LED-Adorned Freerunners Take on Bangkok in Captivating New Video

If you thought flying and leaping over tall buildings in a single bound were capabilities reserved only for Superman, think again. A new video by German director and artist Frank Sauer proves that, when outfitted in cool RGB LED light suits and set loose in the streets of Bangkok, a team of freerunners can come pretty darn close to superhuman.  “Light Emitting Dudes,” as the production is called, follows three athletic, acrobatic young men as they seamlessly navigate one of the world’s most vibrant cities like nimble gymnasts infused with Bruce Lee’s fury. The video features Team Farang freerunners Jason Paul, Shaun Wood and Anan Anwar and is as inspiring to watch as Cirque de Solei or some other majorly awesome feat of extreme sports, cutting edge artistic visuals, music and performance. The light suits appear to be outfitted with LED strip lights, which flash, fade and dance along with the runners’ movements. You can watch the video on Sauer’s website, as well as view some of his other work, which I highly recommend. If freerunners are real life super heroes, then Sauer’s work is the real life visual poetry that documents them.
