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.

Quite 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?

BettyWantsIn says in the video’s comments: “Yes all footage was shot on a gopro and slowed down with twixtor. We cant wait to see what people can do with this duo in the near future..”

They’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.

Skydiving 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.

The other day when I found this video, I just so happened to be listening to Adrift. It is a more coherent pairing of music than what they chose.

I think this was edited with twixtor, extreme slomo plugin for fcp and
After effects, works VERY good!
