    Your Filming Format

    1. with the camera on a tripod or in a set of very steady hands take shots of the assembled model, well lit, on the table as you pan around it with an off-camera narrative of what the subject is, scale, special features, performance, and maintenance issues.

    2. Same set-up as above. Removing the model's upper hull as your off-camera voice describes the inner workings. Turn on the r/c system and operate it, explaining what does what.

    3. Static shot of the assembled submarine as you explain the pre-mission, mission, and post-mission checks unique to that particular r/c model submarine.

    4. Tracking shot as you turn on the readied model, take it off the table, proceed to the pool/lake, put it into the water and get it underway.

    5. Circle in the pool slowly on the surface

    6. Circle the pool slowly under water

    7. Do a figure of eight on surface

    8. Do a figure of eight under water

    9. Do a static dive & surface (if you can)

    10. Do a rapid dive and surface at speed.

    11, Repeat 9 & 10 filming under water.

    Number nine is a bit tricky for a dynamic diver. Although I suppose one could always tie a lead brick to it, that will result in a rapid static dive- I don't see anything about a rapid surface!

          Excellent video -- you used Mike's recommended format. I appreciate your use of a tripod for the long shots. And your narrative and overlays were informative and not a distraction.

          Good video work describing an excellent conversion.

              Looks like I posted in the wrong place again, sorry Mike. I have started its own thread.
