ACTION SHORTS
The Runaway
We teamed up with Stunt Camera Crew to film this chase sequence starring Remi Bakkar. We enter the story of a man who is gagged and handcuffed with duct-tape running for his life.
Chase Choreographer and Director, Paul “Diddy” Darnell created the challenge of capturing a portion action with a continuous shot starting just under the dam and ending in the water below. The challenge was getting the camera from the top of a 20ft concrete slide, across a 30 yard dash, over a railing with a 12ft drop into the water and ending with another 30 yard dash through water.
Our team came together and broke the shot down into 2 camera hand-offs with the final camera man jumping in unison with one of the performers 12ft down into the water below.
Behind the scenes of the shot described above can be seen here on the Stunt Camera Crew instagram page:
