Showing the Way They Went

Synopsis: Discusses aerial filming of a group of hikers from a hot-air balloon, considering factors such as wind speed, wind directions and altitudes. Also looks at how the balloon itself was filmed from the air: a second hot-air balloon had to stay airborne to film the first landing within the area of an associated Ordance Survey map. The progress of this balloon was recorded by its pilot and the data formed the basis of a study of vectors.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
