Shooting with Sebastien Foucan

It was really amazing to get a phone call from a certain producer running FreerunningTV.com, a new website dedicated to high quality videos of freerunning.



Two days later I was shooting with the man himself, Sebastien Foucan (who freerunning fans already know, and everyone else has probably seen doing insanely amazing stuff in the chase sequence of Casino Royal with Daniel Craig hot on his tail).

We discussed a lot about Freerunning having a more centred, philosophical, thinking side to it. Of course, there are amazing tricks and amazing kinetics, but I wanted to make a video unlike other freerunning videos I've seen so far. I think it worked. You can see the trailer below, and the full video on FreeRunningTV.com

I shot it all semi-handheld... essentially I bolted the camera to a tripod and used the tripod itself as a handheld stabiliser. Not ideal, and a Steadicam Pilot would be nice, but it worked very well.
