Everything I post up from the staples, design, photo and video to plenty of smaller projects and ideas that won’t make the main pages of the portfolio or other things I’m trying out.

big mountain skiing

The K2 Big Mountain is a freeski and snowboard event held in the Southern Alps and the first half of the CHILL series, I have been working on these event of the past few years and continue to build upon what I have done year on year. I had been working with Liam Hall for the past few years but with him in Canada I have employed Alex Bowater as second angle.

Carrying on with my work on the CHILL Big Mountain series from the past few years the Temple Basin event always holds challenges, working at one of the more remote ski fields, including a half hour walk to access the lodge, this year held low levels of snow but good sunshine. I worked with Alex Bowater as second filmer for the event, we had the girls take over the fronting of the event, with Alex Brook, 2012 winner of the event and Taylor Rapley, 2013 winner of the K2 Big Mountain the week before.

RAD

A buddie o mine has been working hard getting his community bike garage open in Christchurch so while I was up there the other day we got a couple of pics and now they are out in the new Licence to Ride Manual, formerly the CHILL Adventures summer mag. I’ve got a new other shots in there too.

scribble of a moose

Last year I made the resolution to do something every week and post it up here. I got distracted and didn’t get close to making the whole year but the little alarm didn’t go off so I figure I’ll post what I drew today.

Merrill Time

While in Japan working on another soon to be released project we spent a few days with Bode, Harry and their filmer Pat while they worked on this crazy part, I don’t have much in there but stoked to have worked with the guys and see what they are making, plus just watching Bode ride a snowboard is sweet.

Aloha or Die

During this years CHILL Series a couple of my buddies had a little jam up at Temple Basin, Roy & Christina aka Aloha or Die played some sweet little tunes, I had an idea of using it somewhere along the way in the ski edits but that never happened so I threw it together nice and fast for them here so it see’s at least some light of day.

photos of meat

It’s meat that comes in your mail, check out what they are doing with my photos on www.meatmail.co.nz, I have been mostly working on the product page shots but we are working on a few of these rather tasty looking ones.

In The Montage

In the mix of trying to get a whole heap done I end up with a few little pieces of footage here and there for projects that I want to happen but run out of time on, like filming with Christy Prior this year, the girl rips but your schedules didn’t really work out so we had one grey morning with a few tricks and they ended up in Snowboarder Mag’s new vid. Don’t worry they are in the first minute so you won’t have to be there all day either.

The Fun

Last year after I was finished up with CHILL series 2012 I made an extra video, just a little something for a CHILL movie night they were having, everything that was awesome but good, https://vimeo.com/50750991 and people seemed to like it, getting more views than some of the actual videos so I had to make another this year.
