Lil Prop - Big Trip
"Lil Prop" Details
"LilProp-BigTrip" is the music video finale to Brian FitzGerald's documentary about Ultralight Flying titled "UFM2" (Ultralight Flying Millennium 2). "Lil Prop" is designed to take you along with The Sky Surfer on a low level, mythical Kansas Flight Adventure. Shot before the arrival of the "GoPro" type cameras, this is a "single cam shoot". Sequences had to be replicated for each camera placement. Great effort was made to place the camera at positions on the airplane to give you a sense of "being there" with The Sky Surfer. Special credit goes to Cameraman Jeff Johnson who shot most of the "ground to air" sequences. In addition to flying the plane and editing the piece, FitzGerald wrote and performed the music under this video.

Autumn Air
"Autumn Air" Details
"Autumn Air" is a motion painting of the entrancing, colorful, autumn Kansas landscape as seen from the eyes of a bird. While Kansas in October is beautiful at "human eye level", there is nothing to compare with the view from 10 feet to 100. The Sky Surfer has always marveled at it since taking to the air but now has the ability to bring it to you on video. You will see beautiful countryside and wildlife.

The Flint Hills Spring Fandango
"Spring Fandango" Details
"The Spring Fandango" is The Sky Surfer's final POV effort. This Spring Fandango will be the final POV for me. It is the last in a total of eight "Point of View" movies. I hope you have enjoyed these Sky Safaris as much as I have but I’ve pretty much covered the topic and need to move on to something else…
In this second of a two part POV travelogue, you will glide over and through The Picturesque Flint Hills of Kansas by Ultralight - this time in The Spring! Narrated by Brian FitzGerald - The Sky Surfer - as in the Fall Version, you will witness the majesty of this area but this time the features of note are rock formations, grand scenary, ponds and creeks. Again, before landing, The Surfer spies a unique geological feature which this time he covers more fully than in The Fall!
