[Hidden-tech] aeiral videography tips

[Steve Unkles]

Hi Tom,
Nice gig!  
I would go for early AM for the cleanest, clearest air, less human activity 
(unless you want that) and lighting that could be anything--cool misty or 
warm-colored depending on atmospheric conditions but should be dramatic either 
way--showing more contour to the land with shadows and/or pockets of fog.
The bigger challenge though is getting really smooth, steady shots as the 
chopper creates too much vibration to support the camera conventionally.  
Shooting a high frame rate and slowing down in post also is a technique you'll 
often see used for this.  

Hope that helps, and I'd love to see the results!
Cheers,
Steve

Hi all,

I'm preparing for a shoot up in Prince Edward Island that involves aerials in a 
helicopter (which I'm really excited about). Wondering if fellow videographers 
have a preference for a time of day...morning/sunrise vs noon vs late 
day/sunset. 
I've done a few other aerial shoots before but not in such a fantastically 
beautiful location and I want to be sure I get the client the best bang for 
their buck :)
Thanks for your input
 
Regards,
