I am submitting an entry for the 2008 video contest. "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrows" is compiled from 2007-2008 footage at COSROCS, Tripoli Colorado Hartsel, Southern Colorado Rocketeers (SCORE), and TARC launches. The music is from the "O Brother, Where Art Thou" movie soundtrack published by Lost Highway Records. Go out an buy the CD. It's great stuff.
This is a Boostervision system being lofted by a scratch built 8 fin rocket using a BT-56 body tube. This flight uses a D12-5 motor. The camera nosecone and rocket body return on separate chutes. This rocket was built as a two stage configuration, but this flight is with the sustainer only: http://www.rocketrev iews.com/
We pay homage to one of the best movie trailers ever made... Live Free or Die Hard. The video clips are from a combined Tripoli/COSROCS/S.C. O.R.E. launch in Hartsel, Colorado on June 9-10 2007. And yes, we do have live buffalo on the range. : http://www.rocketrev iews.com/
So far I've R.I.P.'d 5 swingers by Fun Rockets. Read the review on the Swinger first, then the video makes a little more sense. Ironically, this swinger performed the best out of the five; it got off the pad, went up, and did not shred when the ejection charge went off, which is more than the others did: http://www.rocketrev iews.com/
The following video is of my LOC Precision Expediter with a Booster Vision Camera. I flew it on a Aerotech H238 and it rocked!

Flipper Two was a 4 inch dual deploy rocket with a Super 8 movie camera
on board, and took many movies from 1995-1999. It was a two stager
with outboards. The movie camera was rigged to run fast, so the movies
play back in about 1/2 speed. The three flights in this
reached 3600-4500 feet. Enjoy! http://www.rocketrev iews.com
