I'm trying to be positive for this for a second.
If this is seen as test for Pasta, his camera, his ability to get results under these conditions, well, it's not worth what it costs, but it would have some value.
Here's an idea. Not a good one, necessarily, but just an idea.
A 30 minute long speech, or text of some sort. perhaps a long exerpt from a Ron Paul Book.
That is what is one the ticker on the plane.
And the plane is flying very slowly. And Pasta has it in frame, looking so perfectly well lit from the sunset. A full 30 minutes.
Just an idea.
Now, you might not have an application for that. That's fine.
Because this is a Pasta Rocket test.
And if you can pull that off, you get an A+
You know Orlando. You know North South East and West. Where are you going to be and where do you want the plane to come from and go to.
What is the background? You should be able to see what the ticker says from an angle.
Which direction does the scroller face? Is the plane coming at you from the proper angle, so that you can frame up the shot properly.
I'll look at the old videos and edit in that data later.
I'll also look at a map of Orlando.
The plane should be flying in circles around you. Like a spiral. You start seeing the plane on the horizon and you might as well shoot that. It will appear in front of you, going from left to right. And slowly goes in circles, and you go in circles, The first shots will be of Orlando, the horizon, sunset, and a plane with ron paul messages.
By the end, it's completely dark, the plane is overhead, and you're getting as clear a shot as you can get of the lights.
You might think of this plane as "B Roll" for the infomercial project. You will want to have your messages showing. Delete the one that says we could bomb you.
Earlier on this thread I have section headings for potential ron paul informercial. You could think along those lines.
Right now I'm thinking that I'll judge the ultimate success or failure of this project based on the video we get.
Someone could go to Orlando or Florida for Ron Paul Facebook and tell them where the plane is going to be, and when, and we want video.
