Forsman & Bodenfors' Volvo Ballerina Stunt

Swedish agency Forsman & Bodenfors has released their first commercial for Volvo Trucks. The agency teamed up with Smuggler to create a death-defying piece of film that has so far notched up over two million hits on YouTube. The team put together a stunt with world record-holding high-linrer Faith Dickey that was so dangerous that it had never been done before, not even in Hollywood. But that didn't stop Dickey from trying to do what everyone thought was impossible she walked a slackline between two speeding trucks. 

 

The stunt was set up to show the precise handling of the new Volvo FH.The film is directed by Oscar nominee Henry Alex Rubin from Smuggler, and stunt coordinator was Hollywood veteran Peter Pedrero who has worked on the likes of James Bond, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean. The shoot took place on a closed section of Croatian high way.
