#ThrowbackThursday: A close call. 🚁 ⁣ ⁣ “In 1975, as Jim Freeman and I were halfway through shooting 'To Fly', our first IMAX documentary, we took the summer off and signed on to direct and shoot the action sequences for a Hollywood feature film called 'Sky Riders'. ⁣ ⁣ The film’s star, James Coburn, wanted us to film a special sequence of him rescuing people from a helicopter that he grabbed and forced to land by gunshot. The only way we could figure out how to get the shot of James grabbing hold of the helicopter skid was for me to handhold the 35mm camera as the helicopter flew over Coburn and my head.⁣ ⁣ The dangerous stunt was photographed by my girlfriend Barbara for insurance purposes. Fortunately, everything went well, and the sequence was a highlight of the film.” – @GregMacGillivray ⁣ #filmmaker #filmmaking #film #cinematography #director #cinema #photography #movie #cinematographer #actor #movies #filmmakers #films #videography #behindthescenes #filmproduction #producer #videographer #filmphotography #indiefilm #videoproduction #cinematic #photographer #setlife #TBT
