Skydiving with a GoPro
Posted by Alex
Betty Wants In crafted this very unique skydiving video using a GoPro. It’s exceptionally peaceful; it makes skydivers look more like they’re floating gracefully underwater as opposed to plummeting through the windy stratosphere on their way toward terminal-velocity.
I’ve never used a GoPro, or gone skydiving for that matter, and now I really want to experience both. Mission accomplished Melbourne Skydive Centre.

April 22, 2011 at 1:49 amQuite interested to know how was it possible to achieve the super-slow-mo with the gopro? 30fps at 1080p or 60fps at 720p. This looks more like 500fps. Know anything?

April 22, 2011 at 7:14 amThey’re using tweening.
If you look closely, you can see that the actual playback FPS in the slow motion scenes is only around 2 or 3.

April 22, 2011 at 11:00 amSkydiving is a total thrill and I recommend it you do it at least once. Its a pretty surreal experience, much like this video. The video is beautiful btw. nice choice of music too.

April 22, 2011 at 10:22 pmThat wasn’t human flight, that was “falling with style” lol

April 25, 2011 at 2:51 amI think this was edited with twixtor, extreme slomo plugin for fcp and
After effects, works VERY good!
