SKYDIVING VIDEO
The biggest cause of
less than happy first time skydivers is when we run out of
camera guys for those who didn't schedule video ahead
and realized too late how desperately they wanted video or
pictures till it was too late to add it at the last minute. New! Recent
Tandem Skydiving Photo and Video Section. Click to see some of the
most recent work of our proud Vidiots! Don't
forget to schedule your camera guy for the jump! Quality,
skilled camera flyers are hard to come by.
Your skydive will probably be the most
exciting 60 seconds of your life. Capturing it on video is a great way
to make the ride last even longer.
Skydive Orange, Inc. is proud to
offer a fine staff of videographers who are dedicated to quality
freefall photography and making your skydive a ride you'll never
forget, documented with sky diving pictures.
Between the 4 senior video guys at Orange, we have about 6500 jumps
and about 25 years in the sport!

with
Tandem instructor Mike
French, June 15, 2008, (right). Right- actual
jumps starts at 5:00. These darn video guys stretch out the pre-jump
intro...:
Search "skydive orange" on YouTube for many more
videos taken by our proud team of Skydive
Orange vidiots. We throw a small drogue parachute right
after exit for all tandem freefalls in order to compensate for the fact
that there are two people one on top of the other so you, the passenger,
feel like you are alone in freefall. Tandem instructors carefully check
the position of their handles in freefall. This'll
take quite a while to download with slow dial up connections. ...or here to

Still Skydiving
Pictures are nice since they don't require any
hardware to show your friends once you get them printed. Video your AFF and tandem jumps for learning purposes. Bring a favorite CD or choose from our vast library of CD's, for editing by some of the best freefall videographers in the country!
Videos run 6 -9 minutes. If you are getting you
jump videoed, we usual edit it and have it ready for you the same day. If
we are too busy, we might have to mail it to you instead, but usually we
finish them if you don't mind waiting a bit.
If you have a digital camera, we
can usually firewire the raw footage to you instead of editing at no extra
charge, or we can put it on your own digital tape and give you the
unedited footage on tape if you rather.
Price
per person. You get what you pay for when you have your
skydive videoed or photos taken. We've seen other skydiving
places' videos and quality varies widely. Ours are the best.

training progression- $45**
AFF's and coached jumps for those who want just their freefall videotaped,
abbreviated editing, must be
a current student in the program to get this price. This price is
subject to availability when we are not otherwise booked up with full
price video customers.
Additional discounts on video and photographs are available for USPA license holders and teams.
**Price is per person, of course. Cash discounted prices

VIDEO, PHOTO and music FAQ's
Can we get one video for our whole
group?
No, because a freefall camera flyer cannot be in more than one place at the same time
- tandems are as much as a
quarter mile apart in freefall, so each person must still get their own
video.
Can I bring my own camera on my skydive?
No, it would get in the way. Here
is a more detailed
answer.
Can I bring my own Music?
Yes, if the Videographer/Editor has available time depending on the schedule of the day (even busier on the weekends).
We need 3 songs IN ORDER on a CD or MP3 player
1. Intro - Medium Upbeat
2. Freefall - Full on
3. Ending - Slower
Also, songs need to kick-in within the first 10 seconds, and we only use the first 1 to 2 minutes of a song.
What Format is The DVD?
It is a DVD-R Disc, which will play in any modern DVD player, even the cheap $40 players. If you put the DVD into a computer DVD Drive, like any normal commercial DVD, it will play in your DVD software player, or if you EXPLORE the DVD, in the VIDEO_TS folder, it will show file names with the extension name .VOB
How do I put my video online or email the video to friends? Method One
The File .VOB can be imported, converted and exported to any video compressed format using video editing software.
Method Two
Connect a Camcorder to the output of your DVD player, and record to the camcorder's digital media;
i.e., Memory Stick (MS) or Compact Flash (CF) Card, or SD Card. Check your camcorder manual for details.
When will my Video/Pictures be Ready?
Usually 15-45 minutes after you land. It also depends if the videographer has to do multiple jumps. On rare occasions, if we are too busy, we might mail it to you in a few days.
Videographers Top Tip!
Wear something colorful if its summertime, your video and pictures will be more vivid against the blue, grey, and white skies.
Don't wear grey!
