Commercial Video Shoot

[Anthony Cooper]

I’m shooting a commercial in the Sonoma area scheduled for Friday Dec 5th and I need help with a couple of things. 

1. I need photos of what your rocketry work bench looks like. I am interested in the tools you have on your bench.
2. I need aerial footage from a rocket. Snow Ranch would be great. I may want to use the rocket on Dec 5th also. I only want it to fly to about 1,000’.
3. I need to borrow 18 TARC/ARC style rockets as props. They do not need to be in flying condition. They just need to look flyable on a launch pad. They do not have be TARC/ARC legal, but they need to be about the correct size. I should be able to return them at our next launch. All need to use 1010 rail buttons.
4. I need about 10 extras actors for fill the background of a video that could be competitors in a TARC/ARC like competition.

Hey Tony,

I can have my dad drop off a few TARC rockets at your house. I have a lot of them from pass years.

Best Regards,

Andrew Truong

Sorry I used the wrong email address!

[Andrew Truong]

I have 3 complete TARC rockets and 1 bottom stage.

[Anthony Cooper]

Thanks. I know we talked, but this way everyone else knows it too.

Follow up on the status. 

1. I need photos of your rocketry workbench. I am interested in the tools you have on your bench.
   I have no photos. Fortunately this is not a deal breaker.
2. I need aerial footage from a rocket. Snow Ranch would be great. I may also want to use the rocket on Dec 5th also. I only want it to fly to about 1,000’.
   No takers on this. The production crew might rig a GoPro to a rocket.
3. I need to borrow 18 TARC/ARC style rockets as props. They do not need to be in flying condition. They just need to look flyable on a launch pad. They do not have be TARC/ARC legal, but they need to be about the correct size. I should be able to return them at our next launch. All must use 1010 rail buttons.
   I got a total of 4 rockets so far. 
4. I need about 10 extra actors to fill the background of a video, portraying competitors in a TARC/ARC-like competition.
   I know this will be difficult because the shoot is scheduled for a Friday. So far 4 adults have stepped up.

This is from Snow Ranch. It's a large rocket but if we can get permission to fly an H or I we can get to around 1,200".

Tony,

 

Here are some Facebook links to some of my on-board videos from Snow Ranch.  You should be able to download any you like.

The quality may not be great for broadcast as FB compresses stuff.  The 3 oldest are 1000ft-ish flights.  The others=probably higher.

Hey Tony, 

Here's my work benches, the garage one is pretty much always a bit of a mess..

I have a few boxes of some donated rocket stuff in my garage that I've been trying to figure out getting out of my garage... BUT, in some of those boxes are several old rockets from when it was called TARC. Pretty sure none are flyable, and might not look fantastic for a closeup picture, but I'll try and get them out of the boxes at some point today and send some pictures of them and see how many there are.

Thanks,

Are we competing for the messiest shop?  :) 

I may not be at the field as much but...you couldn't tell from my shop.  Yeah, I often employ AI but even AI can't make this much of a mess. 

BUT - I can find stuff when I need to. :)

Tony, thanks for putting me in touch with the production company.

They came by last weekend and took photos of the stuff in my garage.

I will be building their flying model(s) for the Dec 5th shoot, as well as an “in-progress” build of the same.

I am also currently planning to be there on the 5th for the shoot. 

I have old, low-rez ish aerial footage from my crayon and my level 1 flight kicking around somewhere, if still wanted.

Hi all,

I hope I have managed to get access to post at the LUNAR General discussion email.

re Anthony's post for the video shoot, I am sending pics of my shop.

Anthony, I have some background in video shoots and production. I may be able to help on the 5th.

I used to do more video and I still have my RED Mysterium camera and lots of support equipment.

Let me know if you can use an assistant DP.

My shop:

My semi-autonomous Jupiter 2 EDF powered drone is there on the bench.  I know it's not a rocket but...  :)

I am enjoying seeing others workplaces.
