Last summer my good friend Mic Rogers asked me to stunt coordinate this BMW viral video for some producer friends working for BMW in Germany. We went to Cape Town South Africa to shoot and the video was a complete success. Hitting 14 million views in the first week. I brought out Rhys Millen, Rich Rutherford, Daijero Yoshihara, Samuel Hubinette and Conrad Grunwald to drive. Once we all landed in Cape Town we had a week to prep and rehearse as we only had 1 and a half days of street closure to shoot which is not much time at all for all we wanted to shoot. Here is the video and the behind the scenes video and photos of how we shot the video.
Is it possible to make a drift-choreography in a rotary traffic? We took some hollywood stunt driver and added the same amount of BMW M235i cars. The result: About 90 seconds of driving pleasure and smoking tyres. Please note that all these driving-scenes are real. To avoid accidents, we had to block the road.
It took some days of preparation to make the Epic Driftmob (watch the main clip here: http://youtu.be/vz2rAgXjkCA ). Have a look behind the scenes to see how the professional stunt driver like Riley Harper, Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Conrad Grunewald, Rich Rutherford, or Dai Yoshihara prepare for this event.
