Skydive! Video your first tandem parachute freefall at Skydive Orange, Virginia- Sky Diving Pictures

SKYDIVE VIDEO YOUR SKYDIVES PHOTOGRAPHED! EXPERTLY EDITED DIGITAL SKYDIVING VIDEO

This definitive YouTube SKYDIVE ORANGE TANDEM VIDEO says it all! It was videoed by Lambert of a skydive made with Instructor Nick Kaminski
See our recent Tandem Skydiving Photo Section to see what you get when you get your skydive photographed!
The biggest cause of less than happy first time skydivers is when we run out of camera guys for those who didn't schedule video ahead and realized it is too late to add it at the last minute. Don't forget to schedule your camera guy for the jump! Quality, skilled camera flyers are hard to come by.

Your skydive will probably be the most exciting 60 seconds of your life. Capturing it on video is a great way to make the ride last even longer. Skydive Orange, Inc. is proud to offer a fine staff of videographers who are dedicated to quality freefall photography and making your skydive a ride you'll never forget, documented with sky diving pictures. Between the 4 senior video guys at Orange, we have about 6500 jumps and about 25 years in the sport!

Here's 2 Skydiving Videos by Eric Babcock, Good Times at Skydive Orange (Left) and a Tandem Skydive video with Tandem instructor Mike French, June 15, 2008, (right). Right- actual jumps starts at 5:00. These darn video guys stretch out the pre-jump intro...:

Search "skydive orange" on YouTube for many more videos taken by our proud team of Skydive Orange vidiots. We throw a small drogue parachute right after exit for all tandem freefalls in order to compensate for the fact that there are two people one on top of the other so the skydiving student feels like they are alone in freefall. Tandem instructors carefully check the position of their handles in freefall. This'll take quite a while to download with slow dial up connections. ...or here to see Pictures of First Tandem Skydives!

Still Skydiving Pictures are nice since they don't require any hardware to show your friends once you get them printed. Video your AFF and tandem jumps for learning purposes. Bring a favorite CD or choose from our vast library of CD's, for editing by some of the best freefall videographers in the country!

VIDEO, PHOTO and music FAQ's
We are not responsible for archiving your videos nor photos! It is up to you to treat any media carefully and we recommend you copy it to your hard drive and back it up. If you lose them we'll try, but we probably cannot replace them.

Can we get one video for our whole group?
No, because a freefall camera flyer cannot be in more than one place at the same time - tandems are as much as a quarter mile apart in freefall, so each person must still get their own video.

Can I bring my own camera on my skydive?
No, it would get in the way. Here is a more detailed answer.

Can I bring my own Music?
Yes, if the Videographer/Editor has available time depending on the schedule of the day (even busier on the weekends).

We need 3 songs IN ORDER on a CD or MP3 player
1. Intro - Medium Upbeat
2. Freefall - Full on
3. Ending - Slower

Also, songs need to kick-in within the first 10 seconds, and we only use the first 1 to 2 minutes of a song.

What Format is The DVD?
It is a DVD-R Disc, which will play in any modern DVD player, even the cheap $40 players. If you put the DVD into a computer DVD Drive, like any normal commercial DVD, it will play in your DVD software player, or if you EXPLORE the DVD, in the VIDEO_TS folder, it will show file names with the extension name .VOB

How do I put my video online or email the video to friends?
Method One
The File .VOB can be imported, converted and exported to any video compressed format using video editing software.

Method Two
Connect a Camcorder to the output of your DVD player, and record to the camcorder's digital media;
i.e., Memory Stick (MS) or Compact Flash (CF) Card, or SD Card. Check your camcorder manual for details.

When will my Video/Pictures be Ready?
Usually 15-45 minutes after you land. It also depends if the videographer has to do multiple jumps. On rare occasions, if we are too busy, we might mail it to you in a few days.

Videographers Top Tip!
Wear something colorful if its summertime, your video and pictures will be more vivid against the blue, grey, and white skies. Don't wear grey!
