In the spirit of Arthur BATUT, topics are oriented to share experiences on kite aerial photography.

Here bellow some example of the themes we would like to have presentations proposals.

    • History
      • The forerunners from 1888 to 1900
      • Development of kite aerial photography from 1900 to 1920
      • ...
NB: Stress on the methodologies and techniques that are still applied today or which could be considered again.

    • Innovations
      • An innovation is some new, developed after KAPiNed 2010
      • All domains are concerned, kites, rigs, lines, operating modes, ...
      • Must also been considered the methods to test kites, rigs stability, reliability, ...
      • ...
    • Aerial movies, the movement being characteristic of today's world
      • Still unknown and little used, there is still definitely a lot to discover, from shooting to projections
      • ...
    • Scientifics applications, Arthur Batut has participated to some of them
      • All the ones which are using today kite aerial photography: earth science, archeology, urbanism and architecture, volcanology
      • ...

Of course, any other presentation can be submitted whatever is the subject.

Regarding the technical subjects, it seems important to us not to stay in general directions but quickly dive into challenges encountered and how they have been addressed.

You can submit a presentation, propose a subject and prepare a slide show, even if you are not able to attend KAPiFrance 125.

Length of the presentations can vary from few minutes up to 1/2h (translating time included).
