Skylark 0 #1 May 1, 2005 http://www.baserigs.com/docs/photo-video/video/docs/EGquad.MPG The BASE jumper in this cliff appears to float vertically a few seconds after completing his somersaults. Can anyone explain this? "Into the dangerous world I leapt..." William Blake, Songs of Experience Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kris 0 #4 May 1, 2005 Looks like just a rapid slowdown, coupled with camera angle, as he flattens-out to go into his track.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spidermonky 0 #6 May 1, 2005 It's just the angle. The camera is close to the base of the cliff so as he jumps out away from it you can see him in front of the cliff. Then he quickly tracks over the camera, proving how close the camera is to the base. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGraham 0 #7 May 1, 2005 It's just because during the initial portion of the track, they're moving directly towards the camera. Since he/she is some distance away, you can't really see them "grow" as they get nearer, so it just looks like they're staying still. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
