RE: [Aus-soaring] Wicket Cam for Gliding Movie

[skf1]

Guys and Gals, � It sounds like some of us have had similar thoughts, and some have done some research, great feedback.�   Some of the material I have seen on Fox recently does not seem to have huge budgets, however they have been very well put together. I am not talking in terms of a 10 minutes of footage supported by background music. The one I watched yesterday was a � hour show on 3 English guy’s paragliding in South Africa. It was a short story about a dream, the plan and the execution, the highs and lows of the trip, it was interesting. ���   Did I read into one reply that a similar idea has been submitted to the GFA management committee and it never came out the other side? From what I have seen of the GFA’s gliding promotions program is that it is constrained by old fashion thinking and/or a lack of budget, and some clubs who are happy where they are, doing what they are doing now. ��   This idea, if it is to get off the ground needs the support of the national body, and may even need some sponsorship. For example, every car seen in the doco is a Ford, Commodore or a Subaru, every GPS is a Garmin, etc. With commentary along the lines of – “Joes retrieve crew easily made their way to his out landing site because of the additional clearance provided � by his Subaru Outback and the dash mounted Garmin GPS used for navigation”.   I know through experience how well the sport of Motor Rally is doing because of media exposure, surly Gliding can learn from this example.   SDF ����   � ������������   �           From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Wade Sent: Friday, 30 July 2004 1:14 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.
