Advertising video for aircraft company

As some of you will know I spent nigh on 30 years photographing aircraft in the air. I recently did some air to air work for a well known Greek aircraft company to advertise their new development and thought you might like to see the amazing technology of their new aircraft, the Icarus 2. Unfortunately the prototype Icarus 1 crashed into the Aegean Sea some time ago due to pilot error.

What fun ....... and just the right music. Beautifully done. I love the proper change of perspective on the wings as they flap!

BUT ....... here's one of those intensely irritating 'easy to say', 'nightmare to do' comments. If you are going to have such a reflective chrome finish the reflections, even though of very distant clouds etc., really need to move.

Time for bed before I dig myself any deeper.

I think this is a windup Mr Bain

So two can play at that game, and here are two dodgy planes:

Thanks David and Michael.

David I take your point about the reflections; I wanted to save time by using a static render for some of the video forgetting about the moving reflections
