Somewhere over the Pacific…

Airborne Images spent the day ‘Feet Wet’ over the Pacific Ocean today shooting HD footage of the US Navy’s Guided Missile Cruiser, USS Bunker Hill.  We worked with Air Center Helicopters from Fort Worth, TX using one of their off-shore equipped Bell 407s.  The pilot was Shannon Burton and the Aerial DP was Carston Bell with Aaron along as self-loading cargo and still photographer.  We can’t tell you much about the Bunker Hill’s capabilities, but it goes very fast and is VERY agile for a 567 foot vessel.  We used the Cineflex V14HD and recorded to a Sony XDCam deck.  The first photo is the the helicopter’s view of a flank speed starboard turn.  The second is of Carston on the deck at Camarillo Airport after the completion of the mission.  The third photo shows pilot Shannon Burton trying to look serious while doing some of his incredible close proximity flying.  It was a very successful day.
