On 3/8/10, John Francis, discombobulated, unleashed: >That's probably from a Biggin Hill air show. My memory tells me that >as well as the Lanc & Hurricane there were also a couple of other >Merlin engines in the formation - a Spitfire and a Mustang.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) had a Lancaster, a Spitfire and a Hurricane displaying at Farnborough at various points the other week. The TV news prog I was working for transmits at 6pm, and we did a live segment into the show about 6.20 where the weatherman does a chat and a bit of colour before they run a pre-recorded weather forecast. The live chat was with the Vulcan pilot - just as the BBMF were in full display above. We could hear them but not see them as the subject of the live segment was the Vulcan and the pilot. While my shot was on the pilot talking about his heroics in the sky, they ran underlay shots of the Vulcan flying that I had done earlier in the day. I can't see this of course, but I can hear the gallery in my earpiece: "...on Ulay.......back on you...." We finished up and came off air. Later when I got home I checked the recording on my domestic TV recorder - I like to catch up sometimes with complicated lives etc - and watched our live segment. The intro into the weatherman under the Vulcan wing looked great, he chats about the Vulcan, mentions the noisy display going on, we walked over to the pilot, chat, it cuts to a shot of a Vulcan banking around filling the frame - lovely shot ;-) but they didn't fade up the sound of the Vulcan, so as it banked around - the accompanying sound was that live over the pilot's interview: a Lancaster bomber - in perfect and harmonious sync with the Vulcan shot. It was actually uncanny. I couldn't have gotten a better audio match to pictures if I'd tried. There would have been one or two very confused viewers there.... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
