Black Eagle Projects

I am in the process of creating a series of documentary films on Aviation. All will be in the Black Eagle Projects stable and we will call it the aviation series. It is a step away from wildlife documentary filmmaking I know, but I will get back to the bush again soon. As I am in the pre production stage on five new wildlife documentary films.

The first seven will be documentaries on different aviation subjects. So far two are complete, being the Avro Shackleton 1722 and Airshow.( In SA they spell Air Show Airshow as one word) The series will be finished in April 2008,and will be available on DVD’s( documentary DVD’s ).The individual documentary DVD’s will be available as soon as they are finished.To get a copy of the Shackleton or Airshow DVD please contact Andrew Schofield at andschofield@gmail.com

Documentary filmmaking takes time and precision, especially the documentary film with technical aspects in it. Aviation is a very popular subject with many thousands of knowledgeable enthusiasts on general aviation. So it is vital to make sure that our documentary film production is 100% correct. During the making of the Avro Shackleton 1722 documentary film we had the best advisors on historical aviation available to us in he form of Henry James Potgieter, Buks and Pat not forgetting Chris Teale the museologist.

Aviation photography is a very popular past time and there are many good aviation photographers out there creating really outstanding aviation images. There are also many amateur or weekend documentary video makers who create very good aviation pictures, and independent documentary aviation makers who cover all aviation art, and air force aspects of general aviation.

So to fulfill one of my dreams of making some really good aviation documentary video films I started with the Avro Shackleton 1722 film then completed the Airshow documentary DVD, these are now available to order. The new innovation that we have started is that there is stock in England and all orders from England and Europe are posted from England. The Black Eagle Projects Website is up and running in England and the one in South Africa will be open in January. The next on the list is the Huey Helicopter the Dakota c-47 DC3 the Harvard and a documentary on how a young military aviator get their wings, and one surprise that will have you in the cockpit with some unique aviation perspectives.

An aviation picture library where you can purchase aviation pictures will also be available as of January. The aviation series of DVDs will be available to order from the website and there will also be aviation gifts for sale.
