|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board How'd they do this shot? Robert Scheer, Photographer Indianapolis | IN | USA | Posted: 4:19 PM on 05.04.10 ->> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnMc9upBmYQ RC helicopter (our guess)? Some sort of boom? It's a great opening shot, and some co-workers and I are trying to figure out different ways of doing this shot. The bricks are small, the lens is wide, it really doesn't look like the lens is more than about 20 feet off the ground, at most. Thanks.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The helicam doesn't appear to do that.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They have the $$$.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If it was RC heli they would of kept going. There was also no dust being blown around from chopper blades at the low altitudes.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The tilt is easily controllable with a boom. Boom Boom Pow!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have a buddy who's got one and shots like that are relatively easy. http://jimmyjib.com/triangle.html  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

This is obviously the right way to get the job done. They might've added a slight stabilization with a guyro or something though too. http://vimeo.com/5035726  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (4) | Huh?

Basically, the jib telescopes to get the "just above ground, approaching the stone" shot and then obviously the jib moves to a higher angle and pans. You never see more travel than a jib that is no more than 45' extended can't handle. http://www.telescopicjib.com/  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
