Take a look at Kriss Kyle's dream BMX playground
Kriss Kyle spent months in talks with Ben Scott, a renowned production designer, to create his dream BMX playground. The result was Kaleidoscope - a BMX film like none other. Here’s an obstacle-by-obstacle guide to the course of Kriss’s dreams.
13 the number of obstacles Kriss Kyle takes on in Kaleidoscope
10 the number of hours a day that Kriss spent in the warehouse, practising, for three weeks before the shoot
8 the number of weeks the set took to build
12 the number of men who built it
50,000 the number of screws used
1,600 the number of plywood sheets
The production team used pre-visualisation to develop the obstacles.
