As a camera flyer, Joe won three world championship titles and first place in the Extreme Games in skysurfing where his work was judged for stability and composition while flying in three dimensions with his partners. Today, Joe's smooth and well framed style is unique in the industry and easy to spot.

Flying with world champion skysurfer, Rob Harris over the Ventura Pier on a beautiful day in Ventura California. I started to fly camera for Rob in 1992 just as he was beginning to learn skysurfing. There was something special about his style and athletic ability that pulled me into competition camera flying and pretty quickly we developed a chemistry flying together. Rob became incredibly good and he led our team to 2 world championship titles and 1st place at the ESPN XGames in 1995. Later that same year we were filming a stunt together in Canada when Rob had a malfunction that took his life. It was heartbreaking, to me and thousands of skydivers who loved him, to his closest friends who grew up with him, and especially devastating to his brother and his dad and his mom. Looking back, I think we were all lucky to have him in our lives and I’m grateful that I got to be his camera flyer. He was a rare talent, and an amazing dude. Blue Skies Rob!

I think the message is clear. Live and let live, love and let love.

Our Story

My name is Joe Jennings, I live in Palos Verdes, CA with my wife and two boys, and I'm a skydiving cameraman.

MY WORK

I skydive with motion picture cameras for films, television, and commercials. I also help my clients coordinate skydivers, aircraft, and locations. To date, I've filmed skydiving stunts for hundreds of motion picture projects, and until 2011, I shot 35mm film. Today I fly with a helmet mounted RED Dragon camera and I LOVE the results.

COMPETITIVE EXPERIENCE

I believe my most valuable asset is the ability to fly the camera aggressively and safely. Most of my 10,000+ sky dives were dedicated to training as a camera flyer for skysurfing competitions where the camera flyer's performance is scored. I trained with the best skysurfer in the world and we won two world championships and gold at the Extreme Games. During that time I developed the muscle memory to fly 3D with a smooth and well framed image.
