Operation Stonecoat

An After Action Report

Operation Stonecoat was my recent weekend FTX where we planned and played out a training mission from start to finish.

I shot a couple hours of footage, lost half of it due to camera and memory card issues, but had enough to put together an After Action Report (AAR) of the first half of the trip to share with you all! There will be a part 2 covering the overnight part in the coming weeks to go over that part of it.

We played with a first person camera angle to add a bit of a different perspective to portions of this video. Instead of setting up a camera, retracing my steps, walking through the camera view, and then having to go back and pack up the tripod and move on this way of filming made that part much easier and more free flowing. Plus I felt it gave a fresh view of moving about the area.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing it and that it motivates you to go plan your own weekend “missions” and then go do them.
