Welcome to Sky Science - Skydiving

Seconds to impact was a documentary about BASE jumpers, We were employed to film various scenes which included completing 13 BASE jumps while filming

Produced & Directed by: Lol Lovett

Shot in the UK and mainland Europe in the summer of 2000, Seconds to Impact follows an international group of BASE jumpers as they hurl themselves off buildings, bridges, cliffs and other lofty perches.

A split-second mistake could prove fatal - which becomes horrifically apparent in this fascinating observational documentary. We follow Rob, Jon, Dave, Terry and Allan in their search for thrills and occasional spiritual high.

From London's Park Lane Hilton hotel to a kilometer-high granite crag in Norway, this is a unique record of why people risk their lives to participate in extreme, and sometimes illegal, sports.

Seconds To Impact is directed by Emmy Award winning Lol Lovett. The use of film, a range of tape cameras, and creative postproduction image manipulation ensures unusually high visual impact footage.

 

For Notting Hill we designed & manufactured a custom built costume safety harness for Julia Roberts, at Sky Science no job is to small.

Directed By: Roger Michell

We designed and manufactured a custom built glider emergency bail out harness and parachute for Robbie who was doing a documentary on gliders and needed a harness that would fit and provide a safe deployment. At Sky Science safety takes priority.

Designed and manufactured a hidden safety harness that fitted under skin tight lycra clothing for the stunt department.

We designed, manufactured and tested the SAS style safety harness and abseil equipment, made from make believe shoe laces

The Abseil equipment was unique and had never been used before, as the rope uncoiled from the individual instead of trailing below him before descending.

The you bet challenge we took part in was for 5 skydivers to individually leave the aircraft at 8,000ft, form a 5 man star, break the start and deploy our parachute and perform a 5 man CRW stack and then break the stack and land individually on to a moving lorry

We were successful right up until the 5 man hit the lorry and fell off.

When Philip Scofield did a Tandem skydive for the show, we had the opportunity to do an AFF jump with Gordon the Gofer

We built Gordon a skydiving harness and jumped from 12,000ft while he was filmed doing his first skydive squeeking all the way down.

We were contracted to supply the parachute systems for filming the parachute jump into battle, the requirement was for the old type military parachute systems but built to the stricter safety deigns expected for modern day parachutists.

We designed the harness and container systems to look original but with greater safety features
