Making this film was a bit of fun with the potential to further “spread the word” about The Adventure Team and Coasteering but it must be known that there is far more to this video than meets the eye! This video carries a powerful message about collaboration, team work, trust and helping others for no reason other than a desire to do so!
The idea to create a movie with the potential to go viral began in Gortin when Stephen Brown (Team Builder Extraordinaire) met with Jason Devine (Blackthorn Design) and Dean Langasco (I Love Monday’s). It was shortly after they had all watched the Liquid Running video so there were loads of ideas bandied about – some crazy, some (possibly) inappropriate, some (definitely) inappropriate, some ludicrous and some with the potential to see all three in trouble (enough said). But somewhere in the depths of this crazy talk Jason got the idea for Bad Bob’s Coasteering Centre…
The 3 guys parted company that evening and no more was said about the video until Jason forwarded a story board for the film a few days later. From that moment on it was full steam ahead – a date was set, more volunteers were enlisted, bullied, coerced and bribed, apparently some were dragged kicking and screaming and believe it or not two of them were flown in from Canada – economy class of course (and they paid their own way)!
So on Saturday 12th June a fine array of conscripts descended upon Ballintoy Harbour to make “How Coasteering was Born!”
