David,
This is just is what i thought. The mics are new so there’s not a lot of info in yet. I was wondering, to audio pros, if it may end up being like photographers giving up film for digital. I’m a vidoegrapher looking to improve my audio but i’m not looking to add additional gear if I don’t have to. I often do projects just as you mentioned, mobile interview type things. The thought of just having a single mic(and laptop)and not having to use or carry a mixer is intriguing. I guess tweaking the sound would be left up to the quality of the audio software.

Ron,
I’d like to have an overhead view of Chattanooga, Tennessee. I can get really nice shots from the surrounding mountains. The shot I need tough is more or less straight down over the building cluster and road system through the city. I just thought it would surely be on a postcard at one of the local souvenir shops. From info learned here though, I’ve scraped the thought. Think some stock photo house may have one?

Yes JK,
That helps much better than, no. Given the info on the card I would then seek permission to use the image. I need a picture(overhead view from the air) of this mid-size city i’m in. I’ll try a stock photo house to see if they have one I could buy. By the way is there a particular source you might suggest. I’m Goggling now.
Thanks much

No what?

Wow Ron,
This is getting way to complicated. This is a local project that has the potential to go national. I’m in a midsize city with a modest skyline. I want to us this cities skyline otherwise i could generate a model city in 3D studio and avoid any conflicts. What i hear you say is even the pictures I take from the street of buildings may be illegal. Is there a central clearing house for getting these type of things legal, instead of taking pictures of twenty building then checking for approval from each one…whew.

Ok Mike, I thought so. That’s why I asked. I can shoot all the pictures i need, for this project, from the ground, no problem. I wanted to use a series of photographs starting from the sky and dropping down progressively. The shot i need to start would come from a helicopter or plane. It is imperative that everything in my work be original and legal so since i don’t have a plane…I’ll have to be more creative.
Thanks for the response

Hi Serge,
Thanks for the response. I looked further down the posts and found some info that got me on the right track. I also found out that Animator apparently doesn’t like gray scale graphics. Every time I tried to put a photo(gray scale) on a plane it never mapped right. When I took it to RGB in Photoshop, it mapped perfectly. Wonder why that is?

Ok Ed thanks, I’ll go to your site and post.

sounds like just the trick. a little Vegas slow mo and possibly a touch of blur and this method could have the impact i imagined. i visited the link…very nice work there. thanks again for the heads up. i’ll let you know how it comes out.
