If I could suggest to a friend how to edit his new movies, I would say
“Please, don’t add music. Let us enjoy the same real sound of air and
wind that you loved when you were up there”.
In my opinion, the natural sound of air around the glider is one of
the most fascinating sounds in the universe.
I didn’t try to download your videos yet. I shall try this nights.
Thankyou for sharing your wonderful gliding experiences.
Happy thermals!

I agree so strongly that I will hardly look at one
anymore. I have 50years in the classical music field;
I cannot endure the current popular music, that travels
under the useless term 'Rock Music.' My own tastes
dictate that the Debussy String Quartet would best
fit soaring movies and that 'Rock' would best fit NASCAR
races, but I know from experience that not many outside
my field would agree with me.

Leave it out unless you can compose music to fit precisely
the actual movement, just like a film music composer.

Hey Nyal

Personal vote would go the way of Handel or Purcel or Telleman but there's space
for all of us.

My tastes are eclectic, but I have to say there appears to be relatively little
musical merit in much of the currently popular auditory drivel.

One bright spot - Enio Morricone and John Williams (probably others too-but
these two stand out) are introducing a new generation to some music that is not
composed by someone who died before your parents were born - that has musical
merit.
