This very clever use of light and body shape simply wouldn’t be possible if any one member of the troupe wasn’t intimately aware of exact where the others were at all times. The also must hold the vision for what they are trying to achieve in their heads and trust their choreographer as they have no way to see the outcome in real time.
The trust a winchman-paramedic must have in his pilot and winch operator is complete. A mistake by either is likely to be life threatening. The clear goal, saving life, means that everybody on board knows exactly what they are trying to achieve.
A spectacular display, made possible only by trust, practice and understanding of members strengths and weaknesses.
This video only really introduces the problem that the teamwork was to solve. Working shifts night and day for four days, NASA flight controllers successfully brought home three astronauts after an explosion damaged their craft and diminished their oxygen supply. Described as “the most glorious failure in history”.
Everybody in this team knows their roles and carries them out flawlessly. Communication is as simple as possible, raised arm means “I’m done”
Described as the greatest try of all time. Constant re-evaluation of the situation by all team members to put themselves in the right place at the right time.
Creative and clever output, reliant totally on each member playing their part. Impressive performance by high school pupils.
I previously linked to The Dirtbag Diaries, one of my favourite podcasts. It’s creator, Fitz Cahall, has a new project, a web tv series following a group of adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts doing what they love. If it’s half as good as the Dirtbag Diaries, it should be worth a watch.
“From the creators of The Dirtbag Diaries and 49 Megawatts comes a new web television project following the five athletes through the course of a single season in Pacific Northwest. A veteran climber invents a new piece of gear. A pro snowboarder searches for a way to return to the roots of his sport. A boulderer returns from a series of injuries with new perspective. A family man goes to Whistler to test himself against the mountain biking’s elite. A young sea kayaker with a troubled past sets out to reinvent his sport.”

A very clever Guardian commercial. Are you really seeing the whole picture?
This video was created for the AARP U@50 video contest and placed second. It is based on the Argentinian Political Advertisement “The Truth” by RECREAR.
My heart rate rises and my stomach gets butterflies just watching this video of Dana Kunze breaking the world high diving record. Watch for the vertical pan showing the height of the tower, it seems like it will never end.
Two videos for the alpine climbers, or anyone who spends a significant amount of time in the outdoors.
Steve House goes through the gear he and partner Vince Anderson used on their alpine-style first ascent of the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat in September, 2005.
