This coming Friday (the 9th) I’ll be in Blackpool, UK.
Discovery Channel has hired me to do some aerial work for their new series “PYROS”, which is a show about a professional pyrotechnics team that travels the globe to compete in the biggest firework shows.
I’ll be filming the crew as they set up, some general B-role of the area, the crowd and the final fireworks display.
I would love to have someone helping me out a little, assisting me as a spotter and as an extra pair of hands when they are needed. Would be great to have someone to talk a little RC with as well between the shots.
Anyone interested?
First I should say thanks you David for sharing so generously all your knowledge and passion with us. I discovered you on the flitetest youtube channel and came digging in your old blog entries for more 🙂
I was curious to see your work on the firework filming and search a bit: Blackpool is in the first part of season 1 episode 7 of the Discovery show.
Knowing that, it is easy to find it on youtube but quality is generally quite bad.
For those interested, the best video quality I found is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xOb5rdx4iI but it is dubbed in russian (I guess).
There is a couple of day light shoot at 3:08, 3:33 and 6:52 and night shoots (plus a lot of typical discovery dramatization) between 11:10 and 16:00.
