Only the settings a nd perspectives change along this continuum. In this film by Brett Rheed er and Harrison Mendel\, the sequence of individual movements are all li nked together as a cohesive collection\, with each maneuver unique yet f orming a coherent visual journey across ever-changing landscapes by main taining a locked perspective. Creating this visual trick of relentless f low and seamless transitions from one scene to the next was a technical challenge for both rider and cinematographer\, and it required intense p lanning and dedication from the entire team to work through these proble ms.
