any format will do... as i can reformat it easily.. avi ideally.. resolution .. 320 x 240 up will do to be honest.. use your own judgement.. the author will be credited.. i can overlay author details onto the actual movie in adobe premiere.. maybe use it as a trailer spot for an commercial vid? length is 10-20 secs.. longer is fine but 10-20 secs is all i expect.. any other q's ..ask away.. inquiring at skydiving movies is a decent suggestion but i though enquiring here would be more fruitful as my pitch is on thursday which is only 2 and a half days away..!

hi! .. im a student that is entering a student computer game competition, daretobedigital to be exact. On thursday we have to pitch our idea to an interview panel of 4 officials. Anyway the game we are making is based around base-jumping/skydiving, some of you may remember me as i posted here ages ago.. We are intending to make one base-jump and one skydive level, a really nice touch would be to have some actual real footage that gets unlocked when you complete the levels.. I was wondering (plz dont slate me, a no will suffice) if anybody would be nice enough to donate some footage? .. basically im looking for 2 movies, 10-20 seconds long of cool looking footage.. ideally 1 movie would be a wingsuit movie and the other a base-jump movie.. but any decent footage is apprieciated.. thank you for your time.. i apologise if somehow my comments offend anybody.. my email is [email protected]

@grue: thank you, most helpful.. exactly the kind of response i wanted.. ..much apprieciated.. @tonto: you must have missed the "student competition" part of my post.. i do not have the money to hire a "consultant" ..if i did i probably wouldnt be posting here.. it is a good sugestion but is not possible due to my student status .. also you are asking me to see it from your (a purist i presume) perspective.. ..i understand the subject is something close to your heart.. ..but you have to try and understand my position, an exact simulation of skydiving does not make the most fun game.. a game that lasts 30secs or less?.. i dont mean to offend ..i know skydiving is your domain, and i respect that.. ..you got to give me some credit for atleast taking the time to research the subject.. i dont want to end with a simulation like a learner drivers application.. ..you have to factor technology as well... game engines will only show so much area at a time.. example"http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/4108/hugelakesea3xc.png" @mr2mk1g: "right questions"? ...i didnt think there was such a thing as the right questions... do you give out to someone willing to learn merely because they don't know what to ask.. ..a fairly negative view i believe.. you cant blame me for trying to remove my ignorance.. as for jumping ourselves.. that is something we had seriously considered, and we hope to do it in the future.. but once again us being students funds are limited, we will try to do this in future.. but you must be aware that even if i do a few jumps which would take a lot to pay for locally, i wouldnt be as knowledgable as the veterans here... most people i have asked only remember the start and end of there first jump.. once again this is your domain and i must tread respectfully, but try to give me some leeway.. as for the right questions.. what should i be asking? ..feel free to inform me... try not to hate me thank you all for your time so far BarryGallagher

how's it going... i'm a student in a team making a computer game for a student competition that is backed by microsoft, ea among others.. "Why am i here?" you ask.. because the game will be a skydiving/basejumping game and i need information from people who know what they are talking about and i would rather speedy replies and this seems to be the busiest forum... this game will be arcady with an fair element of realism (sorry to all the purists out there!) some questions: -whats the realistic longest duration of a skydive? ..that is freefalling with no real gliding apparatus... -is there a specific name for those skydiving suits that let you glide.. there is extra material under the arms and between the legs.. is this a genre in itself? ..im particularly interested in this section as it offers a lot of gameplay possibilities.. -whats the longest realistic basejump freefall? ..i have heard 60secs.. does this sound about right.. exaggerating a little is ok -do jumpers (base and sky) worry about air currents? .. -if i where to jump out of a plane with a suit (i've never jumped) would i have to worry about being sent into a spin? -is there a negative factor to opening your parachute at a height? ..i.e when ya just stepped offa the plane.. thats all for now.. but no doubt i'll have more questions as i go along.. Thanks Barry Gallagher
