We strapped a $25k red cinema camera to my friends head and skydived with it to create this surreal video. Shot at 5k 120fps while falling head down at 170mph

edit: To clarify, the video was shot at 120fps but conformed down to 30fps to get the 4x slo-mo.
Also, safari does not support 4k, use Brave or Chrome to view in 4k.

edit 2: Some people were asking about wallpaper, here’s two i’ve made before. One is from a different jump we did.

Does skydiving give you the same balls-in-throat feeling like a roller coaster does?
Edit: I appreciate the comments/info, have made up my mind: the next time I’m visiting paradise (Hawaii), going to make the jump!
The “floatyness” you get from the awesome camera, coupled with the music and your friends smooth moves and bushy mustaches give this video the most hilariously awkward homoerotic feel.

Isn’t terminal velocity around 125mph?
How many times did the camera over heat?
This is so rad! Damn that plane falling away so slow. I always wonder, how do you keep everything in focus? Everything is crisp, 30ft – 4ft. High f-stop? Just lock down focus at 10-15 feet?
This is visually superb. Love everything about it!
I really enjoyed flipping my phone over multiple times to get the different camera angles. You guys had it right with the upside down or, “earth is up” angle, but it’s fun to play with. Super awesome video.
Play it at 2x.
I slept in til twelve thirty then had a hot dog. Probably gonna take a nap and let that digest, take it easy you know
Rep the Sidewalks and Skeletons /r/witchhouse we in here
Is there a genre name for this kind of music?
I’m super stoned right now and I loved this video..
The best part was when the 2 guys looked like they were doing sexy moves as if it is a music video and they are being seductive.
One thing that might improve this kind of video is having clothes that dont get caught in the wind and flap around like that. It’s very “grounding” (no pun intended) to see the physical effect of the high speed and wind. If it weren’t for that, i think the video might be even more surreal and magical. It would definitely look fake, but i think in this circumstance it would be a good thing.
Hey! As the creator of the music (Sidewalks and Skeletons) – I just wanted to say THANK YOU for crediting me in the description. I really appreciate that. I can’t count the amount of times I’ve not been given credit so this is really refreshing. Much love <3
Do you wear helmets in case you fall
A 25k dollar camera and video shot in 5k at 120 fps and unfortunately most people will watch on their phone while taking a dump
