Or do you prefer old style in scratchy B & W?

Hi Tim, this footage was filmed using a HI DEF camera, but you will need a more powerful computer to see the difference. Click on the link above.ROBIN.

G'day Robin
Great work on the video.
What camera did you use for the closeups and how did you mount it?
Where did you get the figures that move from?
Keep up the good work
Tim

Awesome Robin! Like the animatronic figures! Great quality video. Thanks for sharing it. Thats a great looking tank playground where you filmed it too.

Any Panther video's out there?

Robin,
Can I ask what software you did the video editing with? Great job with the music and sounds. Also what format is the video? I'm not familiar with a .flv type file? Plays great though.
Thanks, Bob

Tim, the camera belongs to my son who did the filming. He uses a CANON HV20. For the POV from the barrel, I used a BENK WSA-056 Ball Head mount clip, which is only Â£10 here in the UK. The moving crew are from my fellow work mate Vincent Abbott, he was the first person to make these animatronic figures move. At the present he is not producing them, how ever ther are now several other companies doing a similar thing.i.e. Armorpax.
Robert, the editing software is SONY VEGAS MOVIE STUDIO PLATINUM. I am not sure about the format, I shall have ask my son.

P.S. this still was taken by the same HI DEF HV 20 video camera.

Robin,

Execellent film I really liked the scratchy B&W.

Hi guys, here is another version with added special FX. Not as clear as the first two because it has been compressed and e- mailed to me. However, I will post a HI DEF varient later. Thanks for your patience.

G'day Robin
Thanks for the reply on the camera and the mounting bracket.
Also the advise on the figures.
Film looks even better with effects in it did you use Adobe aftereffects?
Great Work on film and tank
