Week 36
My 21st brithday. This week was my birthweek and what a weird birthweek it was. It almost feels like none of what happened happened. I started the week off in New Hampshire filming a short film with Teddy and a group of amazing people. My birthday in particular wasn't anything too spectacular. Just another shoot day. Teddy and I did go out and take photos but none of them really came out to my liking. It was a great night of exploration though which was nice. I came back from New Hampshire on Wednesday and stopped by George at college and picked up Scott before adventuring around the Seaport which is one of my favorite places to take photos! The brand new glass buildings right on the water make for some beautiful bokeh and lighting situations. I ended up coming back to see George the next day as well just for fun and we took more photos and explored a bit more. Now I am in Chicago on a business trip and we start shooting tomorrow. I can't wait to get back in the field. What a crazy week I have ahead of me.
I can't wait to see what this next week will bring!
In the Osirian language a helicopter is most often called an Akhiwereryet, or "flying chariot." This is especially the case for the Nauaphoph, or "serpent-fly" ("dragonfly"). This massive attack helicopter gunship was conceived as a specialist vehicle for the Osirian Army and Marines. Operating mostly from land bases, it provides close air support to troops on the ground and can carry a platoon of infantry in its cargo bay. Its thick armor protects it from many different kinds of threats, while it is armed to the teeth with a 25mm autocannon and eight hardpoints, as well as provisions for two door guns.
This helicopter was modified from an existing, much older design into the configuration seen today. The changes were many. First an entirely new tail fin was added to reduce wait and re-stabilize the aircraft. Horizontal stabilizers/elevons were also added where the previous helicopter had none. The hull was extensively modified, filling in a lot of empty space and adding armor, removing the strange rear cockpit and associated weapons and adding more space for troops or cargo. Replacing the struts carrying the rockets pods are now two wings carrying a much greater assortment of weaponry in addition to modified rocket pods carrying [40?] rockets each. Above all this, the rotor section was entirely reworked to add two turbines to propel the helicopter, where the previous version, again, had none. There is however little space to accommodate turbines, and as such, the Nauaphoph is seen as being underpowered and sometimes having difficulty accelerating to speed. This combined with its mediocre agility has earned it the moniker "Nauapnant," or "serpent-slug." Lastly, the nose-mounted machine gun turret was removed, as was the oversized underslung missile launcher, replaced with a nose cone and a 25mm cannon turret, respectively. The cockpits were modified to give the pilots greater visibility and the forward cheek-mounted machine guns were changed for smoke grenade launchers, to provide cover for troop landings.
Perhaps sluggish, but nonetheless very powerful and effective, the Nauaphoph seeks to serve the Osirian military as their primary attack gunship for many more years into the future.
Based on the old Dino Attack set.
