With the dawn of the HD TV era, spectacular images of this spectacular sport are the only way forward. Hence a team was dispatched to Chile to make a promotional film depicting the sheer exhilaration of SGP. The production was directed by Peter Newport, a New Zealander who previously produced "Gladiators of the Sky", without doubt the best film about gliding previously made. Also in the team was Peter Thompson, another Kiwi and a world specialist in aerial filming. He used a stabilized camera which is impervious to the movements and vibrations of the helicopter, thus allowing him to film a glider and a close-up of its cockpit from a distance of one kilometer. The resulting footage includes some of the most beautiful images of gliding ever committed to film.
