Guys and Gals, What is the scope and target audience of the proposed Gliding Movie?
The reason I am asking is, I have recently seen some great sport presentations 30 to 60 minutes on sports including paragliding, canoeing, scuba, and they make the activities look very exciting. I have not seen any similar footage on gliding. But I am sure that the right people with the right equipment could make our sport look exciting. Some one preparation for a long cross country, a safari, or a diamond height gain where no one has done one before. Personally I would like to see all our competitions filmed in a similar way we see cycling, car rallies, and other sports that are not contained in an arena filmed and packaged. The complete event is then presented in 40 to 60 minutes of footage - I believe that a Gliding Comp could be made to look very exciting. This kind of exposure would educate people that we don't fly round and round over airfields and it is a serious sport. This should attract people to gliding who may have written the sport off as not for them because of misconceptions. That's the dream - can we make it reality? What do think SDF -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Newton Sent: Thursday, 29 July 2004 11:08 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.

Most mini-DV cameras -do- have an analogue video input. (we have three members with $200 lipstick cameras and mini-DV cameras from a variety of manufacturers in our club. Works like a charm) - mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried an internal modem, [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it hurt when I walked.
