Walking on Air

Joel and Remi doing a bit of slacklining practice before heading off to the mountains where grass becomes rock. I just happened to have my new toy on hand and took some vision. A tip for those thinking about walking the talk you don’t watch your feet or the webbing, apparently you focus your eyes on something eye level near the end of the webbing and let your balance tell you where to put your feet.

These questions are particularly relevant as the government considers new funding models for both film and television.
