Ford S-Max Filming

Core Photography had the privelidge of filming for the Ford S-Max promotional material.  The footage involved a Tandem Skydive from 10,000 ft, with freefall phototographer Mark Stone taking over the air to air filming section of the shoot.

The main focus of the shoot was the video.  After leaving the ground crew behind, we climbed to altitude with Chris Banbury (Tandem Student) and his instructor Ralph Mitchell.

After collecting the desired scenic shots and a few short one on one interviews, we were ready to complete the main part of the jump.

Freefalling at 135mph the tandem pair manouvered into position and the promotional video and photos were taken.

After over a mile of freefall the tandem pair deployed their parachute leaving Mark, the freefall cameraman to freefall away for a further 2,000ft, deploying his parachute at 3,000ft.

This was a chance to finish the film with some more subtle shots of floating down through the clouds, watching the sunsets and the dropzone from above.

The ground crew finished the shoot with some reaction from chris, and one very happy passenger.

The finished promotional material has been published on the S-Max's mini site at;
