Frontier Productions “The Science Of Extreme Sports” Series Introduction
“The Science Of Extreme Sports“, years in the making, Frontier Productions is soon to release this television series that takes a profound look into various high risk sports and the athletes that have dedicated themselves to control the dangerous elements that surround them.
Genre: Sports, Adventure, Science
Who: Each program follows a top professional extreme sports athlete, chosen carefully to present their extreme sport experience and lifestyle with accuracy, intelligence and interest. They are real people, with unique characters and personalities, who are experts in their field.
Where: We find these people where they are most comfortable…on the highest mountains, in the deepest seas, riding the biggest waves, high above the Earth, harnessing the power of the wind, and in an undersea realm where the hunter may become the hunted.
Extreme Point of View: We put the viewer in the mind and body of the adventurer using POV cameras, live-audio, and extreme-angle, multi-camera acquisition that delivers an intimate and exhilarating experience and draws the viewer deep into the picture.
Synopsis:
Series opening narration: “Nature’s beauty. Nature’s Fury. To know her intimately, you must experience her extremes. There are no rules, no boundaries, and no time-outs. Action heroes in the flesh, those who dare to push the limits, reap the rewards. But the bottom line however is that living this close to the edge, an error can prove fatal. From high above the Earth to deep beneith the sea, prepare to dive into the action and be as close as you can get…The Science of Extreme Sports.”
Using story-driven, first person narrative, the series allows the viewer to be guided by the athletes in some of the world’s most remote and extreme locations. Each program delivers spectacular eye-catching imagery, packaged with dynamic soundtrack, graphics and 3-D animations. Presented are scientific explanations of the physiology, physics and technology involved, as well as the theory, mechanics and skills that are required to safely perform these “crazy” activities. Without this knowledge, in all cases, the untrained would quickly die attempting to do any of these feats, therefore they are justly deemed extreme.
