Best use of a GoPro ever?

All,

Thought you might enjoy this. Be warned though, NSFW!

That's a great piece of work.

Pretty amazing sequences, some of the stunts are outstanding. Falling thru the roof vent to catch the pipe 3 floors down is a mind bender (I suspect a keyed air-ratchet on that one. Wise choice for their promo freeze frame, though I don't think I'll be listening to that song much.

Could see this kind of thing going viral as it appeals to the 15-35 male demographic who are weaned on first person shooter games, they've really captured that gaming feel here. Coordinating some of those long sequences for logistics, timing, squibs, etc, is very impressive indeed.

Thanks for the share, Peter.

Amazing work; pretty much like playing a video game.

I have heard that editing POV sequences can be a real PITA because there is no natural way to hide the cut (every edit is essentially a jump-cut) - but it worked well here, especially given the frenetic pace.

I'm not sure that the 'device' added anything to the plot, other than to give the piece an ending.

Maybe the device provided a reason for all the mayhem, men risking their lives for a device that teleports people? I can see that. Also it provided an excuse for us to jump to some exotic locations. Though they didn't do much with the snowy peaks, I'm glad we got to use the fighter jet graveyard.

Upon watching it a second time, I see they use the frenetic pace & choppy cuts to conceal their edits (dog switch, set up for roof vent fall, etc). Though I see what looks like a continuity error, when the man with the case abandons the car to wreck, he leaves the case on the passenger seat. Next shot he's got it again running to the ladder.

Still, I enjoyed it.
