    In this video a APACHE helicopter had to make an emergency landing, and I remember years ago when I was on leave, and I took leave to go home and me and a friend of mine,went to the big island and we were high in the volcanoes, and everything was black,we could hear a helicopter over our heads,and we saw a helicopter flying over us,but I wasn't afraid, because I was active Military, and all I had to do was show my military ID. Active service.

    Excellent build! The precision and details are amazing! We work with 3/4" U-Matic videotape and capture it to a digital format. You can see our work on our East End Productions Archive channel. I just came into possession of some incredible 16mm film from the early 60s through 70s. I am driven by a personal and historical responsibility to make sure this footage is digitized in the highest quality possible. Initially, I will do a simple projector to video camera capture. Once I get that done, I plan on modifying the projector into a single frame capture device. Your use of stepper motors is inspiring. If I can get a robust motor to drive the film gate effectively, I should be able to build a LED light source and Macro lens system for the digital workflow. Your videos have been very informative and inspiring. I wish I had access to a machine such as yours, but I got some good ideas from you to possibly build what I need. Thank you for an outstanding series!

Definitely not around an Embassy or something, so must be just German family putting out the more official flag there, or a small town celebrating their German Heritage etc.

I've been in both the pilot and gunners seats of an Apache. Been in a Cobra. Both seats as well. Didn't get picked for the Blackhawk flight...but I've been inside of one those too!❤ Been in Huey. Been in a 58. These were formative years! I love our miliary! I love my pops for serving 34yrs. I love that he served 2 tours in Vietnam and came back mostly clear in his head. He's a strong man! Talked about it seldom when i was growing up. But I got it. He did his duty!❤ Pops went to the sandbox for Desert Storm. Yep! Served in 2 wars. He's not quite the man he used to be. But God Almighty I Love and Respect My Father So Much!!!❤

      There are really 2 camera requirements besides the correct macro lens - the camera needs to have a remote trigger port, and should have the option of taking vhe picture with an electronic shutter rather than the standard mechanical one. You'd have to check this, as I'm not familiar with the G3.

    I plan on getting a Canon 814XL-S converted to crystal sync 24 fps. It’s probably my best option outside of getting broke buying one of these with a crystal motor.

    • @FreshGroundPictures
      @FreshGroundPictures 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If you go with 16mm, you could get an Eclair camera - the NPR and ACL may be more affordable and are usually equipped with crystal motors. I actually shot a film years ago with the Canon 814XL-S when Kodak still made sound film. It was a good cheap alternative and the magnetic stripe was an easy way to get sync sound without crystal. The 814 is a good camera, but it's pretty loud indoors - the Eclair cameras, if working properly, are quieter. When I used the 814, I constructed a homemade blimp which helped a little. On the plus side, Super 8 is a lot cheaper than 16mm.
