VATSIM-UK Live! 2014 - The Movie

Since the event video always seems to be so popular with everyone this year I decided we should mix it up a bit. It needed to be predominately video, and needed a bit of storyline behind it. So we came up with the concept of documenting the road trip to Live! and that’s the first part of what you’ll see. The video has actually been in development since April, with much of the early scenes filmed over a single bank holiday weekend. Harry, Tom and Tyler gave up virtually their entire weekend to do it, often with me having them repeat the same things time and time again until it was right. Tyler must’ve been ‘woken up’ at least 15 times! We had a lot of help in making it, not least from Cranfield Airport who very graciously allowed me airside with an armful of camera gear, and supplied an Ops vehicle so we could get the shots from the runway verge. Likewise Anjuabeats who kindly allowed us to use Above & Beyond’s “Small Moments Like These”, we felt it set the mood of the video perfectly and I hope you agree. In the end it turned into more of a short film than a video, with much more material there just wasn’t time to show you all; though I left in some of the outtakes! So grab your popcorn, turn your speakers up, click full screen, sit back, and enjoy… Live! 2014.
