How did an hour film their segment tonight on free solo climber Alex Honnold For this type of harmful and different assignment, just the best would do.
First, a primer: Free solo climbing may be the purest type of climbing there's. Climbers use no ropes or tools of anykind, save perhaps a chalk bag to combat moisture plus some rubber climbing footwear. Very couple of climbers ever "graduate" for this level, mostly for that apparent reason, that as being a terrible dying if something, anything is going wrong. You need to note this isn't "free climbing," that involves safety gear as long as it doesn't help with the climb.
Filming this courageous activity requires a similarly courageous film crew, one that's outfitted with a number of automated cameras along with other assorted gear. an hour correspondent Lara Logan, producer Shaun Newton (a climber themself) and Peter Mortimer of Sender Films (that has designed a movie about Honnold) required about 2 days to setup the cameras and rigging utilized in the segment.
They also must be very careful around Honnold because he ascended, hence the special instructions about not altering location or position until he'd rose past. Errant gemstones or distractions might have meant dying for Honnold because he rose.
Watching Honnold climb a sheer high cliff face was unnerving enough for me personally, and that i was on the couch. I'm able to only imagine what it really was like for that an hour film crew. Begin to see the "overtime" segment that describes the way they place it all up within the video incorporated here. [an hour]
