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.

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….

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
