I’m sure a lot of you have seen the original balloon bowl stunt with Matt Beach a couple of years back. It was pretty epic and he surprisingly was able to skate perfectly fine with thousands of balloons engulfing him. And it now seems as if we have some sort of a balloon rematch going down with Bob Burnquist.

Skateboard cinematographer extraordinaire Ty Evans is the man behind the lens filming the whole deal. What I’m hearing it’s for a Aero candy bar commercial.

The progress is looking pretty darn awesome. Even the color of the balloons they chose is interesting. At times it looks so surreal that it almost looks like CGI, only it’s not.

All in all it’s a pretty cool visual effect and what’s expected of Bob to do, looks pretty tough. You can follow the video updates they put up through their YouTube channel. It’s definitely something unexpected and interesting to watch. It’s cool, uplifting, fresh, new, and Ty Evans is behind the lens so you know it’s going to be rad.

I know that the behind the scenes camera you see shooting everything isn’t really that great. But you can bet that the actual footage is probably being shot in HD, on an hvx200 or who knows maybe even on a full on Panavision camera.

Pretty entertaining if you ask me.
