  • This is not a "video"... this's a great work. The best paragliding short film and promo I ever seen....
    I have no other words to describe it... It's simply fantastic and lovely......

    One question if I can... I'm a paraglider, and I would like so much to fly in that magical place... where is it? Can I?
    Thanks so much for your attention, regards.

    Hi Alessandro - really appreciate the support, glad you love the film. Unfortunately - it was once off we organized special permission - the birds are highly endangered, the actual site in South Africa is closed off for flying due to the conservation status of the birds. Best wishes, Michael

    Really stunning work ARP! Congratulations on such beautiful aerial footage for the once-off flight. Great choice to use the 5D in your cam mix.

    I remember thermaling up just below a gaggle of about twenty black hawks years ago in The Kimberlies of Western Australia which was a memorable experience, however the sheer quantity of these vultures is simply breath taking. Best wishes to the protection project in preventing the demise of yet another animal from this planet.

    Brilliant footage!!!!!!!

    Can someone please explain to me the "dark edges effect" on the lens @ the beginning of the clip? What is it called so that I can Google it or read up on it???
  • Green Renaissance pro 1 year ago
    It is called vignette effect. Thanks for the support. Michael

    There's actually a technique for when there's no thermals to climb with that vultures do as well. They use the turning momentum to push their bodies upwards in small increments. It took a military pilot years in a glider to finally fine-tune the technique lol. These "bad-boys" do it out of pure instinct! This was discovered a while back but it's still cool to know that we aren't always as smart of a species as we like to think we are (at times) :)

    Absolutely stunning work again guys. How many shots with the long lens following the birds didn't turn out. Looks pretty hard to capture from the ground.

    Seriously great work.
