In this episode of the Co-Pro Podcast, we sit down with Jim Geduldick, better known as Filmbot, to trace a career built at the intersection of action sports, filmmaking, and emerging technology.
Jim started as a sponsored snowboarder before turning the camera toward the people and culture around him. What began with shooting snowboarding and skate videos with friends grew into a career spanning cinematography, editing, visual effects, virtual production, and some of Hollywood’s biggest sets. Along the way, he worked in GoPro’s professional marketing organization, helping explore how new camera technology could be used across cinema, broadcast, VR, and photography.
We talk about the early days of making films with friends, learning by doing, and how a background in action sports shaped Jim’s creative approach. We also get into the transition from rider to filmmaker, the evolution of camera technology, working on major productions including The Martian, Point Break, and Transformers: The Last Knight, and why curiosity is still the most valuable tool in a fast-changing creative industry.
From rocket airs to blockbusters, this is a conversation about following the next interesting idea and building a career where creativity, culture, and technology meet.
