Fly Guys is an action-packed show presented on Facebook Watch in 2018. The series brings to visuals the thrill, extreme sport, acrobatics and the power of human potential. Pushing daring to the next level, Fly Guys features an ensemble of professional stunt performers and athletes in a spectacle like never before.
The central idea of the show merges the concepts of acrobatics, trampoline walling, freerunning, and parkour. It combines these elements with the effortless power of specialization and expertise, professional conduct and creative model crafting. It takes the viewer on a thrilling ride of human potential, dexterity, and the mind-blowing vista of euphoric flights within choreographed stunts.
The show is a host to ten professional performers who have incredible backgrounds stretching from Cirque du Soleil acrobats to elite trampolinists, and experienced stuntmen. They are the main characters of the series who have set forth to walk on the unchartered realm of the sky, often describing themselves as flight enthusiasts.
Taking place primarily in Europe, each episode of Fly Guys blurs the line between a live-action performance and extreme daredevil stunts. As the episodes unfold, the team finds themselves in various exotic locations, rigging up enormous contraptions like catapults, airbags, and wire systems to produce the most exciting and dangerous jumps, flips, and freefalls.
Moreover, the show is not simply a documentary summary of a series of wild acrobatics, but it narrates the stories and personalities of the performers themselves. It offers viewers a glimpse into what drives these individuals to defy gravity continually and confront danger with such enthusiasm and bravery.
Creating a behind-the-scenes element to the show, it also highlights the challenges, risks, and the considerable amount of precision in timing and coordination involved in designing these grand high-risk stunts. It renders the process of rehearsing and the extensive preparation that goes behind, all the while maintaining the energy and excitement of the act.
Fly Guys is also characterized by its high production value. The beautiful cinematography captures not only the large-scale stunts in all their heart-pounding glory but also the stunning landscapes in which they are staged with considerable attention to color, detail, and movement. The visuals are amplified with the Hollywood-style slow-motion action, letting the viewer savor every swing, twist and turn.
