If not how did you over come the problem of not being "on set" for half of the music video? It was mostly really down to good planning, in addition to also having a helicopter with a cineflx mounted that we used for some of the shots. Having worked with many action sports athletes before though, I know that they are generally passionate and educated on filming and showing off their own sport to it's best.
Many of them now make a career from their popularity on YouTube rather than competition so there is both enthusiasm and knowledge of filming there.
With that in mind the first port of call was to contact Jokke Sommer — the flyer I wanted in the film — and chat over the details of shooting POV style footage from a following wing suit flyer. Obviously I have to make sure everything fits the concept and narrative but it is Jokke who knows the jumps routes and what is possible for him to do. Jokke and our flying camera man Ludo brought so much to the video. We'd set up each jump 3 in total , know the route they would take so we could set up ground camera points and then we'd be in constant contact leading up to the jump from our helicopter.
After each jump Ludo would then show me the footage and we'd talk through what we needed from the next jump. For me the footage these guys get makes it more special and really helps the viewer imagine actually flying. I think it stems from beginning my filmmaking career making short web clips of bike riding. In the world of those types of sports BMX, skateboarding, etc there are millions of videos all over the web and so much talented cinematography on display.
As incredible as this can sometimes be, I've always felt that viewers really identify with even the simplest of story lines. Over time I've tried to develop this with my own filmmaking as its both something I love doing and it also set my work apart from most in that industry. As I've now moved away from solely sports work I've continued to build on it. With the Rudimental film, as amazing as the wing suit shoot in Switzerland was, as a director I have now done that type of shoot for many years.
It's often the narrative side where I get excited and the shoot in London with our young actor Lewis was no exception. Due for release on September 3, Ground Control is the fourth album by multi-platinum dance band Rudimental. Ground Control can be pre-ordered here. Full track listing is below:. Dark mode.

Afronaut Zu Hostess ft. Screen grab from YouTube RudimentalUk. The shoot took 3 days but they went back to the country 3 weeks after to re-shoot missing footage.
Scouting for the location was also a headache when the local production company they commissioned seemed to be "actively avoiding all slum areas," said Cole. Despite the setbacks with "Not Giving In," Cole says he plans to come back to the Philippines to film more videos.
Been overwhelmed by the response to the video from everybody, its sic been quite moving. Really want to get back out there to make a longer form version of this story. Stand up the Pinoy massive! The video posted on YouTube has generated more than half a million hits since it was posted on October
