Barbie: Epic Roadtrip_Hanglider Sequence

Here's a fun sequence for the Barbie: Epic Roadtrip film that I worked on a few years ago. Lots of research went into the aerial sequences. Basically studied a lot of hanglider go-pro shots and airplane crashing shots. and married them to my own cinematic and editing sense. It helps to have a 3D set to work from on a CG film. It opens up so many more options to have the environment to tumble around.
