Temple Run” has been an addicting, popular game on smartphones for quite some time now, but imagine if you were able to parkour your way through the real world collecting coins and dodging obstacles. Well, a group of Bulgarian freerunners did just that and captured the whole thing with a drone.
Mixed Motion Project, which consists of freerunners Ilko Iliev and Marin Kafedjiiski, just won “Best in Show” at the New York City Drone Film Festival this weekend with their film “2-D Run.” The film features Iliev running, jumping, and flipping through different properties for five minutes. At some points in the video, he is seen cycling, swimming, jet skiing and even vertically walking up a tower. There are also certain scenes that are resonant of classic video games including Super Mario Bros. Towards the end of the film, Iliev starts stumbling and slowing down and eventually collapses to show that it’s game over.
