The team from Modest (a Buford, Georgia-based production company) recently shot a commercial for Glock, featuring the G41 tactical .45 caliber pistol. The commercial itself is a gorgeous-looking short film of a special ops unit swarming a plane out on an airport tarmac. The BTS video above shows how they pulled off an impressive continuous shot passed down a pulley on crane, to car, to golf cart, to ground – all what looks to be shot with a Blackmagic Cinema camera stabilized on a Movi M10 3-axis gimbal. It’s really freaking sweet.
If you're a fan of Glock pistols, as I am, and if you're interested in amazing cinematic behind the scenes looks, then you came to the right place! The commercial Modest and Glock teamed up to make could be a scene from any blockbuster movie or TV series, and the BTS video that explains how they blocked out the scene and achieved the camera movement is a killer bonus. Thanks to Mike Sly who submitted the article suggestion to us here at Fstoppers!
Here's the final commercial.

![Oops Olympus! Justin Bieber's New Music Video Was Also Shot With GoPros [UPDATED]](https://cdn.fstoppers.com/styles/small-16-9/s3/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/justinbiebergopro.jpg)
amazing!
That was pretty awesome! Love that top down shot...and the under the plane to over the wing shot was so crazy it looked like an impossible shot...really cool.
Yeah, man. That move was badass.
What an awesome add! This makes me want to get into video! Totally bad ass!
thats briljant! almost like a choreographed dance when they work around the plane!
Tiny gear head correction. They shot that on a RED ;-)
Nice catch. Could you tell what model? There was one clear view of them demonstrating the gimbal that had a Blackmagic attached, but I see that's not what they were actually filming with now...
