awesome.

nice day for a plane-ride. ;)

were you in the plane ed?

yah - and my old man was at the controls - bitchin

fantastic. I was just thinking how you'd have timed the changes in the song to the music. Did you actually have it playing in the cockpit, and when it got to the noisy bit, you just pulled the joystick back?

we went up twice - 1st to try out a routine and see what's possible - did a bunch of spipns and rolls over ashburton - then landed - checked the footage for shake etc... refuelled and off again - headed straight for mt. somers up the ashburton river - we did a bunch more spins and wing overs etc over a big clearing - but i wanted mountains under us - so on the way back we climbed for a while to get altitude over the snowy peaks beside mt. somers - and went thru the rolls and wing-overs and split s etc - and this became the video in one shot - the music was playing in my ears - but it quickly went out of sync - so i adjusted the tiings with twixtor in post - the wild footage with engine noise is pretty cool - and is the same length as the song / just the big climb and dive comes in slightly different place

we didn't end up going into a spin over the mountains cos dad was a bit wary of altitude / it's hard to gauge perfectly... but i'm happy with what we came up with - and we got pretty close to that snowy hilltop by the end of the run
