Parkour videos usually focus on the visible performance. They show us dazzling moves of the kind that would bring viewers to their feet if parkour were a spectator sport. In “Free,” Mobile moviemaker Cassius Rayner gives us a different perspective. He arranges for the athlete JA to take us inside, so that we can appreciate the motivation and joy of defying gravity.

About the Production

“Free” was shot using an iPhone 12 Pro Max with Zhiyun Smooth 5 gimbal, a Beastgrip pro rig with 2 x telephoto lens, and Moment ND filters
