PRODUCTIONS
For the Levis commercial, we jumped over downtown Los Angeles to get the point of
view of the jeans and sneakers over the city, and for a shot of a parachutist landing next
to a "Levis wide open" sign. Jumpers were me, Jim Wallace, and Harry
O'Connor. One of the cool things about this project was that Propaganda / Michael
Bay Productions arranged to close a couple blocks of Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles.
For our jumps, we were taken to altitude in a Jet Ranger helicopter. Gliding
between the skyscrapers was a blast. People inside the buildings were pinned against
the glass waving to us. There was some turbulance, but conditions were otherwise
about perfect.
