Today something happened and it was video taped and I just can not watch it enough. Today history was made when Fleix Baumgartner jumped from space to free fall to earth.
If you saw the 2009 Star Trek movie you will recall a scene where a young Kirk and his team mates jump from space to free fall onto a platform. Baumgartner opened the door to the future today. I have watched the promotional video that was made before the jump and the video made of the jump. Both are very moving. If you want to know how to make great videos then use these as your template. The visuals, the camera movement, the interviews, and the music are just spot on. The fact that what we are seeing is part of lives and our history in the making gives the video even more emotion. It even gets better. Mission control for this project is in Roswell, New Mexico where it is believed to be the site of an alien crash in the 1950's. The reason Roswell was chosen for the mission is due to the great weather. All of the videos for this project have a great combination of cut-a-ways, long, medium, and CU shots that are very well timed with soaring, gliding, epic music. I would love to have one of those capsules that is used to take Baumgartner up to 71,580 feet above the Earth. But jumping out is not in my contract. I will be getting in shape for looking sexy in my pressure suit.
