This shot is not achievable on film. The blurring of foreground at this speed is much greater on HD through the use of a special setup within the camera. On film the forground would strobe or stutter.

This technique frees the aerial cameraman and pilot to track at any speed and to fly close without the risk of strobing. Of course he shutter can be engauged too create the stobic film look.

we'll remove the helicopter shadow in post!
