The Art of Flight – Trailer
On 23, Feb 2011 | No Comments | In News, Videos | By Lisa
No introduction necessary:
We’ll give you a minute to compose yourself.
The Art of Flight is the mind-melting work of Brain Farm Cinema (the producers of That’s It, That’s All), Quiksilver & Red Bull Media House due out this September. The film follows Travis Rice, John Jackson, Mark Landvik, Scotty Lago, Jake Blauvelt, Nicolas Muller, Gigi Ruf, DCP and Pat Moore as they progress the sport of snowboarding to unimaginable levels. Shot in Jackson Hole, Aspen, Alaska, British Columbia, & Patagonia, viewers can also expect to be blown away by the epic filming locations.
As if the multitude of rider talent wasn’t enough, Brain Farm’s advanced camera technologies capture unbelievably high quality footage. Thanks to their Cineflex HD, watching this on the big screen will be as close to riding shotgun in the Red Bull helicopter as you can get. If this was just a teaser, we can’t even begin to imagine what to expect in September.
