GoPro Powers Up the Action in "Twisters"

GoPro cameras take viewers into the heart of the storm in the upcoming action thriller, "Twisters," hitting theaters on July 19th. The rugged and versatile cameras played a pivotal role in capturing the film's thrilling action, offering a unique perspective on the awe-inspiring and destructive forces of nature.

GoPro's ability to withstand extreme weather conditions proved invaluable to the "Twisters" filmmaking team. "We're incredibly proud to have helped the 'Twisters' filmmaking team bring their vision to life," said Rick Loughery, GoPro VP of Global Marketing and Communications. "Our cameras are designed to go where no other camera can, making them the perfect tool for a movie that explores the raw power of nature. While GoPro is no stranger to the film industry, this collaboration perfectly highlights the spectacular capability of GoPro's technology."

The "Twisters" crew utilized GoPro's compact size and durability to their advantage, mounting cameras on vehicles, weather instruments, and even on actors during filming. In some of the film's most intense sequences, the crew deployed up to 20 GoPro cameras simultaneously, immersing the audience in the heart of roaring tornadoes and breathtaking escapes.

"Because of GoPro and their technology evolving over the years, I've been able to evolve," said Frank Zambetti, behind-the-scenes camera operator on "Twisters." "They're able to shoot high-speed, so you can get amazing slow motion. It's a camera you can virtually do anything with. Sometimes, on big action movies, like 'Twisters,' I might have 15 to 20 GoPros running in one scene."

GoPro's contribution to "Twisters" pushed the boundaries of action cinematography, allowing the filmmakers to capture breathtaking visuals that bring the film's intense action to life. Viewers can experience a glimpse of GoPro's behind-the-scenes footage on GoPro's blog, "The Current," or on YouTube, for a thrilling look at the making of "Twisters."
