Tripods?  Steady video?  Oh, it's more fun to just use handheld/jerking video instead. We all decided to quickly run AWAY from the plane at take-off... like we are all scared to death it's about to blow up.  (Made the computer generated plane easier to fake... without people standing near it.) We "forgot" to mention that only 5% of this is really human-powered... all the rest is just electric motors. We like to video tape it as far away as possible... especially right during the take-off part. (We didn't want you to see when we switched from "live action" to "fake video".  It would have been too obvious.) Also, we "accidentally" had someone walk right in front of the camera, right when we landed so you wouldn't see where we switched from "computer generated"... back to "real video".  Oops!  My fault! We decided to have the guy flap his arms wildly... even though he could have simply just moved his 2 wifi controllers up and down slightly. We thought it was best to show a lot of (stock) footage from the air... rather than keeping the camera on the plane itself.  If you see video from high in the air... that PROVES we are really up there in this machine. We thought it was best to use a heavy 180 pound guy... instead of someone 120 pounds. We felt the extra 60 pounds would be "more fun" that way. We made sure there was no anonying crowd of people watching us when we actually did this. Please do NOT ask to actually see the plane afterwards.  We aren't showing it to anyone. No, we will NOT repeat this for worldwide news crews... or anyone else for that matter. We like to only do this historic stuff in private.  We didn’t know this would be a historic video… so we used old/awful cell phone cameras.
