33. The Joker and the Thief - Hang Gliding at Torrey Pines
2 years ago
Owen Morse chases world top ten pilot Dustin Martin around the bluffs of Torrey Pines.

Dustin was flying a Wills Wing T2C 144 development prototype, while Owen pursued him in his #2 wing, a Wills Wing Talon 150 (Owen's T2C was not readily available, due to the short notice of the day's plans).

The camera on Owen's keel was a Panasonic HDC-SD1 with a (somewhat dirty) wide angle adapter. I got a few ground shots with my other Panasonic, a HDC-SD5.

I kept a few shots in sequence longer than I normally would have for two reasons: to show how fast and/or low Dustin got, as well as to show how skilled Owen was at keeping Dustin in frame. It's hard enough to follow a world class pilot on a top of the line wing *without* trying to point a video camera only by shifting your weight.

    Totally off the hook. Great flying and the video editing and music was fabu. Dustin makes it look effortless to drop to the deck and just wooosh back up above the bluffs!! Dang.
