Skywalk Video Com. 2010 – Wer fliegt besser? Motorschirm- oder Gleitschirmflieger?
area28 hat in mühseliger Arbeit und fast wissenschaftlichen Methoden einen neutralen Vergleich zwischen der Motorschirm- und der Gleitschirmfliegerei durchgeführt. Vergleichen wurden ua die Kategorien Ausbildung, Effektivität, Attraktivität, Bildung, Umweltschonung. Vorurteile werden thematisiert, so zB die des Gleitschirmfliegers in Richtung Motorschirmpilot, “er sei ein Stinker, der gar nicht richtig fliegen können.” Der Vergleich hat ein ganz anderes Ergebnis zutage gebracht, äußerst spannend – und vor allem lustig! Das verblüffende Ergebnis dieser Untersuchung wurde nun filmisch umgesetzt – viel Spaß beim Zusehen. Der Film erreichte in einer längeren Version beim Filmfestival des Deutschen Motorschirmpokals (DMP) 2010 in Ballenstedt den 2. Platz. Für Nichtkenner der Szene: Eshandelt sich um ein Slaptsickvideo, bitte nicht ernst nehmen.
