| It flew! We went over
to Mill
Hill, just north of Shoreham, today to meet Grahame and see if we could
get some useable stereoscopic footage. Everything went to plan and we have
footage that'll look great stereoscopically. Click here
for a very short, rough 2D edit from today's flying. |

| The glider is built!
You can watch "The Making of 'Take Wing' (part one)" here.
The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that it's a radio controlled glider
rather than free flight as we were first planning. This is because after
actually listening to the advice of lots of people who knew what they were
talking about we realised a free flight glider simply wouldn't fly with
the extra weight and unbalancing effect of adding a couple of cameras. As
we've never flown a radio controlled plane either the chances are the flight
will still end in disaster. |

| After a few delays we
started on the glider build for 'Take Wing' today. Unfortunately we noticed
another small problem when we started to film, the cameras we're using for
the point of view stereoscopic timelapse of the build (see Brian wearing
it here)
are too far apart. The model assembly work is quite intricate so we're holding
things nearer to the cameras than we anticipated. Therefore we need to rebuild
the apparatus with the two cameras closer together. So I'm now the proud
owner of a shiny new bicycle helmet which we'll be gaffer taping and cable
tying some cameras to tomorrow. |
| We've
been getting invaluable assistance and advice from Grahame
Algar, an experienced model aircraft pilot. (Thanks to my friend James
in Miami, genial host of this site, for putting us in contact.) Over the
weekend he made up a bracket with two pretend cameras and performed a test
flight with his glider to optimise our chances of getting a successful flight.
It seems that it will fly, so we just need to get on with it all now and
wait for the right weather conditions... |
