The right lens puts you beyond the boundaries of what’s possible on screen – especially, in extreme cinematography, where imagination takes over the limits. DGA director AJ Bleyer shows it like nobody does.
In his latest extreme Red Bull Racing commercial, he tried out our FUJINON’s 19-45mm Premista wide cine-zoom lens paired with the RED Digital Cinema V-RAPTOR inside an airplane. And the results are jaw-dropping!
“Equipped with a RED V-Raptor, FUJINON Premista, and our new eND RF to PL adapter, we team up with Red Bull Racing for a series of back-to-back jumps across California and Washington,”
AJ Bleyer.

It is not the first time that Bleyer chooses Fujifilm’s lenses for extreme shooting. In his previous commercial for COINBASE and TEAM LIQUID, he was shooting in Boeing 727 and took mind-blowing zero-gravity shots during a parabolic flight, discovering the power of FUJINON cinema zoom. Each parabola took 10 miles of airspace to perform, lasting only about 1 minute, so the team had less than a minute to get the shot.
