Friends, check out this strong spot and the story of Felix Baumgartner's Red Bull Stratos jump! Super Bowl XLVIII is taking place today and GoPro has made an amazing commercial for it that will air during the game. The spot shows the exciting moment when parachutist Felix Baumgartner leaves the safe capsule and begins his jump from a height of 39 kilometers above the earth. Although the GoPros commercial is only 30 seconds long, it develops an enormous emotional impact when Baumgartner speaks to his team shortly before the jump. The audience gets a crystal clear impression of the earth below from the parachutist's perspective. Simply breathtaking and fantastic.
The whole world is watching. I'm coming home now.
