I've done a few videos of Charter flights that covers from start to finish. I've shot a video of the Michael Jackson and friends Charter from SEL to MUC and SPB Agong's trip on the Mastar. However they are of home production quality.

 

I'd like to post it but its more than 10 minutes, exceeding the allowable on video hosting websites.

It's really interesting to have these video in my collection

Are you sure you wanna watch home video footages? Like Nik, I also did a lot of home videos (since 2001, initially Sony, then Canon miniDV cams), and put them on DVDs. Editing the raw video was a real chore and challenge (I used Adobe Premiere, & the much simpler Sonic MyDVD). To make things interesting, there must be title, captions, soundtracks, transitions, etc, but I noticed however well I authored the DVDs, anything more than 15min would make viewers lose interest. So I quit vids and focused on still images.

 

Now I appreciate how creative those professionals are and how much effort they put into their documentaries, as shown on Discovery or NGEO.

I should kick myself in the foot for offering to Capt Nik to become photo volunteer and then when the window of opportunity opens, I'm not being prepared at all.

 

However you've motivated me to prepare for future opportunity. Hopefully in 2008 when I'm making a career change. Anyway, thanks Capt for the invitation here and sorry again for not being up for the challenge.
