Ever wonder what it’s like to film F-22 Raptors from the open ramp of a C-17 over the Alaska Range? This is as real as it gets.In this behind-the-scenes look at one of the most intense aerial cinematography shoots of my career, I take you along for a high-adrenaline mission capturing F-22s and F-16s over the stunning wilderness of Alaska.From mission briefings to camera stabilization techniques, I walk you through how I captured 8K video and 35MP stills using a RED Helium, Kenyon gyro, and handheld setup—all while hanging out the back of a C-17 in freezing temps and bumpy air. If you’ve ever questioned whether shots like this are CG… take a look. They’re not.Topics covered: F-22 and F-16 aerial formation flying RED cinema camera rig for high-speed aviation shoots How to film from a C-17 ramp Using gyro stabilizers and photo lenses in-air Pulling stills from 8K footage Real-world aviation cinematography tips Alaska-based military aviation footage Behind the scenes of Air Force photo missions🎥 This isn’t your average shoot.
