In essence it&#8217;s a revolving glass observation pod which rises to a height of 65m to provide stunning views over Bath and its surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Nicholas explains;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Having worked as an architect in Bath for over 25 years I well understand the sensitivities of this World Heritage city. Although brilliant, I could not see the London Eye working here, so I wanted to develop something that would offer a similar breath-taking aerial experience, but in a way which was both elegant and unobtrusive. AQ-Y will lift people high enough to enjoy and interpret the city from above, but will be low profile enough to preserve Bath\u2019s traditional views, as AQ-Y\u2019s resting position is down and so doesn\u2019t interrupt the city skyline. It\u2019s also a dynamic work of art in its own right; the future celebrating the past of this wonderful, beautifully innovative city.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul class=\"blockgrid small-block-grid-1 medium-block-grid-3 large-block-grid-3 \">\n<li>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/jamiebrightmore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/aqueye-view-down.jpg\" alt=\"Pulteney Bridge, Bath \" width=\"826\" height=\"826\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Pulteney Bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/jamiebrightmore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/aqueye-pod.jpg\" alt=\"AQ-Y Pod\" width=\"826\" height=\"826\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>AQ-Y Pod<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/jamiebrightmore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/aqueye-filming.jpg\" alt=\"Filming\" width=\"826\" height=\"826\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Filming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Capturing the vision<\/h2>\n<p>The nature of the attraction\u00a0perfectly lends itself to <a href=\"http:\/\/jamiebrightmore.com\/aerial\/\">aerial filming<\/a>, made\u00a0possible by using advanced multirotor technology. The aim was to elegantly display the views the glass pod will give to its passengers through high definition video and digital\u00a0photographs.<\/p>\n<p>In order to capture the right shots, there were a number of challenges to overcome. Firstly we needed to obtain permission from the <a href=\"http:\/\/channels.visitbath.co.uk\/bath-film-office\">Bath Film Office<\/a> to perform a series of aerial flights in the centre of Bath, a sensitive area. In order to do this safely, risks were identified during planning\u00a0and mitigated against accordingly. Due to the weather, we had to reschedule on a number of occasions \u2013\u00a0the film office staff were extremely helpful and patient.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly we required\u00a0perfect weather conditions; the city to be bathed in sunlight and calm winds to allow intricate remotely piloted aircraft manoeuvres. The weather is always a challenge for this type of work in this country, but over time, we found appropriate time windows which\u00a0enabled the resulting assets to be obtained successfully.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, we had to turn the vision of\u00a0how the attraction would frame views for\u00a0onboard passengers into reality. This meant using live telemetry information to ensure\u00a0accurate altitudes and points along the structure&#8217;s flight path, along with live video downlink monitoring to perfectly frame the shots.<\/p>\n<h2>Client feedback on this project<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;For AQ-Y, Jamie&#8217;s aerial footage provided the magic ingredient. Lifting up and sweeping over the rooftops gave our promotional film the essential story that Bath has superb treasure in the air and AQ-Y will bring it to life. As Jamie says, the weather hampered us for two and a half weeks, so, with the deadline fast approaching, we grabbed the chance when it finally came and the results are breath taking.&#8221; \u2014\u00a0<b>Nicholas Stubbs<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Selling the\u00a0idea<\/h2>\n<p>The aerial shots form a crucial part of the project&#8217;s promotional film, enabling it to capture people&#8217;s imagination and ultimately gain support for the project.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the\u00a0final film&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen vimeo\">\n\t \t<iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9Ddei6B9eAs\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen>><\/iframe>\n\t <\/div>\n<p>More information: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aq-y.com\/\">aq-y.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I was commissioned to capture some unique aerial video and images for a new venture &#8216;AQ-Y&#8217;.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[5,74,76,19,25,24,75,58],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 -
