Waking up on a port-a-ledge is amazing. Thousands of feet above the ground, exposed to mother natures finest work. Just hanging there makes you feel so alive and in awe of the world. This incredible majesty combined with the heady cocktail of fear and adrenalin that comes from games like climbing and BASE jumping is really quite something.
We set out to capture some of this beauty and magic in a one-minute film. We wanted it to inspire, captivate and blow away the viewer with vertigo inducing intensity.
We found the perfect location. Stunning scenery, dramatic action and accessible camera positions! The climb was hard but doable. The port-a-ledge position was epic and we managed to do just enough BASE jumps to cover all the angles we wanted. Extremely high-risk action was executed safely and everybody nailed their shots. It was intense and exhausting but a pleasure to work with such a great crew.
The commercial was screened before the Bond movie Quantum of Solace in all UK cinemas.
