Perspectives #5 Video
Posted to Blog, Features, Videos by Athan Merrick on Feb.20, 2010
Nic and I have been busy. Very busy. We have both said more than a few times how spent we are after a day of filming.
I think it was easy when I was concentrating on just being an athlete. Stepping out into this other role of film producer/director/cinematographer leaves me absolutely drained after the day even if I spend 90% of it on my ass, cold as all hell, in the snow. Mentally concentrating on making sure each shot is recorded perfectly is somehow extremely physically demanding. Sometimes I wish I just was just sending it all day like last year.
The footage keeps rolling in and Dendrite Studios is making stellar progress on our debut ski film. This is the latest Perspectives and it is the first truly showcasing some of the athletic talent behind the film. We have many skiers making their ski film debuts. These are just a couple of them.
Perspectives #5 is about introducing a couple of our athletes. Matt Elliott and Brett Crabtree star in this web clip outlining some of the terrain inbounds on Whistler as well as some nearby sled zones as skied by Crabtree. Matt Elliott is an all around ripper and kills pretty much every line on Whistler and Blackcomb. Brett Crabtree is the 2008 IFSA Freeskiing World Tour champion and skis with so much strength and makes everything look easy with his smooth style. A lot more will come in the final film of these two guys.
Enjoy!
