   Prices Minimize

So you are thinking about coming skydiving with us ! We better tell you the prices then ! These are set by the airfields so do differ depending on where you jump from.

Freefall cameramen are extremely qualified in what they do and have undertaken a lot of expensive training to get where they are.  We all want your day to be memorable and special and we take every step we can to make sure it comes across in the video !

London Parachute School - Standard DVD and Photo Package - £95

This is the standard package at London Parachute School.  It consists of a cd full of photos (on the ground and in freefall) and a DVD video, edited to music, with sections slow motioned and a slideshow at the end.

Basically what will happen is that you arrive on the day and state that you would like a video.  Behind the scenes you are assigned a cameraman who will meet you before your jump and photograph / video everything, from kitting up to landing.

Throughout the ride to altitude we are there, filming the views, you in the plane and the look on your face as we climb higher, passing 2 miles on the way up.

We then climb out on the side of the plane, filming you on the edge of the plane door, and leave a split second before you, being litterally a few feet from you the whole way down, taking stills and video of you floating in freefall.

At 5,000ft your instructor will deploy the parachute and we will freefall away from you at speeds of up to 100mph.

Whilst you are enjoying the view at 5,000ft we deploy at 3,000ft. giving us the ideal opportuntity to take a few last minute photos before we beat you down to the ground to film you coming into land.

All of this footage is then taken away and individually edited, making a unique video, just for you !  We use the latest video editing technology to produce a professional DVD and photo CD that will have your friends all wanting to have a go as well !  This is posted out to you within a week.

We can always slightly taylor film work to suit you (within reason !).  We have had people jump in sloganed t-shirts, groups wanting photos taken and even had someone land and "pop the question" to an unsuspecting girlfriend ! Very James Bond !

Film / TV / Advertising work

Core Photography has access to some of the best people in the business and we are always happy to help with film and TV projects.

No task is too big or small. We have access to people who can do all kinds of work from simply releasing stock photos for purchase to dedicated plane hire and jumps under the direction of a film crew.

 
 
     
     
 
   Top Tips ! Minimize

We want your video to be the best that it can be.  Here are a few tips that we give people to get the best out of the experience and the best possible video.

Listen to your instructor and make sure you do what they have asked of you.  A good body position will make the skydive itself go smoothly and the video will look nice and smooth as well.

Keep your head back in freefall.  Looking down may be a temptation but looking out across the rolling fields is better! This also means that the cameraman (who is freefalling in front of you) films your face, not just the top of your head!

On landing keep your feet up !  You will be fully briefed before the jump so not to worry, but an instructor rolling over the top of a tandem student does not make good video ! :-)
Enjoy yourelf !  The experience should be enjoyable, wave and smile at the camera ! Show everyone how much fun it is !
