Anyone interested in this please bare with me as I try to explain what I'm thinking.
As some of you may be aware I've been vocal about wanting to organize people interested in building and growing small sUAS businesses. Also over the past couple of months I have received permission, along with working with the TSA to shoot aerial footage at two very busy commercial airports, John Wayne Orange County Airport and Van Nuys Airport.
About a month or so ago I was asked by the KCMA Camarillo Air Show committee if I would shoot aerial of their upcoming show, August 23-24, I told them I would be glad to if they got an LOA from the FAA. To my surprise they did and they took it a step further and got permission to do an aerial demonstration. I'm not keen on flying in front of several thousand people, but I reluctantly agreed. Then they told me that they would like to interview me on medea day, this Thursday.
After giving this some thought this is what I've come up with. Since things are not sorted out with the FAA, I don't want to bite off my nose to spite my face, its probably not a good idea for me to promote my fledgling sUAS business but this might be a good opportunity to promote sUAS in general. I would like to promote the positive aspects of many of the industrial applications of RC's/MR's. Some of you, especially people from outside the US have posted some great examples of industrial uses of MR's as well as some inspirational footage of great locations around the world. It would be great to share some of this, outside of the Internet, with the people attending this show [in a very non threatening to the FAA way] what great things the rest of the world is doing in this industry.
The announcer will say whatever we provide, about 3-5 minutes, during the show. I'd be willing to purchase some booth space and provide the necessary equipment to display any HD video you guys would be willing to share, it would also be great if we can provide footage for an EPK [Electronic Press Kit] for the medea.
It would also be hugely helpful if there were people willing to make the pilgrimage to Camarillo who would like to fly their MR's in front of large crowds.
This isn't Farnborough or OshKosh, it generally has about 65,000 attendees but for whatever reason they certainly seem to be interested in "Drones" so maybe we can use this event to put a positive spin on the sUAS business.
So I could really use some help in writing what we want the announcer to say, getting footage, preferably ProRes for the medea day this Thursday as well as footage for the day's of the show and some demo pilots with their own MR's. It would also be great if we had a good turn out of MR's for a static display.
Thanks
