Co-founder Liam Flint chatted to the boys at ‘How Ridiculous‘, who are making a big splash online with sporting trick shots and their work with Compassion Australia.
How Ridiculous is made up of three young guys (Derek Herron, Scott Gaunson and Brett Stanford). We combine our passion for sport with a few cameras and try to make what is known as “trick shots” which, in short are sporting phenomenon’s which we create through skill, creativity and persistence. We have been doing this for over five years now and have created a noticeable online presence mainly on YouTube with over 150,000 subscribers!
How Ridiculous is now a full-time world record breaking group of friends passionate about pushing the limits and bringing fans along for the ride. With millions of views on YouTube, multiple television appearances and new global brand partnerships, we are dedicated to creating exceptional content that people love.
OUR CONNECTION TO COMPASSION
Since we began, we have always had a special connection with Compassion and continue to work and support the life changing work they are doing in releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
"In a nutshell, we’re those Aussie guys that keep popping up on your TV, YouTube Homepage and Facebook Feed for those Ridiculous sporting antics...
Our origins date back to 2009 when for unknown reasons trick shots in the backyard just seemed more exhilarating than studying for exams. It just grew from there really, the more shots we made, the harder the shots became. Before we knew it we were filming content most people wouldn’t believe is possible. Naturally, this caught a bit of attention."
We work with brands and agencies to create premium content focused on capturing authentic footage that speaks to people. We work to develop an idea that integrates the brand’s message and logo into the content in order to generate the best possible reach.
