Filming in Budapest is not just for huge-scale productions, like Ridley Scott’s The Martian, which was filmed partially in Budapest last year and is currently topping the box office, but guerilla filmmakers also find a lot to love here, and come away with fresh takes on the city and its scenery. Take, for instance, the video we stumbled across below, by videographer Devin Graham, who goes by the handle Devin Super Tramp, of Hungarian jump rope performing artist (and World and European Champion) Adrienn Bánhegyi as she works that rope at some of the city’s most iconic sites.
Graham’s handmade, DIY videos are hugely popular on You tube, all of which combined have over 600,000,000 views. Graham travels the world recording unique, complicated-yet-seamless videos of extreme sports and remote travel locations. This makes him a good match for Bánhegyi, also known as ‘Jump Rope Girl.’ The jump rope performing artist, among many other accomplishments, holds two world records, and has a recurring gig with Cirque du Soleil. While most of her accomplishments come from abroad, this video features her in her hometown: you can spot her moves at Heroes Square, Basilica, the City Park, Deak Ferenc Square, and Fisherman’s Bastion on the Buda side of the city.
Looking for backdrops and settings for film productions of any size? Dare we say, Budapest is just a hop, skip, and a jump away.
