‘Imagine if you could be weightless in your daily life – flying from place to place, walking on water, skimming over the city and amongst crowds. I want to share this experience with everyone – the childhood dream of being Peter Pan, the ultimate feeling of freedom’ – Jean-Baptiste Chandelier.
Fly to the skies with Jean-Baptiste Chandelier as he is bringing us along for the ride on a jaw-dropping journey from the French Alps to South Africa's coast, and from the Azores islands to the Brasil's beaches, in his latest video short, 'Weightless.'
Experience the thrills of paragliding with a birds-eye view of some breathtaking locations. Feel the wind right on your face and the world beneath your feet, skimming along coastlines, gliding between church steeples, and looping the loop over volcanic craters in this striking illustration of precision flying.
Jean-Baptiste Chandelier is a highly skilled paraglider pilot as well as an aerial innovator at the forefront of acrobatic flying, with over ten years experience as a professional pilot. The creator of excellent viral videos, his skills in proximity, wagga flying and acrobatics have been featured in several original advertising campaigns.
As a pioneer of the paragliding discipline also known as proximity flying, Chandelier has honed his skills to allow him to fly in extremely tight spaces with notable levels of precision. Whether aiming to alight on the pinhead of a church spire or picking up an object while airborne and on the move, his expertise and exactitude defies belief.
A self-taught cameraman and filmmaker, he collaborates with a small team of some of France’s most talented aerial image makers. Projects produced include content and campaigns for some brands and media channels such as Volvo, Seat, Adidas, Red Bull, TF1, Canal Plus, Petzl, the Hautes Alpes region and his home resort of Serre Chevalier.
