The guy that produced Dawn Flight is now running Sunriver Soaring. Brian Lansburgh. He is thinking of remaking it too. Boggs Hi, Everyone. I posted but it didn't get to this thread I guess. We've re-mastered Dawn Flight and are now offering it on The Big Yellow Glider Webstore (www.sunriversoaring.com). It's the long version. Also I hosted Denis Arndt, the star of the picture this summer. We flew in my 2-32 and did a long interview about how we shot the film. That's on the DVD we sell. Also featured is a film makers commentary. We are the only ones who are offering this version of the film. There's a lot of misinformation going around about the film. I think this DVD will provide all the straight info. I'm always happy to answer any questions. Thanks to all for remembering this film which gave me my only chance at an Oscar! Best regards, Brian Lansburgh www.sunriversoaring.com |

And let's remember that the film was made a long time ago (obvious from the pilot's haircut, for one thing). *All that flying is real, no CGI involved in the film. *So when you see the two 1-26s zooming through the trees and over the water, remember that there is a camera plane following them as well. *As I recall, it was a 2-32 with a camera mount in the front cockpit. *Soaring magazine had a writeup about how the film was made. *If your copies go back far enough, you could maybe find it. The company that filmed it makes "motivational" and inspirational films (or at least they used to). *I don't think the story was supposed to be about gliding - just general getting over your own fears and limitations. That part of it irritated me, but still, it's great fun to watch. Jim Beckman Anyone remember the issue? The Soaring archives are available abd easy to use. I have the video and spent a lot of time flying in the area where it was filmed so I'd love to read the article.

But it is not about the sailplanes, it is about the passion of the pilot. It's a wonderful film. No one says it isn't. But it's, as you say, not about sailplanes. It's of dramatic interest, historical interest. I think I'll go watch it now, then "The Sun Ship Game" (1969), This one too. I have the recently remastered version. It's of great interest to us old dogs. But if a 40 year old movie is the best thing you've got for recruitment then there's something very wrong. Unless your target market is purely middle aged white male academics, maybe. |

I wasn't even born when "The Sun Ship Game" came out and I still
think it's the best film about soaring ever made (and I've watched a hell of a lot of them!). It's like "The Endless Summer" with wings. If you get a renowned, prize winning documentary filmmaker interested in soaring, get people to invest a few million dollars (knowing they'll never get back more than a few percent of it) you could probably produce a film as good as it today. The music, fashion and the gliders would be different but the essence would be pretty much the same. |
