Aerial High-Def Footage of Vancouver
As I mentioned in my last post, Christine Yablonka took a myself, Mark, and Greg flying this morning! I brought along my high definition camera and recorded a whole bunch of stock footage for random things! Below, I have edited it into a really entertaining 5 minute highlight reel of Greater Vancouver from the air!

The camera work was mostly done by myself, but Mark did handle it a fair bit! The music is from an artist named “Hannah Georgas“, and the title is “All I Need”. She surprisingly actually hasn’t been “picked up” yet – And she has a CD release party this coming Thursday… check out their myspace for more details! I’ll be at Jack Johnson so I can’t make it – gah!
For my evening, I went mountain biking with Mark and Greg up Burke mountain! It was awesome… and it was also my second time ever! I did pretty well considering. Later on I also dropped by Spencer‘s backyard band barbque thing which was pretty chill and cool.

That was actually a lot of fun to watch. You covered a lot of area with the segments you put into the video. I really liked the one shot that lasted for a bit there of downtown with the Stadium and everything near the end. I wish I coulda been there (I know there weren’t anymore seats), but still. Well, one day it’ll all be good again. One day.

[...] On Saturday I went flying with Christine Y. in her Cessna. What a cool experience to be only 1500ft. above Vancouver, in a little four seater plane. I really enjoyed the whole experience, and I’m glad that Paul brought up his High-Def camera! Here’s a link to the footage! [...]

Wow cool! I love seeing places and especially aerial footage/photos of Metro Vancouver!
I take it you took off from Pitt Meadows? (where i live).
I like being able to see Vancouver from the air, I always wanted to get my pilot’s license but it isn’t the most financial thing for me to do now. :(

“Could have been better.” What?! Geez, Mark, you’d probably drive an exotic with a supermodel and say “It was alright.” lol.

Right on guys! Really nice footage! You must have shot that on Thursday because I saw myself running through Gastown naked. Yup, naked Thursday – now in high def! But for real, one of my fave spots is the brilliant red roof at 1:37.
Keep up the good footage guys!
