Mirage Boardshort 2 - Behind Mirage

In collaboration with Timeslice Films, Rip Curl took on an ambitious bullet-time campaign shoot in Malaysia's Sunway Lagoon Wavepool with lead surfers Mick Fanning, Stephanie Gilmore, Owen Wright and Matt Wilkinson.

The revolutionary campaign captures surfing in a way never seen before, with the final visuals baring more resemblance to a fight scene from the famous Matrix movies than a promotional surfing video.

The two-day rental of Sunway Lagoon Wavepool allowed Rip Curl and Timeslice to operate in a more stable environment than the open ocean offers. The Rip Curl surfers were repeatedly towed into the machine-controlled waves by Jetski and their operational space was determined by the 52-camera rig set up in the pool.

Awesome guys! I had to kinda laugh though. You guys are smart enough to know HOW to hook up a 50+ camera array and hook it up to the computers,etc....but not smart enough to plan for rain....or to have stuff around to cover up the cameras, computers, etc., in the event of rain. Sorta funny, really... But seriously, amazing stuff! Can't wait to see what you guys do with this in the future!
