MY WORK
I skydive with motion picture cameras for films, television, and commercials. I also help my clients coordinate skydivers, aircraft, and locations. 

COMPETITIVE EXPERIENCE
Most of my 13,000+ sky dives were dedicated to training as a camera flyer where I developed the muscle memory to fly aggressively while capturing a smooth and well framed image.

WHAT MAKES ME A GOOD CHOICE FOR YOUR PROJECT?
1. EXPERIENCE: I’ve been at this a long time and I understand choreography and storytelling in the air.
2. TRAINING: Thousands of jumps dedicated to becoming a world champion camera flyer.
3.
STRONG WORK ETHIC: We come ready to give our best, nothing less.

STORIES – A WORK IN PROGRESS  I’ve been in this business for over 20 years now.  The road to where I am today is paved with great adventures and great misadventures.  Overall, I’ve had an incredible career.  These articles are a window into my experiences around the world.


ROB HARRIS – Live while you live.  We met by chance on a dz I’d visit perhaps once a month. Freestyle was new and camera flyers talked about how challenging it was to follow….


DAYS LIKE THIS – 5:30 AM: Malaysia, 6000 feet above the ground in an A-Star helicopter. We were in our third day of filming a skydiving sequence for an Indian movie called “Don”…..


SKYDIVING CARS – To date, I believe I’ve filmed over 200 skydiving vehicles.  Flying with Cars and Objects has become a specialty.  I know a lot about making them fly…..


FLYING FOR FOOD
 (my job)  – In this article, I’ll try to give you an idea of what goes into bidding, planning, and filming for a production, and some of the things that can happen along the way.

AStar Helicopter Crash
INTO BLACK – HELICOPTER CRASH  … the pilot took us down low for a cool shot. out of the corner of my eye i saw a glint of sun from a cable strung across the field.


FILMING A TIRE – Our problem out the gate was not knowing a thing about how tires fall at terminal velocity….


FLYING IMAX – The location was spectacular. The shoreline is carved into a tangle of inland waterways and our drop zone was a small island with palm trees and green grass surrounded by water and bridges


CATCHING A PLANE – The producers called to see how things were going with “my” project and all I could tell them was that we had no helicopter camera, no drogue, and a dust storm.


MTV BASE – When I learned to B.A.S.E. jump, I did it on MTV Sports….


PEPSI “GOOSE” – When we had the number one rated Super Bowl ad 🙂
