While shooting our next short Doc on skydiver Dan BC we met Brad Patterson who told us about his idea to re-create Paul Bonds 1980 human sphere painting (the poster in the beginning of the video). Brad came up with an execution plan and assembled an incredible team that nailed it on the 2nd attempt. Welcome to the world of 3D Formations! The options are limitless and the team will be experimenting with new techniques at Skydive Perris.

Outside Your Element
“It is during the times I am far outside my element that I see and feel who I really am. I think that's what a comet is like, a comet is born in the outer realms of the universe. But it's only when it ventures close to earth that it releases the blazing "tail" behind it. That's why I enjoy hurling myself out into the unknown. Because it's during those scary moments, those unsure steps taken, that I am able to see that I'm like a comet hitting a new atmosphere: suddenly I illuminate magnificently. I discover a smile I didn't know I had, I uncover a feeling that I didn't know existed in me, I see myself." '

Perspective
Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.
