AirVenture 2011 - The World's Greatest Airshow

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2011 honoring 100 Years of Naval Aviation

This is a compilation of clips from AirVenture 2011 set to "Starlight" by Muse.

My dad and I flew into Fond Du Lac on Saturday before the show opened, camped just outside the main gate, and left on the last day of the show. (9 days). This video was shot using a Panasonic TM900. I recorded hours of video and hundreds of clips.

Ok I have a request:

Please, Please, Please, if at all possible:

Could you .zip or .rar or whatever up this video and upload it to something like mongofiles mediafire megaupload or whatever so that we could download and view the original file..... or even upload it to vimeo and enable download. I would really love to see this file in original and pristine format ;)

[MrSerious0]

@sham8723 I'll see what I can do. I don't have a Vimeo Pro account so I'd have to compress it to 500MB... The original file is 1.75GB. The original quality is so much better than on YouTube. I'd like to share it!

I see that you shot this with a TM900. I was also at OSH with the same camera. I had some trouble with the focus "hunting" when shooting airborne planes, especially if they were at a distance.

Did you do anything special to avoid this? I eventually started using manual focus and the smallest aperture I could dial in to gain some depth of field. Haven't had a chance to review all the footage yet, so I hope it was at least modestly successful.

Nice job!  Enjoyed watching some of what I missed.

[MrSerious0]

@mjkobb Yes, I had this happen also. I usually just zoomed all the way out and let it focus on basically anything, before zooming back in. I also had some problems with it making very small focus adjustments, when it shouldn't, that are only visible when watching in full screen 1080p... I cut almost all of those out for this video, I didn't find a solution to that because I didn't notice it until I got back from the trip.

Great video! My dad and I were there as well. Loved last year's video too. Can you enable it for mobile viewing? I'd like to be able to play it for people from my tablet.

[MrSerious0]

@blawrence42 Thanks! Well unfortunately YouTube has the mobile version disabled, apparently due to copyright issues with the song. It's out of my hands unfortunately...

[MasterAfresh]

Looking forward to #OSH12!

@sham8723 Try DownloadHelper plug-In for firefox. You can download everything whats on youtube! =)

Can someone tell me what the song is called, I know the artist is Moby but I am 100% sure that it's not called Starlight, I've searched through his whole Discography and it's not listed under that name, if anyone could help I would be grateful.
