Video [vintage-and-warbirds] THE FLYING LESSON

The Flying Lesson is an ambitious action/drama short film involving air-to-air stunt sequences with a vintage WWII Tiger Moth bi-plane.
After the recent death of her grandfather, Phoebe Sanderson (Jessica Blake) takes a flying lesson in the exact plane her grandfather flew in WWII, a recently restored Tiger Moth. With a sense of trepidation, she takes flight with a promise to keep. Only a chauvinistic flying instructor (Richard J. Fletcher) with a secret stands in her way...

The Flying Lesson is an ambitious action/drama short film involving air-to-air stunt sequences with a vintage WWII Tiger Moth bi-plane.

After the recent death of her grandfather, Phoebe Sanderson (Jessica Blake) takes a flying lesson in the exact plane her grandfather flew in WWII, a recently restored Tiger Moth. With a sense of trepidation, she takes flight with a promise to keep. Only a chauvinistic flying instructor (Richard J. Fletcher) with a secret stands in her way...

The film was shot over 5 days mainly on a Canon C300 with some aerial unit footage shot on the Red and even a 5D Mark II. I became involved when Adrian Alexander (owner and stunt pilot of "Huffy The Tiger Moth") got in touch with a script from a new writer (Ian Bishop) and had already teamed up with James Oldham, an aspiring director of photography. After a few rewrites of the script to move it more into a story based short and away from previous drafts which were more stunt based, I came onboard as director and produced the short through my company The Philm Company in association with Frantic Film and Motley Flying Productions.

The film was edited by Alex Macleod using Adobe Premiere which, because of our mixed camera formats, worked brilliantly. The original score was composed by Richard Bodgers including our own arrangement of classical piece "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" which was an ambitious feat in itself!

We really wanted to create a short film that would 'raise the bar' of what is possible on a low budget with a team of talented, ambitious, like-minded folks. I'd never shot with aeroplanes or stunts before so I loved the challenge and also really pushed to try and create an cinematic short film. I must point out that this short has received no external/public funding and was shot on a very limited budget. It may not look it, but I guess that's the point! My heartfelt thanks to the talented cast, crew, pilots and facilities companies who made this short possible. We really couldn't have made it without you all. There are too many people to thank here but every single person in the credits (please watch!) were integral to creating this film. You can see a behind the scenes video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK28eWRLN5Q

Please do share so we can show out film to as many people as possible and post your comments below.

We hope that you enjoy it.

MAM to sell off collection

In mid-June, a spokesman for The Military Aviation Museum (MAM) at Virginia Beach told Aeroplane that the 70+ First and Second World War aircraft in its collection are up for sale, and the museum will shut up shop later this year. This shock development came just a month after the MAM's de Havilland Mosquito FB.26, KA114, made its American debut at the MAM's Warbirds Over the Beach show, following its arrival from New Zealand (see Aeroplane, December 2012).
Sadly, inclement weather over the May 17-18 weekend led to a severely truncated flying programme at the Warbirds Over the Beach show, but the Mosquito flew from the MAM's grass strip on May 16 in front of enthusiasts from all over the world, who had travelled to Virginia for this very special occasion.

La PATROUILLE DE FRANCE comme vous ne l'avez jamais vue. Un film de Eric MAGNAN, produit par François-Olivier ROBIN & Eric MAGNAN - AIRBORNE FILMS

« PATROUILLE DE FRANCE », c’est l’histoire d’une passion et d’une fidélité. Le réalisateur, pilote et esthète Eric Magnan à qui l’on doit notamment les très remarquées séquences aériennes du long-métrage Les Chevaliers du Ciel, a déjà filmé ce corps d’élite et les pilotes ont trouvé tout naturel qu’il réalise le film événement à l’occasion du 60ème anniversaire de la Patrouille de France.

Le Soir : L’aéroport de Bruxelles s’entoure d’un nouveau mur de sécurité

L’aéroport de Bruxelles a entrepris de construire un mur de près de trois mètres de haut et long de plusieurs centaines de mètres sur son périmètre sud, sans doute à la suite du spectaculaire vol de diamants commis le 18 février dernier, a constaté l’agence BELGA.

Le Soir : Le "Connector", le prochain nouveau bâtiment de Brussels Airport

Le bâtiment, d'une longueur de 200 mètres et d'une superficie totale de 32.850 m², sera utilisé par tous les passagers partant de Brussels Airport. Il fera la jonction entre le hall de départ et la jetée A.
