Sunshine Superman Page #2
New heading entitled The Gypsy Moths.
He was working at Hughes Aircraft.
And he got the opportunity
to do Gypsy Moths.
And that was a big MGM production.
I was asked by MGM
to be in charge of the aerial free-fall
filming sequences.
John Frankenheimer,
the director who created
the excitement of Grand Prix,
now captures the drama and spectacle
of the death-defying game called
skydiving in The Gypsy Moths.
So he went and took the Gypsy Moths job
and that was the end
of his electrical engineering career.
I didn't know how I wanted
to film the aerial sequences.
I had to experiment
and try all kinds of things.
And I had to find really young guys
who were willing to do that.
Pull it! Pull it!
Carl was an innovator. He was
probably the only one in Hollywood,
or the area, that was known
for free-fall photography.
Background of Carl Boenish
and his films.
Carl Boenish's early start.
He has been able to put off going back
to work two months at a time
such that for over the last ten years,
he's never had to go back to work,
and is accustomed to making film
payments instead of car payments.
As it's worked out in the past,
about two years
to make one 15-minute film.
If you were jumping with Boenish,
it was expected
that you'd wear a helmet-mounted camera
or possibly two.
Carl's main focus was to share
the wealth. Share that feeling.
To share the feeling with people
that didn't understand it,
that thought we were absolutely crazy
to do something like this.
But once you see it
and see the beauty of it,
I think people tend to understand
the motive.
I've been skydiving for 18 years now
and I've been filmmaking
for just as long.
Primarily, I consider myself a filmmaker
first and a skydiver second.
So whatever he did, he wanted to capture
on film the best way he could.
I think he wanted to show the humanity,
the freedom, that is felt
when you are pushing the envelope of
what the human spirit can accomplish.
Yosemite is beautiful.
It's breathtaking.
Many people cry when they first see it.
It's beyond their expectation,
beyond their experience.
Yosemite National Park.
And my job was protection.
So protecting the park from the people
and the people from the park
and the people from the people.
Where did you get the inclination
to jump off a cliff?
Well, this comes from making
1500 parachute jumps over 15 years
and becoming so proficient at it
that you wonder,
well, what else is out there?
El Capitan.
3,600 feet of polished granite
rising from California's
Yosemite Valley.
For climbers, its vertical ascent
is one of the great challenges
