Post Straight Up

I haven't had the chance to see it myself...
But I have been told that it should be quite spetacular.

Check this link for the promotional trailer:

Just went to see this today and thought it rather good. Anyone know anyone involved in the production of it? Be interesting to hear their stories...

Cheers,
Peter

From what I saw it seems to focus on products by those that pumped funding into it. Would have been nicer to have seen a lot more of the unsung helicopter work that we all know is out there included.

There is a kiwi company working on a video covering all sorts of civil helicopter work around the globe. Should be a good production when it is completed.

The video quality is very good. Nice pictures. (I viewed the DVD version)

Content-wise it is a rather bland product.

I'm afraid I have to agree with that it looked that the sponsors were promised some nice footage and kind words. Very basic explanations of how helicopters work, nothing advanced. Not much action.
