Battle of Dire Strait

My lazy brother didn't post this video here when we competed it, so I'd appreciate it if everyone could give him a swift kick in the posterior when you're done reading what he posted to the big gun yahoo group (there is a time and a place for corporeal punishment; this falls under both categories)

Hi, all. I just posted the latest video from Bitondo Bros.
Productions. It's a short teaser showing a little of our most recent
activities, and what we would like to get in the future.

I'm offering a special congratulatory award to whichever non-WWCC
member is the first to identify all of the ships in the film.

 

That is the best video ever.

 

Nice Video but no firing? Will we see part 2 of this Video?

 

Cool video.

 

Some point soon you will see a new video with action. This was mostly a test to see what speed to slow the video down to and check the low angle shots, as well as a reminder that BBP is still alive and well. I already have some good action shots, but I'll be getting more at the battle this weekend, and it'll probably be a week or two before you see The Battle of Dire Strait: The Director's Cut.

edit: nobody has even tried to identify the ships in the video. Does anyone want the special congratulatory award? Or should I keep it for myself?

 

Ok I have to look at it again but I know I saw Hood. The low quarterdeck awash gave it away. I saw a Queen Elizabeth and a H39 CLASS WITH THE 2 FUNNELS.Or either that it was a Bismarck with the dummy funnel. I need to look at it again. I can't remember how many ships I saw.

 

Any plans to mount a camera on the deck and have it film the ships astern in a single column or maybe mount the cam broadside or bow on.

 

Well Curt, you've got 3 out of 4 so far. Almost there!

I do have an ATC-2K waterproof sport video camera that I will be bringing along to the battle this weekend. I'll place it atop a turret and get a gun-cam view of the battle. If it works good, then I'll do some additional filming with it at the gunnery/maneuvering event on monday.

 

Ok I will check it out again. Don't tell me what the 4th ship is. I love a mystery.
Cool with the camera. I love those kind of videos.
