SILVER FALCONS CLIPS

  • PER ASPERA AD ASTRA

    Designed to inspire young people wanting to join the South African Air Force. Dreams are achievable, as evidenced by every one of the 96 Pilots who have been selected to fly for the Silver Falcons. Footage from Swartkops and Rand Airshow weekend. All on-board footage filmed with a "GoPro HD"

  • A SILVER SUMMER

    Its April 2012 and already Winter is making its way to the West Coast of South Africa. This video is a tribute to the past few months and something to remember Summer by through the long, dark, Winter...
    The footage focuses on the first few elements of the current display sequence for the chorus, with warm summery visuals making up the rest. I tried a lot of new "tricks" for this one and spent a good couple of hours putting it together, so please enjoy.
    As always there are many people who contributed footage and in particular I have to say a huge thank you to Hilton Mundy and Dennis Luck, who provided most of the outside footage, and Brian Emmenis of Capital Sounds who lent us his GoPro HD Hero2 for the on-board footage from the Wings and Wheels Airshow.
    To all the people who support the Silver Falcons, Thank you - it is appreciated!
    All on-board footage shot with a GoPro HD Hero or Hero2

  • PIECES OF SILVER

    I had actually hoped to have this video finished in time for the 44th anniversary of the Silver Falcons 1st Display on 24 November 1967, but thanks to trying to learn new software it just didn't work out...
    Still not totally happy with the end product, especially the animated sequences, but I'm learning as I go and hopefully will have some more impressive looking effects in the videos to come. 
    This video also marks the last of the videos made during the Team 71 era so I'd like to dedicate it to all the Aircrew, Support Crew, Family, Friends and Fans that have supported us throughout the last year and we are looking forward to an exciting 2012! All on-board footage filmed with a "GoPro HD"

  • SILVER LINING

    I have always thought this song would be awesome for a flying video, so I decided to put something together just as an excuse to use it. I also used the opportunity to give some exposure to some of the companies that have helped us out over the years. Enjoy. All on-board footage filmed with a "GoPro HD"

  • MYKONOS REGATTA 2012

    A very simple composition, all shot during a flypast and solo display at the Club Mykonos Off-Shore Regatta 2012, in Langebaan South Africa. The West Coast of South Africa is such a beautiful part of the country and we have the privilege of being based here and flying the skies over this amazing landscape. All footage shot with GoPro HD Hero. Soundtrack - Paradise by Coldplay, off the Mylo Xyloto Album.

  • THE 3 SHIP

    This is the counterpart, or sequel, to the "Synchro Pair" movie. Once again, the idea was to show a specific maneuver from as many different perspectives as possible (including the briefing!) But when I started I realised that it was going to be really, really long, so I decided to focus on the 2-ship and 3-ship part of the show. "Synchro Pair" was the first and this one had been in the making since then - about 6 months! As a result this is also still a "Team 71" movie as almost all of the clips used are of that team. As always, I already had the song in mind before adding any of the clips, but luckily "New Divide" by Linkin Park (sort-of) lent itself to the whole "splitting" idea. All the on-board footage is shot on a GoPro HD Hero and there is even some footage shot on a Hero 2 (big thanks to Brian Emmenis and Capital Sounds for that!) External footage courtesy of many people including (in no particular order): My Dad, Hilton Mundy and ShortFinal.TV, Ryno Potgieter, F/Sgt Darius van Niekerk and I'm sure there are many more...sorry if you see your footage and I didn't credit you - Thanks anyway! Also, a big thank you to everyone for watching these videos and supporting the South African Air Force and the Silver Falcons, and for those of you who are watching and dreaming... Go out and make that dream a reality!!

  • SYNCHRO PAIR

    Trying something different. Had the idea to show the sequence from a number of different perspectives for the same maneuver. It started to become a bit long so I reduced it to just the 2-ship portion of the show.
