Drive2Extremes - Taycan Cross Turismo X Johnny FPV

And here it is! Super stoked to finally share my latest collaboration with @Porsche - Drive2Extremes. Taycan Cross Turismo x Johnny FPV. Shot in -30 +30 conditions from Levi, Finland to Liwa Desert, UAE.
This project was epic to say the least. We shot the film on two identical tracks (on opposite sides of the world). The desert track in Abu Dhabi was built completely from scratch, a perfect 1:1 replica of the one in Finland. Mirroring the two created a really interesting contrast of environments, and gave us the ability to seamlessly merge the two locations together in the edit. The goal was to create a piece with 100% seamless transitions.
On the technical side of things, we wanted to develop drones that could effortlessly carry larger cinema cameras. Losing any essence of true FPV agility and performance would be a big failure. Proud to say this was achieved. We shot the entire film on the RED Komodo and FreeFly Wave camera (with the exception of flying through the window, GoPro).

I actually think this is the best FPV video i have ever seen
-
I'm blown away... You are so incredibly talented! The fact that you were able to pull of the EXACT same shots in two different locations is beyond me. All of your angles and movements are so precisely matched that I literally thought the car was fake. This video proves not only your skills, but how far ahead you are in the FPV-scene.

THROUGH THE CAR WINDOW??? ::MINDMELTED::
-
In all your Videos of FPV i've always wanted you to fly through the car, and you finally did. What a Legend
-
These transitions are on another level 🔥
-
I don't even have words for this. As an FPV pilot...trying to figure out how to fly and film this with a huge dron + camera...seems insane. Shot through window..even with a Gopro that is super tricky. I am glad, happy and proud that you are taking this, as the song says, to another level. This shows the rest of us, how much we have to learn, and how the possibilities are endless. Thank you, Johnny!
-
Saying these transitions are godlike is an understatement.
-
Upon seeing it fly through the window, my immediate thought was… “it’s gotta be real. Please don’t disappoint us, Johnny.” Thank you for not disappointing us.
-
I'd pay a few bucks to see a mini documentary on the making of this, and the process planning & gear behind it. Amazing work. 🌟
-
This is sooooo good and unreal that it looks CGI
-
This is beyond spectacular! Beautiful cinematography, god-level flying skill, perfect editing, amazing concept!
-
This was INSANE!!! The song said it best...this was on another level. I'm curious how many cameras were damaged in the making of this video lol. I feel like getting that drone through a car window mid drift is the equivalent to a hole in one. Even the most talented people out there have to get lucky to pull that off. And rocking through all that dirt...I'm surprised you don't have a lens cleaner guy in the credits haha.

Could you narrate my life in FPV?
-
This was sick. I'd love to see a BTS of the shoot and edit.
-
This is INSANE!
-
I finally found the talent behind this ad, the genius, the seamless transition between -30 and +30 degree celsius weather! at some stage, I was convinced that the car was not real. I know it means nothing, but you earned my subscription due to this masterpiece. My dude, you are amazing!

Your talent is off the charts man…. with and without goggles….. respect !🙌🙌🙌
