Drivers angles

(1/1)

Dare:
Ever wonder how they got those great driver
shots in the past

cosworth151:
The driver's view might be a tad limited.

I'll bet the mid engine car was much more comfortable on a hot afternoon.

Jericoke:
And now they've got those fabulous gimbal mounted cameras that let us see the angle of track banking, with no shake whatsoever.

John S:
Not sure who's the braver in F1 at that time; drivers of that era, or the clearly adventurous - nay CRAZY - cameramen.   :D

Photographers are lowkey crazy.  Ever see an elephant, lion or shark charge a camera?  There's a human being behind that camera, standing in harms way just so we can sit on our couches snacking and thinking 'wow, that's a scary animal'

The VERY FIRST movie was a train coming straight at a camera.  It was handcranked!  Someone stood in front of a speeding train, with no guarantees things would work out.
