Guest Tata Steely Dan Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 The advent of affordable drones means that TV news coverage increasingly includes images captured from the air. This also provides a pleasant relief from the baffling, downright patronising attitude of yore, whereby any video filmed from the air invariably had 'inside the helicopter' audio added in post production. I never understood why they did this. Firstly it adds a distracting layer of white noise when you are only wanting to listen to the presenter. Secondly, I know that the fucking footage probably came from a fucking helicopter! Did the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 et al think that they were one misplaced sound recording away from a moral panic? That we would all start dancing feverishly in the streets if we witnessed video obviously captured from some ghostly noiseless vehicle in the sky? Fuck right off. I saw drone footage of that hotel burning to a crisp in Exeter and I enjoyed the silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manky Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 What was the type of helicopter they used in Black Hawk down? I don't recall much helicopter noise on news reports. Not, in my opinion, a major problem worthy of venting your spleen on. Stupid boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the hall of absolutely fucking shit nominations, this is somewhere between yacht and potato, and is also slightly worse than that bollocks about painting railings.

You're just angry because they are never going to give helicopter pilot licenses to people with webbed hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mongy fuckers that move next to Heathrow because it's cheap and then campaign against the airport need flaying and rolling in salt.

If there is any justice in this world the last noise you ever hear will be sound of Airwolf engaging turbo boost just prior to unleashing a full complement of Hellfire missiles in your general direction.

Well if you want my opinion, it would still struggle to eclipse that pathetic nom. about roundabouts. What sad fuck posted that now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
