fun times!

so about that job...
so the last month has been hectic to say the least. i could go into all the different things that come my way on a daily basis but it would probably seem pretty petty to complain about it since i have one hell of a rad job! how many people out there get pretty good money for editing skiing and snowboarding stuff? ... a lot of skiing and snowboarding stuff!
here is a taste of some short videos ive done since...late december?

FWT PROMO - the one that didn't get used...

Daily update videos for all of the tours...this includes both the FWT and TNF Masters...each stop of the tour generally lasts about 3-4 days and include 1-2 videos per day with a highlight video of the event due about a day or two after.

one of the better highlight videos so far...wasn't too stoked on the revelstoke one so i thought id make up for it with the masters. the difference between this and the the fwt one was that i was actually present and could retell the story a bit better...

so i guess that wraps it up for the month of january? check back later for my first tv commercial as well as some word about the tv show series were working on for comcast. go check out freeskiingworldtour.com and thenorthfacemasters.com for most of the videos that ill be working on for the next 2 months. past that i think there are talks about some more party videos (steve aoki in april!!!) as well as some north face stuff, the highlight of that being a trip to south africa in may! weeyooo!

**oh yeah...and then there was aspen...
almost forgot, last week i went to aspen to help out on the powder video awardsto help with the live streaming of the event...amid all the x games hype powder mag has been putting on this award show. this one was their 10th anniversary and the organizers decided to pull out all the stops for it...here are 2 quick videos of it...were currently working on a tv show from these awards as well as a highlight video that should be out in about 2 weeks...see yaa!!!!

yiddigy. so after a nice 2 months delay i finally got my ass into gear and pumped out a real quick halloween party edit. slc killed it on this night actually. the hotel (club elevate), sandbar and lumpys all collaborated on this night. pierpont ave was shut down to traffic and drunk people in costumes were let free to stumble in between the spot of their choosing, one entrance was applicable to all places etc...it was good stuff!

this past weekend MSI put on the freeskiing world tour kickoff party over at green street. i called in a favor of one of the go go girls and they came out to help bring a little extra flavor to the party. whats really sweet is that im editing this during the newly acquired 9-5 jam...instead of 2 months to see the video of it, itll only be a few days untill that sucker is up. check back soon!
bumba!

what the heck happened? its christmas already? last time i had a spare second it was august! anyway, along the tnf work ive been doing i have recently switched gears to get into a fulltime gig with msi. im going to be touring around for the freeskiing world tour as well as the north face masters. these two tours are going to hold me responsible to pretty much deliver any video output of these events...bunches of work to say the least. dippin a bit in my past i have dug up this lil powder edit i made as a bonus for rage last year. hope you enjoy!

further, i also went up to the canyons today with sam, witt, brady and erica. we had a blast taking laps on the saddleback chair and made it a point to hit up boxzilla everytime. the beast measured in at 196'! crazy stuff, in an ironic twist erica, the only one in our crew to get the whole thing was only the only person to get eaten up by it. heres to hoping the back heals up chief!

here you go with the fourth installment from the jungle marathon trip made possible by the north face. this one is about tracy garneau and she freaking rocks. tracy came down with the us team but actually hails from vernon, canada. she kept the canadian spirit shining through her every move and it was awesome to enjoy the company of her during the trip. find out a bit more about what makes her tick, enjoy!
next up is a bunch of videos that im currently working on from some of north face's best climbers over in spain. check back for that in a few days!

this past weekend i went up to alta to get my first real turns in of the season.it was wicked fun up untill the dreaded calling last run thing came up and bit me in the ass..legit. on the last turn of the last run i went flying into a ditch backwards with my bum hitting some covered up rocks and stumps. i came home and was couch logged for a few hours while i bitched and moaned to an empty room. oh well. on the video front, ive still been hammering out videos over the last few days and thought id put a few of them up. the very, very last of the brazil pieces (tracy garneau) still hasnt been released yet for some reason but once it gets the go ahead ill be sure to throw that one up. past that, i snipped off the freeskiing world tour promo and ill be throwing that guy up this coming monday, to go along with that will also be the north face masters promo that i only did a few tweaks on the titles for it. both of these tours will be significant parts of my coming winter working with msi so be on the lookout for that! this past summer i had the opportunity to go out to the salt flats and shoot some ripping cars with my friend wes. wes is a baller pretty much, he slays shit with adobe and is one of their testers for all the new programs coming out. he took my footage from that day and cut this edit up using premiere and ae in their cs5 versions....yeah, cs5 aka, not out yet but watch for it in a few months! also in an earlier post i put up the electrofy edit, after i put it up a few changees had to be made so now here it is for a return. for some reason the dimensions on it are all fucked and im not really feeling it to go back and change all that yahooness so deal with it.
shpekay!
