Nikon

Architecture Photography with man as abstraction - Misleading lines - was the guideline of an advertising campaign for Nikon Europe. Our athlete Benni Grams was part of this campaign. Together with the photographer Max Leitner he traveled to Warsaw for a series of pictures in the urban environment for the London advertising agency Brands2Life. An interesting challenge that required a lot of creativity and physical exertion.

Ninja Warrior 2017

Also in 2017 Benni competed at Ninja Warrior Germany and impressed the spectators with his „inhuman“ performances. With the best time of just 2:25 min in the semi-final, he draws into the final. In the final, Benni also impresses the spectators, with great speed and  races over the obstacles with a playful lightness. The presenters Frank Buschmann and Jan Köppe personally describe Benni as "disguised cat" and give comments like "what is going on here???" and " that is inhuman!

Jack Reacher 2 Premiere

Im Oktober 2016 fand die Filmpremiere von „Jack Reacher 2“ in Berlin im Sony Center statt. Einige unserer Athleten hatten die Ehre, live auf dem roten Teppich vor Stars und Sternchen aus Hollywood und Deutschland zu performen. Das Team lieferte eine spektakuläre Performance ab, die Tom Cruise und Cobie Smulders sogar aus nächster Nähe beobachten wollten und sich direkt in die erste Reihe neben unsere Choreographen Enis Maslic und Pascal Bueb platzierten. Eine spezielle 360 Grad Kamera übertrug die Show live im Internet, so dass man mitten im Geschehen stehen und die Show aus jedem Winkel von zu Hause aus miterleben konnte. Auf unseren 4 Parkour Obstacles zeigten unsere Athleten was sie drauf haben – und das nicht umsonst: Actionprofi Tom Cruise war sichtlich beeindruckt und zollte allen Athleten persönlichen Respekt. 
 Wie immer hatte unser Team trotz harter Arbeitstage auch eine Menge Spaß. Das Showteam bestand aus Benjamin Grams, Endijs Miscenko, Marc Busch, Matthias Mayer, Silke Sollfrank und unserem guten Freund Jannis Schauer. Und auch unser Kameramann Alexander Kehrwald leistete großartige Arbeit mit sportlichen Aufnahmen und behind-the-secene Material, dass man hier sehen kann: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmfdJ6LlmWU

Parkour Show for FC Bayern Basketball and Audi

The second home match of the FC Bayern Basketball against ALBA Berlin took place in the Audi Dome in Munich, on Sunday the 16th octobre 2016. Our athletes Marc, Benni, Andi, Endijs, Matthias and Raffi were there and performed a spectacular halftime show. Its goal was to draw attention on the new Audi Q2 and of course to entertain the crowd. With 9000 sports-mad people on the tribunes, our performance was rewarded with a hell of an atmosphere, cheering and pure fun for our athletes. Our cameraman Alex Kehrwald caught a few glimpses of the spectacle. You can see the video her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpp29kWs_to

Horizon Zero Dawn – Guerrilla Games

  Client: Guerrilla Games Type of project: Motion Capture As an Europe-wide casting-call for MotionCapture attracted the attention of the Parkour scene and was looking for a powerful, fast and elegant character, our athlete Benni Grams was able to convince Guerrilla Games' producers with his extraordinary abilities. Benni becomes the main Game Charakter "Aloy" in Horizon Zero Dawn. In the well-known film studio "Audiomotion Studios" in Oxford, he brings the character to life with his powerful, fast and precise movements. With several sensors on the body his movements were recorded and thus digitized. Now, the digitized version of Benni Grams captivates millions of players worldwide and takes them through the world of Zero Dawn.   Horizon Zero Dawn has won the Best Original Game award at the Game Critics Awards and 2016 the Gamescom Award in the Best Preview category. Here are some excerpts from the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuhu4RuPsus

events4brands

For the agency events4brands from Hamburg, Ashigaru staged a brilliant Parkour and action show, with spectacular jumps, martial-arts and chases. The main idea of the show was "good versus evil" and that the viewers should have the feeling of being in the middle of the action. It was easy to get the audience excited by our athletes Enis Maslic, Aaron Martin, Julian Würzler, Matthias Meyer, Benjamin Grams, Andreas Wöhle and our choreographer Pascal Bueb. You can find a summary of the show here: https://vimeo.com/124323655

Audi Kitzrace

The Streif (or the Hahnenkamm-race) is a household name for every skiing fan. We were in Kitzbühel at the event and had the honour to fascinate the special guests at the soiree after the race with our very own passion Parkour & Freerunning. As the motto for the event was "The great gatsby", our athletes performed in the style of the 20s - with smoking and bow tie of course. It was blast for us to watch the spectacular race on the afternoon and especially to introduce our own sport to these sport-enthusiastics. The british actor Luke Evans, who was among the spectators (among others, as Arnold Schwarzenegger), took his time to congratulate on our performance and ask us some questions about Parkour. You can see little edit of our show here: https://vimeo.com/189654841  

Bardusch

The Bardusch product commercial was a challenge, but also a great opportunity to grow. Originally we were only planned as Parkour athletes, but we could convince the customer with creative ideas and a good network - so we produced the whole project, from concept to execution. We had an ambitious goal, and to fulfill our expectations we had to rent an old hall, transformed it into a parkour park, flooded it and used some pyrotechnic to create the necessary atmosphere. We needed a cameraman, who was experienced in filming Parkour and could work under extraordinary circumstances. Thats why we chose Frank Sauer and Sebastian Linda, who impressed already with Red Bull video projects. Andi, Enis and Caro werde in front of the camera and introduced the Bardusch products in action. They literally went through fire for that. The prohject wouldn´t have been possible, if it wasn´t for our team. We worked as producers, building team, stuntmen, infront of the camera and as behind-the-scenes filmer. We are especially proud of the endresult, that can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEjoCtQc38o Das Video ist für jeden interessant, der gerne mal einen Einblick bekommen möchte, wie wir arbeiten.
