Flying Through the Highline Seasons

Setting up new side by side highlines in our hometown, I immediately saw the potential for lining up a double leg fly through. We first set up the shot during the last colors of fall. I instructed the slackliners where to position themselves so that the flight path was unobstructed. We nailed it the first couple of tries, and ended on a crash. We came back out during the winter to try and one up the shot. This time there were quite a few more collisions before we nailed it, mainly due to it snowing and the higher winds. The ending was planned to be a catch and release, but as the slackliner caught the cinewhoop, he fell backwards onto his leash, managing to hold onto the drone before I relaunced! To create the transition through the legs, I masked it out frame by frame and lined up the shots to match movement. Filmed in 4k 4:3 60fps on the Hero 10 for the GoPro MDC.
