HD Trailer - Michigan Daylight Series: SP 4449 at Trainfest 2009

This video is a trailer for a short series of videos covering the SP Daylight #4449 pulling two day long excursion trains from Owosso, Michigan to Alma, Michigan on July 23rd-24th during Trainfest 2009. Be sure to watch all three videos in the series when you're done watching the trailer. If you enjoy what you see, please subscribe!

All this footage was shot with the small Ultra HD Flip camera. The three-part series incorporates run-by footage taken from a Sony PMW-EX3 and Panasonic PV-GS39. The video also includes on-board train shots from inside the NYC-3 New York Central private observation office car. This event was particularly special for me because it was the 25th anniversary of my father's and my ride behind 4449 since we rode it together in 1984 on the Louisiana World's Fair Daylight. I was six years old at the time. This time I treated him to a fabulous ride behind "the most beautiful train in the world." Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, and Brent Johnson, Kevin Marcus and Digital Film Studios, Sun Valley, CA.

Again, please be sure to my the full-length three part series of Trainfest videos when you're finished watching this. Thanks and enjoy!

are those the raw videos off of the ultra hd or did you edit them in any way . Im looking into buying one of these and this is good enough to convince me

[chjett]

The quality of the video here is exactly what the HD Flip captures, but, yes, these shots are edited together. The footage, however, other than editing on the computer, has not been altered in any way. I highly recommend the HD Flip.

Also, check out my recent Santa Fe #3751 chase video I shot. All seven runbys were shot with the Ultra HD Flip.

Wow, This was on a "Flip Camera"?. You got a link to the website? I might get me one.

[chjett]

Yes. All these shots were taken with a tiny Ultra HD Flip camera. Go to Google and type in Ultra HD Flip. Go to the first site which should be theflip. com.

Sorry to delay the upload of the three-part series showcasing the event, but I'm negotiating selling some or all of the footage to a production company. I'll edit together whatever isn't used once the deal is complete.

[chjett]

Hopefully I won't have to remove this trailer from Youtube if they want some of this footage...

That whistle is really deep sounding. Wished I could have been there. Maybe next time.

ive noticed a change on the 4449.it no longer uses the dual lamp mars light that was originaly installed way back in 1941. its now a single lamp reflector.

[jet79637]

5 stars for the film quality alone

[koopakid182]
