Re: I financed it. (4.00 / 2)
Thanks, Jerome. I knew they were big, but whoa. . . .

Yeah. Those shots of the guy winching down onto the maintenance platform really pointed up the scale of the things compared to, say, the onshore E-70s I saw in Spain a couple of weeks ago.

Was the film slo-moed at all or where the rotational speeds we saw there the real thing?

Regards
Luke

Can't answer for J's video, but they rotate between 7-12 rpm (+or- a bit.)
