This 12-minute 3D-360 documentary film follows three-time Cliff Diving World Series medalist Jonathan Paredes in an immersive adventure, from his local diving spots in the Cenotes of Mexico to the competition finals of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, which visits 8 iconic locations including in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, off a 14th century bridge in Bosnia, and from a cliff into a glacial lake in Switzerland.

In cliff diving, this is pushing the limits of the sport. Precision is everything as divers enter the water at over 90km an hour, and where misjudging the angle of entry by a few degrees can be deadly. This cutting-edge VR production used a custom camera rig that was suspended by a drone, then dropped at the same speed the diver entered the water. There were a lot of broken cameras (even more than The Soloist). Viewers are transported to beautiful locations and experience intense freefall excitement.
