Sting

was once trapped inside a tumbling box with this bird on the outside. For the inside shots, the box with a glass front, camera, lights and air conditioning was mounted off the back of a truck which had hydraulic rams to set the tilt and hydraulic motors to make it spin. It was filled with 500 kg of silicone glass and a rock god whilst it spun. Shot over a pit in La Victorine studios, Nice.

The exterior box, below, spun with a gimbel to give a truly sickly motion. Once again thanks to Bob Hollow and his fine team for making it all happen. Shot over a pit in Ealing.
