This was my entry for the CHILL Film Feast short film competition over the weekend, I had been planning on making this while filming and working out how much awesome footage wouldn’t make the actual edits, then was asked to put something into the Film Feast. I didn’t know it was a competition, I hadn’t even started making it till after the entries closed and even claim in the middle of it some of my shots aren’t any good.

As the CHILL Series continued through the mountains we made it to Craigieburn for a whole lot more skiing. Cam McD’s ollie to pillow is one of the interesting lines I’ve seen any skier take, let alone in a comp.

The comp started this year up at Mt Olympus with Tom Brownlee getting in front of the camera with more than a few ridiculous statements and some of the better skiing I’ve seen.

Which means I have been half way up the side of the mountain shooting for the past week, it’s been a great chance to use a few new toys and do some things that I haven’t before with a production, the internet isn’t too fast up there but as we left town I released this little update.
And in between Mt Olympus and Craigieburn I had an hour or so to cut up this little teaser with some results so that I have time to do the real thing over the next few days before I go back to the hills.

I’ve been spending a fair bit of time working out what I want to do for the CHILL Series this year and I was keen to start of with a teaser from last year’s footage with some details about this year to get the stoke up. As per usual my work changed a fair amount from the drawing board and now I have this which is far more about people getting used to Tom fronting the camera and the animations I’ve been playing with, it’s not to serious…

With the snow season coming up soon Chill have released their winter mag, keeping the scene up to date with everything from the club fields and after last season I felt like I hadn’t shot many photos while concentrating on the Clubbies film series but after I scrolled the hard drives and submitted a whole bunch I came out with 15 shots published as well as writing 1 article and appearing in 2 more photos so not too bad in the end and this shot to me just shows the Chill vibe as it’s meant to be. Bring on winter.

I already know how to get to Temple Basin, it’s one of the best ski fields in the world so I try to get up there as often as I can, right off the main road but with gear lifts that don’t take people and a walking track that takes a while so I’ve been working with the crew up there to get this handy little video to show everyone else how find there way up.

This kid is killing it these days 16 years old won the big mountain part of the free ski open this year. He’s not even allowed to ride the comp for another two years, rips what ever he is skiing, always having fun and skis as much as he can. Plus his middle name is Cosmo which makes him even cooler.

Keeping on from Craigieburn & Olympus the Chill series moved on to Temple Basin, the sun was out in force, the wind stayed away and we changed up the speed a little bit for this edit.

In a super last minute push we managed to get the second installment of the Chill big mountain series online as we were on the way back to the mountains.
