How To Film In The 4th Dimension | BTS Tour De Flat w/ Matthias Dandois
Take a behind the scenes look at how Flatland BMXer Matthias Dandois and film director Christian Rigal filmed ’Tour de Flat.' The technique they invented together is revolutionary: it’s a derivative from the stop motion. It consists in repeating the same succession of tricks in different landscapes bringing a vectorial approach to the image, in 4 dimensions: static shots, traveling shots, circular shots and drone shots. Everything was filmed with a small crew and materials: one camera operator, one drone and one electronic single-wheeled board.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
