A bit different to the normality on here, but this is storming its way through some of the viral charts with a booming trend at the moment, and rightly so.
This guy is a serious mover for his age! He is packing some rhythm, originality AND an entourage.
I know this is not promoting a product or brand, but I thought it was worth a watch, if only for the entertainment factor.
If I can move like him when im a grandpa, ill be a happy man!
Sharing similar aspects to the “Piano staircase” by the Fun Factory, the Fast lane by Volkswagen is designed to offer a slightly bizarre public experiment. Set on a staircase heading down to an underground train station, a bright orange slide has been built to offer people a question.
The question is who will step up to the fast lane and take the plunge down the slide, instead of the normality of the stairs and conformity of society.
The experiment is launched on the back of Volkswagens Social Media campaign combined with the new Polo GTI, as it joins the online world with a Facebook fan page and a twitter account. This step up to the online media world is more than welcome by Volkswagen who produce some top quality automobiles. Its a clever viral, that whilst lacks complete originality still has some great aspects, the main being that it is carried out in a social environment where the public are unaware of what is happening. This has proved time and time again to be a winning formula for viral campaigns.
There are two incredibly talented people behind this. Firstly the world champion free diver, Guillaum Nery. But secondly and certainly not least the camera women, Julie Gauiter, who produced some fantastic shots but also carried out the filming on “breath hold”.
The legendary Deans Blue Hole in the Bahamas is a well known and epic location in the diving world. The pair wanted to create an artistic impression of how the two sports of free diving and base jumping could link together for some great filming.
Now the free divers do not claim to have actually reached the bottom without tanks, nor to have completed the shots in one swift take. This what some of the criticisms have been saying as reviews, but the divers never claimed to do that. More importantly the fact still remains that even if it was done in a few takes, they still went an incredibly significant way down, without tanks, without any equipment and stil managed to pull off a great short film thats being spread around like wildfire at the moment.
However you watch it, its still so impressive and I think the camera shots are fantastic. They are two highly talented people. Take a look and see if you can hold your breath….these guys can do it for a scary amount of time.
