hackish 8 #4 October 20, 2011 I like the shot of the round opening. You can see the self-reefing they do on opening. I wonder how much was left of the vehicle after a 22fps impact with terra firma. -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #5 October 20, 2011 QuoteSome nice footage Who was the genius who decided to fly jumprun right into the sun? With one group exiting, they could have flown the other way and avoided the sun flare on the exit shot. I guess there were only like six camera guys on the jump, maybe I'm asking too much.

JohnMitchell 14 #10 October 20, 2011 I would have liked to see a drogue on it to stabilize it so the fliers could dock on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two more "extreme" commercials for the Sonic will be coming out besides this one in the near future. The car was destroyed as in it looked like a train had hit it. If I find the picture of it I'll post it. Very cool footage and commercial. As for the comment about the sun, depending on the wind at the moment, dropping on that location has to be along a specific run in heading to make use of the most potential landing area for the payload, especially one that is dumb."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,341 #12 October 20, 2011 Do you know what kind of prep work was done to the car? The way it fell, I'm going to guess no motor and/or weight added/removed to make it tumble instead of nose down. I'd love to see some of the "Behind the Scenes" photos or vid if they are willing. Joe or Greg commenting on it would be nice too. They chimed in for that music video a couple months ago."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

LouDiamond 1 #13 October 21, 2011 I'll defer to Greg or Joe to comment on the behind the scenes and prep as it is their baby.

gasson 0 #16 January 31, 2012 It was Sara and Steve Curtis and Ty Losey from Arizona Arsenal. Joe and I were filming. Last night we found out that an edit of the commercial is going to air in the second quarter of the Super Bowl. For those that just can't wait, you can see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuvoSw1TiJ8 Here are some other edits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpwiqBCSN10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-XPZH3OoOI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ealq_Tamdho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJD 0 #17 February 2, 2012 I love the little 'Modified Vehicle' disclaimer that pops up. Just in case, you know, you were planning to buy your own Chevy Sonic for the purpose of chucking it out of an aeroplane. "What? You mean the parachute doesn't come as standard?!"

Tell them expense is no option and you'd like the competition lines to match the paint job if it's an option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
