I just saw a name of Carl Boenish in the movie, was he the camera man? Anyone got more info about that?
Every time I see Carls name in a movie on youtube I make a backup copy right away, because most of the times those movies dissapear pretty quick do to the lame fucking rules of copy writes :P
Excuse my poor spelling, I'm a bit drunk, ok, shit faced to be honest. whatever :P

Carl Boensish seems to use in his films all the same music as was used in the film Clockwork Orange.

The wind sounds are very eerie.

One more, great stuff

In the first movie- "1980 first jumps" some jumpers had very large and baggy suits..Too much drag for a good tracking I think..It seems to me they got little separation from the wall at pulling time..At 7:26 one can notice some kind of the PC hesitation ..

Epic movie, brave people..

I would say it is not the suits, but more the tracking positions. You can still get quite good track with a baggy freefly suit.

right, but also some of them went directly almost head down for more seconds...

I've jumped in suits like that before on BASE jumps. They track pretty good. Those guys just had poor technique due to the new nature of BASE in those days.

I love how they were wearing altimeters.

FTF !!
