Tom Sanders, a former Californian carpenter, is one of Hollywood´s most requested aerial-cinematographers. He has coordinated and filmed the great aerial stunt scenes of the past 4 James Bond movies and of the movie "Drop Zone".
OVER THE EDGE demonstrates the fascination and variety of skydiving in high quality pictures. This feature film earned multiple awards: Gold Camera Award in the sports section at the U.S. International Film and Video Festival and 3 Telly Awards.
Contents: After a nice Chinook-exit, 30 world-class-skydivers build the Olympic rings during freefall while wearing color-coordinated jumpsuits. Unique 40-way spiral formations, "ring-diving" throughout several star-formations, 8-way- and 16-way-night dives. BASE-jumps from fixed objects in all 4 categories (buildings, antennas, spans, earth): Incredible leaps from downtown skyscrapers, synchronized exits of 2, 3 and 4 jumpers from an antenna, mass-exits from the New River Gorge Bridge at West Virginia and breathtaking jumps from Salto Angel, the world´s tallest waterfall (3.212 ft) in the middle of Venezuela´s jungle. Back in the U.S., a lingerie-jump enjoys not only the skydiving community. Beautiful female skydivers show their skills during freefall with high-heels, silk & slip perfectly fitting together. After this, one record chases the next one: A 16-way all female stack, a 38-way CRW-formation, a 100-way freefall-formation with 2 points! After lots of skydives, we risk a little side trip into the world of hang-gliding: Kite-mounted cameras give us a wonderful view of flights through the beautiful nature of Yosemite National Park (California / USA). After dropping from a hot-air balloon at 10.000 ft above the Mojave desert, pilot John Heiney performs 52 consecutive loops with his kite - an other world record! Last not least we experience a dream jump onto the sacred Micronesian Island of Kayenel followed by a scuba descent into the shark-filled waters of Palau diving among sunken airplanes. Enjoy the short A day at the Races (filmed by Rande DeLuca based on an idea of B.J. Worth) as a free add-on.
