  1. I think basically it should work with the Red Epic!
    Problem is that we didn't have the time and the budget to test things or build a custom configuration for that.. So we just used a well known setup for us..
    @DSE: Did you use the epic for freefall?
    I think especially the new Red Epic M should be perfect for this..

    I have to deliver a ballpark calculation to the agency, and so they will get something..



    Depending on how many jumpers you need around the ball, I can get it done for $20k if you provide the cameras for the jump, $25k if I need to supply my own cameras, and it will take 6 weeks from when the check clears until you have the footage.



    Thanks a lot Dave, that helps..

    BTW: Is this legal?

  3. Not me, but the "creatives" at the agency.. I, as a skydiver, would never think of something like this, makes no sense to me.. I think the visuals are not good enough for a tv commercial. You would have to bring a lot of light there and shoot in highspeed, etc.

    I thought maybe a Vladiball-Style solution would help.. or maybe the discoball breaks in half and there is a small drogue attached (fired by an aad).
    Good point with the mirrors... Maybe wrap the ball in an adhesive foil, so you eleminate that.

    I am sure if you have enough time for testing there is a way to make it happen. Just wanted to know from here, because there might be someone here who did something similar. I have to deliver a ballpark calculation to the agency, and so they will get something..

  4. Hello,

    Disco Ball night jump. Has this been done (e.g. in the crazy 70ies or maybe even Wally himself)?

    How can this be done safely?
    Where can this be done safely?

    A big discoball in the middle, flying people around it, light sparks all over the people.. Maybe even laserlight or stroboscopic?
    Sorry for the stupid questions, but I work in the advertising business and I am the only skydiver in my company, so I have to ask this ;)

    Thanks,
