The Most Incredible Volcano Video ever shot ! Geoff Mackley, Bradley Ambrose, Nathan Berg, after an epic struggle with the weather for 35 days, we became the first people ever to get this close to Marum Volcano's famed lava lake on Ambrym Island, Vanuatu. Coming within 30 metres of the lava lake down a watercourse, it was possible to stand the heat for only 6 seconds. With Fire Brigade breathing apparatus and heat proof proximity suit it was possible to stand on the very edge and view the incredible show for over 40 minutes.

The above quote from Geoff mackley from his expedition to the Lava lake. CLICK HERE for his website and CLICK HERE for his Youtube Channel. I came across this first on Sam Cossman video release on September 4, 2014. Sam Cossman was along with the team.  His quote is below.

Sam Cossman and George Kourounis with volcanic pioneers Geoff Mackely and Brad Ambrose become among the first explorers to step foot inside the worlds most dangerous and inaccessible volcano, Marum Crater. More people have visited the moon than the firey bottom of this spectacular and deadly location.

We have played many games which are First Person Point of View (POV) like Counter Strike, Soldier of Fortune, Grand Theft Auto, Hitman and so many others. Ilya Naushuller is directing a First POV Action Movie and he has completed all the shooting. The movie currently is in Post-Production. For some post-production related stuff, they have turned to Crowd Funding site Indiegogo for assistance on the post-production. Below is the Video from the movie which is quiet interesting. CLICK HERE if the below embedded video is not working. (Disclaimer/Caution and Warning: The following video is using strong language and graphic scenes.)

The creators (Biting Elbows) had previously made a video a two years back, one can view that video for their First POV which was released as a music Video. CLICK HERE for Part 1 and CLICK HERE for part 2, if the below video is not working. (Disclaimer/Caution and Warning: The following video is using strong language and graphic scenes)

Part 1 - The Stampede (Official Music Video)

Part 2 - Bad MotherF****r (Official Music Video)

The Camera Rig the creators have come up for shooting the POV is amazing with the GoPro Hero cameras being used. It is definitely difficult to shoot the entire action movie with the GoPro cameras along with the camera rig which has resulted in a lot of GoPro' getting damaged. Below is the picture of the Camera Rig setup.
