Air-to-air Cinematography
or air-to-ground cinematography. Air to air cinematography and air
to ground cinematography. Shooting a
fixed wing aircraft is less difficult than shooting
close up from a helicopter. Large fixed wing air
craft often fly so smoothly that a cinecamera with a short
focal length lens does not need any form of stabilization. A tripod with a leveling head
should be securely fitted by an engineer familiar with aircraft regulations. Camera often operated at 32-48 fps or faster to smooth
out variations and slow down relative movements. With long
focal length lenses, an anti-vibration mounting
system or an image stabilizer is needed
for steady high definition pictures. For hand
held work in small air crafts shoulder supported cameras
are best, especially in jet fighters or when filming aerobatics air-to-air,
when `4g’ forces make a camera and operator weigh four times their normal
weight. A two-way intercom between cameraman and
pilot is essential. An 85B filter reduces the
blueness of high altitudes and a polascreen
improves contrast if the aircraft is flying
constantly in one direction.
