I know many people would like to know how you created your flying effect but i must say a true master never reveals his secrets.

I think he threw the stuff then snapped the camera really quickly.

If you wonder about the precision of the angles--

It took a lot of throws, but Richard doesn't have to worry about the day job.

Even easier, get someone else to do the throwing.

Richard, are you listening?

Martin has really good advice.

No: I wander how the Playmo isn't damaged ...

either:

~ Richard has a team working with him, the guys catch the playmo with a big piece of cloth
or ~ he has a lot of spare flying stuff ...

No Tim: he because he hasn't a lot of spare green airplanes! 8}

Give up!

Besides, the pictures woud be blured, &c..

Just admit you can't make the slightest sense of how he makes it.

It's all right to me ... ;D I can live together with the unknown! :lol: 8} :toot:


What about you? :P
Lol ...

Somebody told me that on Saint Thomas there are a lot of hot air geysers that could support the weight of a Playmobil item for the duration of their discharge.

So it seems pretty certain that Richard is exploiting that natural phenomenon.

Or else he has one of the locals holding it up for him.  On a lot of these islands, the natives are pretty invisible.

As long as it isn't Richard's hot air discharges I'm quite relieved. Ah the magic of Playmo.

Richard's pictures of the flying playmo objects are really according to the new Indiana Jones movie ... ;D

Therefore, I think Richard may be considered as the Playmoworld Steven Spielberg ...

Macgayver, however, would be more like ... erm ... Mcgyver in the Playmoworld of customizers!

You see, these are two different arts, and NONE of'em is actual magic --

Richard makes illusionism;
Michael, stuff kids like to see, and would love to do themselves (like a bomb with a piece of paper and a couple of stones and a match ...).


There's another of these "magicians", who is Ralph Gemein, at Garden Wargaming / Playclicks ...


Cheers!

Yeah, if Richard ever asks you to "C'mon, pull my finger" I've been advised to respectfully, but firmly, decline then open all the windows and vacate the room for about 48 hours.

Hello, Jochen ...

Very happy to see you back at PF! ...  :klickygrin:

BTW quite perfect pics and I'm still wondering how you made those lovely flying plane pics (absolutely perfect would be if the prop doesn't seem to stand still but is blured due to rotation ... maybe a little electric motor to make it spin around fast ... or a construction with an elastic band to "wind up" the prop and be released for the photo ...  ???). You always have this really beautiful weather on your photos, I'm really envious about this  :P



Great suggestions about the propellor! Interestingly, the propellor was actually spinning when the photos were taken. As Jimbo already correctly surmised, it's the camera shutter speed that makes the propellor appear to be stationary. Unfortunately, if I replace the propellor with a plexiglas disk as Jimbo suggested, how would the little bi-plane fly? ... :klickywink:

Jochen ... I'm in Houston, Texas today and I join you in being envious about the beautiful weather in the Virgin Islands ...  :sadklicky:

All the best,
Richard
