BLOOD ROAD

Feature Film

Conform / Visual Effects / Finishing

Blood Road follows the journey of ultra-endurance mountain bike athlete Rebecca Rusch and her Vietnamese riding partner, Huyen Nguyen, as they pedal 1,200 miles along the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail through the dense jungles of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Their goal: to reach the crash site and final resting place of Rebecca’s father, a U.S. Air Force pilot shot down over Laos some 40 years earlier.

During this poignant voyage of self discovery, the women push their bodies to the limit while learning more about the historic ‘Blood Road’ they’re pedaling and how the Vietnam War shaped their lives in different ways.

Caul Media (a production company co-owned by SDM owner Jeremy Hunt) was given a clean slate to create a series of unique dance films for the Swisher Sweets Artist Project. SDM came in for post and created a unique visual style and look that highlighted the dancer rather than just filming moves. We think it turned out amazing.

The latest insanity from Red Bull Media House is a visually stunning piece that features eight disciplines of aerial sports converging over the Fisher Towers in Moab, Utah. SDM was tasked with bringing everything into a cohesive visual package. The challenge of combining multiple camera formats shot in both spherical and anamorphic combined with VFX work (don’t worry, everything presented is real) creates a seamless viewing experience.

SDM also created a 6K 7:1 formatted version for the new Barco Escape projection format. Three screens wrap around the audience for a truly unique experience.

Jeremy here. This is a video that I directed with Bruce back in the days after 405 when we owned a shop called Strange Engine. A bit of trivia: In 405 I was wearing a Supersuckers hat (was and still am a big fan.) Later we were hired to direct a PSA in Seattle and it tuned out the creative director knew the band, so he got me tickets. Eddie and Ron recognized me at the show and we struck up a friendship. Bruce and I were looking for a new project to work on and this is the result.
