A 10-15
minute film of your skydive dubbed onto a VHS tape (or DVD-Extra) with music and special
effects. We expect to film you at various times from when you leave the
classroom to after your landing. However, because of the number of variables
the only part we guarantee is the freefall phase. Bonus footage that we try
to incorporate may include climbing into the aircraft, takeoff, the climb to
altitude, exit, under canopy and during landing.
Can I
choose my own music for the video?
We
always do our best to match the music to the mood and character of each video.
We have generally found that music chosen prior to the skydive may not
complement the video footage. Additionally, with the many variables involved
with skydiving video and photography, we have no set pattern as to when each
video will be edited and are often unable to consult with the client between
shooting the footage and providing the finished product. What we suggest is,
that if you wish to vary the music with your video, you turn the volume down on
your TV set and crank up your stereo!
How long
before I receive my video?
We try to deliver the same day but because of the special effects we put
into the production and the variables of skydiving, we sometimes have to mail.
We will mail for free of course, within 7-10 days following the day of your
skydive. If you order a DVD it will not be given the day of the skydive, it will
be edited and mailed to you within 7-10 days.
What
kind of still photos can I expect?
Fabulous. After your skydive the photographer will take the film to get it
developed, he will mail the pictures along with the video to your address.
Should I
give advance notice?
Definitely. We need to schedule staff to meet your needs and the advance notice
allows us to better serve you.
Can I
take my own camera with me?
No. You will be too busy with your skydive to look after your camera. It may be
very easily lost or broken, being 2 miles above the Earth and going 120 mph, you
will have enough distractions!
Can I
have my friends take video or stills of me?
Sure. They will be able to take pictures of you under canopy and while landing.
They will probably be able to take close-ups of you after your skydive.
Can the
camera flyer film more than one person?
(or can my friend and I share the video)?
No. The time and distance between exits preclude a camera flyer from being able
to film more than one student per jump.
