When I heard the Shuttle Endeavour was going to fly-over my favorite Bridge yesterday I decided to head down and see it myself and capture it on video. Here's the end result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0ziN-vr ... e=youtu.be

A compilation of short video clips I captured as the Shuttle Endeavor made it's fly-over the SF Bay Area this morning... it first came from the North and then looped over the East Bay and back across and over the Golden Gate Bridge out towards sea. Then headed south... beautiful morning, great sight shared with so many folks. I had seen photos of the shuttle but there was something almost magical to see it myself riding on the back of that jumbo jet.

As you can see in the video I barely got my camera set-up again to capture the shuttle as it came back over the Bridge. Me and most of the others gathered to see the event were leaving the view point)... I heard someone say it's coming back around. So I quickly reset my camera on the tripod and got the video rolling just as it came back over the bridge - whew :)

Shot on my Canon XH-A1 and edited on my Casablanca S4000PRO (quick assembly with crossfades, processed with Black Border and Movie Mode to de-interlace) before exporting via Media Manager in YouTube HD setting (found under the YouTube folder in the Media Manager Expert Device Manager).

Regards,
Chet

Nice Chet. I was sorry to see the end of the Shuttle era.

Saw your clip, gave it a thumbs up. Nice stuff. Do you sell archive footage too?

Made a comment about always having a cam with charged battery close by... just never know when a cam is going to come in handy.

I have a PD100a always ready to go (in the car). With a DSR 150 and DSR 300 also ready in my studio. Wish they were HD not SD (DVcam), but have to say, I have recorded some pretty awesome footage over the years...

By the way, have not taken you up on your suggestions/recommendations on how to convert my father-in-law's box of 1920-1960 photos to BluRay... Won't get to them to see them till November (when I go south to Florida). Thanks.
