VIDEO - Puerto Rico Freefall Fest 2006: Wingsuit Edition

Recommended Posts

Ok, here's my PR video. This is my first video made entirely using my own footage. I was going to incorporate footage from some other camera flyers, but I decided against it since (1) it took forever to sort through the footage from just one camera and (2) I was stoked that I actually had this much usable footage from my own camera, and liked the idea of a video that's 100% "mine". :$ Thanks to Omar and Perry for your footage, even though I didn't use it. There was some good stuff in there, and I'm sure everybody will get a chance to see that footage in Omar's longer video.

Looks like you got back flying down!



He sure does!
Awesome flying, Matt!
Without back vents to boot! :o

Does anyone else have pneumonia or something from PR? I've been sick ever since and am consigned to bedrest indefinitely..... :(>:(:(

The video has cheered me up though! :D

Thanks for the kind words everybody.

Kris: I've been swooped by Perry before, and he definitely does some of the closest buzz jobs I've seen B| but in this video only Scotty, Mike, and Omar swoop me.

James: I'm still working on it but I'm getting it right sometimes now. :$

Becca: I had a sinus infection a couple weeks before PR, leftover from Eloy in December. After PR it started coming back and I went on antibiotics for the second time in 2 months, but I'm feeling better now, thanks to those antibiotics.

Thanks. Camera was Sony HC90... footage looks even better uncompressed. :)

nice... thanks for sharing. did you put the letterbox/16:9 look on in camera or in post?



Well, the camera shoots in "16:9", but I think Jarno explained in a post somewhere (the photo forum perhaps) that it's not actually 16:9 but just pre-cropped 4:3 footage... i.e. that I'd be better off shooting standard and cropping in post since I'd have more framing options. I won't pretend to know enough about my camera to know if that's true or not. I just shoot with it on the "16:9" setting because it's easier. And the LCD for my camera is 16:9. B|
