Storms of 2007 Charity DVD!

[Verne Carlson]

We are up and running on the Storms of 2007 production. Please see Mickey Ptak's post on Page 5 for the latest details and how to get involved in this worthy and exciting project!

I think this is a nice way for storm chasers to contribute their expertise and video to a good cause. It also generates great publicity for storm chasers as a group (and another way to advertise one's own video). With recent articles disparaging chasers, this project is another way to show that chasers do make some contribution. I have enjoyed the previous versions and am looking forward to contributing and eventually watching the 2007 edition.

May 5th structure/tornado stills...more video?

Thanks to all who have already contacted me with material of the May 5th events. What I would really like is some structure video (if you were too far away or missed the torns, this is exactly what I am looking for). If you have have high quality stills of either structure or distant tornado shots, I am looking for some of those as well.

Please email me at [email protected] and let me know what you have and if a preview is avialable online.

Thanks...

Enterprise Alabama tornado video wanted

I am compiling the Enterprise, Alabama tornado part of Storms of 2007, and I am looking for any video of the storm either before or after it produced the tornado. I haven't heard of any chasers who were on that storm but maybe there were some others not on Stormtrack. I am currently tracking down amateur video of the tornado as I did on my Eastern Fury compilation. I would be interested in any names and or contact numbers of the amateur videographers or network contact numbers. I am also looking for nice radar loops (GRlevel 3) of the Enterprise tornado. Please PM me or email. [email protected]

Thanks

21 April - Tulia, TX and a couple northeast of there.
04 May - Greensburg, KS

- Not on the list of dates:

[Melissa Moon]

I don't have any video to contribute, but I'm game for music.

 

[Darin Brunin]

I just wanted to let everyone know that while the May 4th chapter will have a lot to do with Greensburg, there were also other beautiful storms so if you have footage from N. KS or Oklahoma I definitely want to use that as well. Also, I am looking for photos and video of Greensburg before and after the tornado. I am trying to contact as many people as I can but know that I haven't come close to getting ahold of everyone that was chasing that day, so if you have anything that you would like to donate for the May 4th chapter it would be greatly appreciated.

I have footage of the May 4 tornadoes AFTER Greensburg. Mostly stills backlit by lightning, but very few chasers observed these tornadoes and they were a significant portion of the event. On a somewhat eerie note, during my video review, I found audio from our conversation with officer Tim Bucklin shortly before he was fatally injured, as well as a shot of him driving westward towards the rural area south of Macksville, possibly the last time he was seen before being overtaken by the St John tornado.

I don't know what the proper course would be, but if the producers wanted to work that into the May 4 chapter as a sort of small tribute, I could help with the storyline....or if it's better to not mention it at all, the tornado footage would still work. Just thought it was worth mentioning since these tornadoes took lives (uncommon for 'Storms Of..' events).

I've also got footage from April 21 and May 22, but many have already volunteered that have more or less the same angles I do.

 

[Andrew Pritchard]

I think most have the bigger days covered so I may not bother sending in my video from them, though I do have decent video from April 24 and May 22. My best video is probably exclusive video of the Glen Ullin, North Dakota tornado on May 21st. Mark Sefried and I were the only two that I know of that chased that storm since everyone else stayed south for the nex day's show.

 

[Paul Stofer]

I have some great structure footage from May 22nd, as well as some tornado footage. Let me know if it's something your interested in.

 

[Eric Carlson]

I'm the guy who did the intro sequence for Storms of 2006 (The part where the camera flies through the clouds). I'd be willing to help out with any similar motion graphics work that people may need. I can do 3D, but my main specialty is 2D graphics. PM me or send me an email if your interested and I'll try to help you out.

 

[Mikey Gribble]

If anybody wants to use any of my video they can. I have video from...

3/28 - Decatur County, Kansas
4/23 - Protection (good up close tornado video)
4/24 - Nickerson (good up close tornado video)
5/05 - Great Bend
5/22 - Hill City (good up close tornado video)

 

[Michael O'Keeffe]

If anybody has good video of the April 24 tornadoes in Reno/Rice counties please PM me or e-mail. Thanks.



EDIT: If you have good storm structure video I would really like that as well!
