F<\/span>ilming Everest with a drone: not a first for the summit, but the first time that the normal route on the Tibetan side, the North Ridge, has been filmed in a single shot from the North Col, at 7,000 meters, all the way to the summit!<\/p>\n Chinese photographer Ma Chunlin has achieved a world first: filming the ascent of Everest from the north face in a single, uninterrupted shot.<\/p>\n The technical challenge was enormous: everything had to go exactly as planned, or risk waiting another year. To achieve this exceptional sequence, Ma climbed to the advanced base camp at an altitude of 6,500 meters. He waited for the rare combination of clear skies, calm winds and perfect alignment with the climbers’ progress. Filming had to start at sunrise – timed to the minute – and follow the route precisely, without the slightest error in camera movement.<\/p>\n The result is stunning: we climb the ridge and the successive camps. Then, in the bluish light of dawn, we see climbers reaching the summit of Everest, while another, alone, is already on top. Lhotse can be seen in the background.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”1200px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HEpi-S9qacY&t=2s” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Filming Everest with a drone: not a first for the summit, but the first time…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":295758,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"[et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" max_width=\"800px\" use_custom_width=\"on\" custom_width_px=\"800\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" text_font_size=\"18px\" hover_enabled=\"0\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]\n\n[dropcap size=big]F[\/dropcap]ilmer l'Everest en drone : ce n'est pas une premi\u00e8re pour le sommet, mais c'est la premi\u00e8re fois que la voie normale versant tib\u00e9tain, l'ar\u00eate nord, est film\u00e9e en une seule prise du col nord, \u00e0 7000 m\u00e8tres, jusqu'au sommet !\n\nLe photographe chinois Ma Chunlin a ainsi r\u00e9alis\u00e9 une premi\u00e8re mondiale : filmer l'ascension de l'Everest, depuis le versant nord, en une seule prise de vue ininterrompue.\n\nLe d\u00e9fi technique \u00e9tait de taille : il fallait que tout se passe exactement comme pr\u00e9vu, sous peine d'attendre un an de plus. Pour r\u00e9aliser cette s\u00e9quence exceptionnelle, Ma est mont\u00e9 au camp de base avanc\u00e9 \u00e0 6 500 m\u00e8tres d'altitude. Il a attendu la rare combinaison d'un ciel clair, de vents calmes et d'un alignement parfait avec la progression des alpinistes. Le tournage devait commencer au lever du soleil - chronom\u00e9tr\u00e9 \u00e0 la minute pr\u00e8s - et suivre pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment l'itin\u00e9raire, sans la moindre erreur de mouvement de cam\u00e9ra.\n\nLe r\u00e9sultat est bluffant : on remonte l'ar\u00eate, et les camps successifs. Puis, dans la lumi\u00e8re bleut\u00e9e de l'aurore on voit les alpinistes qui atteignent le sommet de l'Everest, alors qu'un autre, seul, est d\u00e9j\u00e0 au sommet. On y distingue le Lhotse \u00e0 l'arri\u00e8re plan. Superbe vid\u00e9o.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.19.0\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" max_width=\"1200px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_video src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HEpi-S9qacY&t=2s\" _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9,787],"tags":[68],"class_list":["post-295757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-himalayas","category-video","tag-everest"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295757"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":295761,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295757\/revisions\/295761"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
