Or so they claim. Regardless, Teton Gravity Research do it again. They have a knack for giving an outrageous gravity to the simply cool, so when they take on something that is truly epic… well, eyes pop, jaws drop, and minds blow — brains EVERYWHERE.
And the Himalayas are epic (excepting that whole poop shoot fiasco). In fact, they an epic proportion of epic. If there was a plural of epic, the range would be that. Plus a couple more epics. You get the point.
According to the crew, they filmed this while on location for Jeremy Jones’ recent foray into Nepal where he was attempting a first descent of Shangri-La Spine Wall (which is gnarly in and of itself). As the Vimeo description goes: “The aerial cinema experts at Teton Gravity Research release the first ultra HD footage of the Himalayas shot from above 20,000 ft. with the GSS C520 system, the most advanced gyro-stabilized camera system in the world. Filmed from a helicopter with a crew flying from Kathmandu at 4,600 ft. up to 24,000 ft. on supplemental oxygen, these are some of the most stable, crisp, clear aerial shots of these mountains ever released, which include Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, and Lhotse.”
Cool.
Then you have the epic soundtrack over the epic views of the epic range. It is the sort of edit or film you watch and directly after you drink tea and read a book ’cause you want more for yourself — you know what we mean?
