By capturing ideas in light theres a freedom of letting somethings be part of the “real” world and controlling others. Taking one frame or 240 a second there are ideas that need to be developed.
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.

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.

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.

The snowboard field continues to keep uping the game in the big mountain NZ comps, its crazy to see how the conditions are to deal with, these really are ski comps but these guys have some lines.

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.

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.

I’m always stoked to go back to Temple Basin it’s one of the most photogenic places I’ve been and add to the mix some crazy skiing and you have yourself a weekend, After Tom and Cam’s duo effort for the K2, the girls decided they could do better so Alex Brook and Taylor Rapley take you through the event with some crazy tricks and lines.

I was a part of the Shoot out for WHC this year, it’s a competition to cover a competition and make an edit. Last year I made a Snow Show instead so was keen to throw my hat in the ring against some of the other local and international film makers, it was a bit of a crazy year with the weather being all over the show which means we only flew one day out of the two even tho we had a two week window but that put all film makers in the same position so I began cutting and this is what I ended up with and the panel of judges saw something good in it as they awarded me with best Freestyle day edit.
