Red Bull is an energy drink sold by Austrian company Red Bull GmbH, created in 1987. In terms of market share, Red Bull is the highest-selling energy drink in the world, with 5.387 billion cans sold in 2013.
Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz was inspired by an existing energy drink named Krating Daeng, which was first invented and sold in Thailand. He took this idea, modified the ingredients to suit the tastes of Westerners, and, in partnership with Chaleo Yoovidhya, founded Red Bull GmbH in 1987 in Chakkapong, Thailand. In Thai, daeng means red, and krating is the large bovine called "gaur". Red Bull is sold in a tall and slim blue-silver can, while Krating Daeng is in a gold shorter can. The two are different products, produced separately.
The Red Bull company slogan is "Red Bull gives you wings", and the product is marketed through advertising, events (Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, Red Bull Air Race, Red Bull Crashed Ice), sports team ownerships (RB Leipzig, FC Red Bull Salzburg, Red Bull Brasil, New York Red Bulls, Red Bull Racing, Scuderia Toro Rosso), celebrity endorsements, and music, through its record label Red Bull Records.
I got the idea for this video from a recent article in The New York Times, "36 hours in Chicago". By FRED A. BERNSTEIN, Published: September 22, 2010. He suggested riding in the front of the first car so this is what I did. I think it gives an idea of what it is like to ride this Chicago icon. It is also a great way to get an overview of Chicago. Most of this video is on the Brown Line, the most romantic line according to the Chicago REDEYE. I shot it with a Canon HF11 in Sport Mode with attached DM-100 microphone.

This was taken from my office in the North East corner of the Chicago Loop. It was yet another time-lapse adventure of learning how to use the Nikon Camera Control application with my D40. Perhaps, it could have been better had I not been behind a dirty window. But that's life.

If you watch only one office themed skatepark video with a Dolly Parton soundtrack, make it this one! In November, we had an opportunity to work with Red Bull on a [pretty epic skate event, Red Bull Daily Grind. This ideas was pretty awesome; find an epic office space in Chicago's loop and build a skatepark that looks like an office. The last step was the best, let people skate it for a month. Some of Red Bull's major dudes came through (Ryan Scheckler, Corbin Harris, Joey Brezinski, to name a few). Those guys came and destroyed it.

The original plan of skating from Grant Park to Humbolt Park was rained out. I was really looking forward to shooting a gang of kids skating through Chicago's Loop. In the end, I think we (Randy and I) were even luckier to have had the rain. Sure shooting with the FS700 in the rain isn't easy, I shot most of the rain footage from the back of my Honda Fit....that's why I always buy hatchbacks. Eventually, we made it to Clemente for the GSD Jam that Uprise and Nike were putting on. It was good to see everyone. I'm pretty sure Reggie Destin was smiling down on us because there were some crazy wallrides happening. Also, the Fully Torqued RV crew were there with Clive Dixon, Clint Walker, Dirty, Adam Mills, and Trevor Vaughn getting rad. Thanks Randy http://www.rmkphoto.com/ for being s...
