lilryno 0 #1 March 9, 2004 Hey all, Making a Video CD malfuction trainer for my wife and I. One of the features it will have is several chapters of short clips. These short clips will be footage of canopy openings and the malfunctions. Also part of the clip will include an altimeter in the bottom left side of the screen. We would use this by one of us simulating a dive while the other hits the next button on the remote to a preprogrammed "malfunction clip" and hits pause. When she gets to throwing out her pilot chute in her simulated dive I would hit play...and she would see whatever type of malfunction is there...if any...and would take corrective action. Then pause would be hit again...the altimeter read...and we could talk about timing etc. That's the goal. So we are looking for any video footage taken under canopy of openings and/or malfunctions for our simulation. We've got some good stuff from "Cutaway" and are just looking for other video out there to give the simulator more options. Any comments or suggestions (or video clips!) would be very much appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #2 March 10, 2004 http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=category&id=4 Try here. I might be tempted to embed the video footage in something like Powerpoint, this way you can use stills, and text etc to emphasise the point. And I'd be careful about broadcasting the fact that you are pilfering video from a commercial source (Cutaway).

lilryno 0 #3 March 10, 2004 Good idea and great link! Very helpful. Yeah, I imagine there are some copyright issues though I bought the video and so it's probably still considered personal use. But you're right...you never know. Thanks again for that link.
