CornishChris 5 #1 July 12, 2007 I put together this set of stills from of a friends deployment sequence - reasonably pleased with it and thought I would share - bear in mind that I have only done about 6 stills jumps. I haven't quite got the transitions between the different pictures nailed yet but it is OK... Any comments? CJP Gods don't kill people.

funkcanna 0 #2 July 12, 2007 Dunno if its just me mate but I cant see the pics. When I click the link the window opens but with just a picture placeholder and no pics...To know requires proof To believe requires evidence To have faith requires neither.

Acoisa 0 #4 July 12, 2007 Looks really cool, and i'ts a great idea to do a sequence pic of deployment. I've never seen it done before! It would rock even more if you couldn't see that the background is photoshopped. Is there any way you can cut out the jumper and his chute more neatly? Here is a link to the site of a friend of mine who did a sequence shot of a basejump. The jumper in that picture appears pretty small as well so you should be able to do that also. http://www.southsidebase.de/50144396410eb1349/50144396410eb1a4c/53531197750a9000b/index.html# I can't link the picture directly... it's the one on the top right. I'm already a fan! I love sequence shots on a singe background! Edit: you might wanna try a faster shutter speed if possible so the outlines of the jumper will be a bit clearer. That might make it easier to cut out the jumper... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CornishChris 5 #5 July 12, 2007 Not sure why it isn't opening for some people... I am planning to do it again and actually just cut the jumper out - I rushed it a bit last night. I can then lay the jumper directly onto one background making it an easier shot. The shutter speed is pretty fast but he is already zoomed in a bit. As I said this is only my 5th stills jump... I will have another go tonight and post the results. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #7 July 12, 2007 The pic didn't open for me via the link but that may be an Internet Explorer thing. I right-clicked on the link, saved it, then opened it and it worked fine. BTW, very nice! Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #8 July 12, 2007 very nice. I too had to download it and open it, as trying to display it in IE just gave a blank. Anyway, any idea what the time between frames is? -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #9 July 12, 2007 Looks really cool. I shot these on film a couple years ago and i thought about trying again and doing something like what you have for an AFF class.

CornishChris 5 #11 July 12, 2007 right. I have had another go at this. Instead of just cutting a square round each shot and then piecing them together I have careful cut out each one around the body, lines & canopy and overlaid them on the final shot. It works much better and I am really pleased with it although it is fucking time consuming. The version I am uploading is a little blurry due to the size constraints. Not sure what the time is - I think about 2.5/3 a second. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acoisa 0 #12 July 12, 2007 Yeah, that's what I'm talkin about. F***n awesome!! I like it a lot. What tool did you use to cut out the jumpers? Great work! Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phastasphuk 0 #15 July 13, 2007 Oh My God. You can clearly see the jumper going upwards in those sequences! I have been lying to my whuffo friends all these years... Nice work CornishChris. chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drudchen 0 #16 July 13, 2007 When does a collapsible pilotchute get un-cocked during the deployment sequence? I thought it was after the canopy gets out of the dbag and pulls on the kill line.. why is it that in the picture 4/6 the pilotchute is still big and flying? BTW, that picture is awesome!. ..I think i got addicted to putting together a sequence of pictures myself.. it just looks so cool.

CornishChris 5 #22 July 13, 2007 I used the lasso tool on photoshop where you click on a point and then the next all the way round. I then copied the layer and dropped it into the master picture of the sky. If the edges were then looking a little rough I used a background eraser to neaten them up. I then moved them around to where they were in the original shots. Pretty pleased. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
