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.

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.

I did a little helping out with the guys to make some videos for a new snowboard app called Trick Bag. The app makes wish lists, teaches you tricks, scrambles them up and all sorts of stuff to entertain yourself in the park. Download it now on iOS.

With only one stop of the K2 this year we ventured to Craigieburn and despite minimal snow managed to scrounge something for the comp with a quick 5cm the night before. Tom Brownlee was lead for the vid but when he turned up in the car park he decided he would call in Cam McD for a second announcer. The two produce some interesting sentences but it’s fun and this year Alex Bowater took the long lens spot in harsh conditions where the wind never stopped blowing the 500mm is extremely hard to keep steady and the interviews are hard to keep clean. Matty J was wandering about on the second day so I threw him the audio recorder and came back with an a solid yarn.
