“Parcour” is the title of this very exciting and creative production by Agile films. Featuring street acrobatics is cool enough, but this production also uses well-known London landmarks to act as spectacular backdrops for this project.
Agile films are very pleased with the results achieved with the Varicam and of course the stunning end product.
