NYE Fireworks, from the sky!

31 December 2017 (or is it 1 January 2018?)

One can never get bored of this amazing display, this show that millions watch on their TVs, and hundred of thousands come to see live, from one of the many overcrowded view points in the harbour.

Rooftops, parks, balcony, boats, anywhere you can have a look at the fireworks, you will find people.

And once more, Peter and Aerial Film Australia have been commissioned to cover them from the sky. With the chopper from Sydney Helicopter, and Mark Harold piloting, we take off for this grandiose show of pyrotechny.

Here is the Full Gallery.

Dramatic Milford Sound

DSC0888430 April 2016

Today Milford Sound is just fantastic. We fly a few times, ticking off many of the required shots. It is just exquisite. So dramatic and fabulous. Being given the opportunity to see that from the sky is another wonder. An amazing place on earth, so remote, and so left untouched.

Really a beautiful place!

Here is the full gallery.

Aujourd’hui, Milford Sound est juste fantastique. On fait plusieurs vols, épuisant toute une série de plans de notre liste. C’est si dramatique, si fabuleux! Et avoir la chance de voir tout ça depuis le ciel est extraordinaire. Vraiment un lieu magnifique sur terre. Si isolé, et encore, heureusement,  intouché.

Milford Sound, sunny side, from the air.

DSC0858428 April 2016

This morning the weather is not too bad, it is actually amazing. But, believe it or not, what a lot of film maker, or even simple tourist, would have found amazing and perfect, is too sunny for our movie!

So after flying a bit here and there, we will spend most of our day on the ground, waiting for more clouds and rain!

Here is the full gallery.

Ce matin, la météo est plutôt bonne. En fait, pour Milford Sound, elle est même fantastique! C’est dur à croire, mais cette météo qui aurait ravi la plupart de équipes de tournage, ou même les simples touristes, est trop ensoleillée pour nous!

Alors, après avoir volé un peu ici et là, on va passer la plus grande partie de notre journée au sol, attendant plus de nuages et de pluie!

Test Shoot with the Hydra

DSC0840227 April 2016

The gimbal is on, and after a few hiccups, all systems are green. The beast is happy and purr like a kitten. We are off to a fly test before heading to Milford Sound for the actual shoot.

Here is the full gallery.

Le gimbal est assemblé et monté sur hélicoptère, et après quelques petits problèmes techniques, tout fonctionne. La bête est heureuse, et ronronne comme un chaton. On va faire un petit vol pour tout tester avant de partir pour Milford Sound où le shoot aura lieu.

Shotover F1 – Alice Spring

DSC09677

22 September 2015

A little job Peter and I did in Alice Spring, shooting a promo launch of the new Bentley, proving that it could drive at 210 miles per hour.

Very fun job, always love to travel, and well, play with big toys… We rigged the Shotover F1 on a R44, quite small helicopter really, and then on the second day we rigged it on a flat bed ute, for some car to car action. Great fun!

Those pictures were taken at sunset, when the chopper was shooting the evening sequence for the launch.

Here is the full Gallery.

Un petit boulot que Peter et moi avons fait à Alice Spring : filmer une petite vidéo promotionnelle pour la nouvelle Bentley, pour prouver qu’elle peut rouler à 210 miles par heure.
Un boulot bien sympathique, vu que j’aime bien voyager et jouer avec des gros jouets! On a monté le Shotover F1 sur un hélico R44, un petit hélicoptère, et le lendemain, on a filmé des scènes de voiture à voiture, en montant le Shotover F1 sur un pick-up a plateau. Que du bonheur!

Ces photos ont été prises au coucher du soleil, quand l’hélico filmait la scène de la vidéo avec la belle lumière du coucher du soleil.

Shotover K1 – Garie Beach

DSC03987

23 March 2016

Today we were shooting a commercial down in the Royal National Park, with the Shotover K1. We flew to be there by the break of down, and started shooting almost right away. While I couldn’t be in the chopper while they were shooting, I enjoyed the sunrise and taking some shots the chopper flying down low.

Here is the full Gallery

Aujourd’hui, on filmait une publicité dans le Royal National Park, à environ 2 heures de voiture au sud de Sydney. On y est allé en hélicoptère, bien tôt, pour être sur place au lever du soleil, et on a commencé à filmer tout de suite. Je n’ai pas pu rester dans hélicoptère pendant qu’ils filmaient, mais j’ai pu apprécier le lever de soleil et prendre des photos de hélicoptère volant bien bas.

A glimpse of Tasmania

DSC04852

22 April 2015

In Tasmania for a very short stay, prepping the Shotover K1 for a feature, and then driving away with a barrel of fuel, I stopped here and there for a few quick shots.

Before jumping on the chopper for a quick fly over Hobart by night.

Helicopter job at Sea Bridge

IMG_1396

 

30 March 2015

Today I helped Peter Beeh on a job with the Shotover F1 down at Sea Bridge, not far from Wollongong, a part of the coastal road is quite spectacular and often used for car commercial. While Peter was shooting, I was on the ground taking some shots of the helicopter flying low…

I know now where I will put myself to get better shots next time!

Here is the full album
