Aerials of
England from Skyworks
Skyworks began acquiring footage
for its aerial library in the early
summer of 2002. So far, the library
comprises footage of hundreds of locations
in the south-west, south-east and
heart of England. All the footage
has been shot widescreen on digibeta
using the best gyro-stabilised video
system available (the Ultramedia)
mounted on a squirrel helicopter.
The archive comprises over a hundred
hours of footage.
This footage has been acquired during
Skyworks production of aerial history
programmes for Carlton's regions.
For Central's Sky High programmes,
the team filmed throughout the midlands,
from the Welsh borders in the West
to the Fens in the east, and from
the Cotswolds in the south to the
Peak District and Cheshire in the
north. In making two series for HTV
West and West Country, the team filmed
comprehensively throughout Cornwall,
Devon, Somerset and Avon, and also
acquired footage in Dorset, Wiltshire,
Gloucestershire and south Wales. For
the London series, the team has filmed
not only the capital city in great
detail, but also the surrounding counties
in the south-east of England.
The library incorporates a great
variety of locations, including prehistoric
monuments, castles, churches, cathedrals,
landscapes, cities (by day and night),
modern buildings and structures, country
parks and houses, canals, railways,
roads, temples, seaside resorts, mountains,
coastline, rivers, forests. There
is also plenty of generic material
(weather, landscape, agriculture,
urban, etc). The variety of footage
in the library is vast, ranging from
tight shots taken from a few feet
off the ground to wide shots taken
from 10,000 feet. There are also fast
low flybys, sweeping pans, subtle
reveals and long developing shots,
starting tight at ground level and
ending with a wide high overview of
the subject in its environs.
The sophistication of the camera
system combined with the meticulous
planning and vast experience of the
aerial team has lead to the creation
of a substantial aerial library of
exceptional quality. It is Skyworks'
intention to continually grow the
library in the future. With this in
mind, there will be approximately
another forty hours of material added
in the autumn.
This new material come as fantastic
addition to the aerials of the United
Kingdom from the Flying Pictures collection,
already available through Moving Image.

'I'll be back'.... Infamous words
uttered by the current candidate in
the race for Governor of California
Arnold Schwarzenegger. Movie star
and ex winner of Mr Universe, Arnie
has plenty to talk about and where
better to discuss your latest action
sequence than the TVAM sofa? The eighties
were Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher
times and Arnold Schwarzenegger was
promoting his career in the film industry.
He felt like an American citizen already.
Did he know he would follow a political
career 20 years later?
