It's amazing that Rossi is getting around this well...

That is cool.  Dumb Q, but the "old" cameras tilt with the bike right?

Yup, they're stationary

I like it. It really captures the body position and lean angle well.

It's like NASCAR Germany...

I've got the dizzy now

I imagine that will be used for film in the future.  Very cool perspective.

Most camera technology does of course, I just haven't seen that in a movie yet. Ithought maybe it was in the first Tron Legacy trailer, but nope, not gyroscopic. Maybe I'll have to incorporate a shot opportunity like that into my screenplay... Not DMF: The Movie, though that too could use it to really capture HeMan's bike getting run over

Do you need a cinematographer? 

Right now I just need better writing abilities and more imagination.  Everything I write seems to be a a blatant plagarism of the last movie I saw. 

"And so Luke Skywalker . . . performed an Inception . . . in the Temple of Doom . . . while bombing Parliamant wearing a Guy Fox mask . . . after he stole a rug from Mr. Lebowski . . . and took it back to 1985 in his Delorian . . . . . Dammit!"

I just saw the camera during qualifying. Very cool! 

It's different.  Cool seeing the lean but I like the stationary camera better.  If we're going to see that used more during the races though, I'd like degree of the angle shown as well.  Seems like they've shown that before..no?
