No but imagine you have two people of similar height, one of whom weighs 100kg and the other weighs 70kg. The force due to air resistance is pretty much the same as their surface area is very similar, however the resultant deceleration will be significantly greater (about 43% greater assuming the same force) for the lighter guy and he won't be able to stay close enough to film.
