My first Action sport film

This is my first Snow Board film/Action sport film. I am looking to find a community here on Steemit interested in Action sports such as Snowboarding, skiing, paragliding, skydiving, and free-diving. I am an avid extreme sport enthusiast and have experience as a skydiver, snowboarder, skier and other various nontraditional physical activities. Please follow and message, if like me, you are interested in finding a similar community here on Steemit so we can curate and create content!

This project was filmed all over northern Utah Ski resorts and back-country. It was an amazing few months of pushing my limits as a filmmaker and snowboarder. Endless days of slogging through the forest or hiking peaks. It was a pleasure to spend hours with my friend featured in the film, planning shots and drops!


Enjoy!


Amateur hour:  Pt 1


Let me know what you think. And please let's connect and brainstorm ways of bringing an action sport community to Steemit. The community is so full of free spirits and travelers that this would be the perfect place to gather them together.

THIS is a great idea and a very powerful one to boot! I just sent a link to my nephew who makes snowboarding and ski videos with his friends. As an upcoming star of freestyle skiing, just north of Montreal, he as a lot to share and can't wait to see him on Steemit. Though the last times I had talked to him about it he had told me he would check it out, maybe your article will convince him and, in the slide, the rest of the family to jump in so to speak!?!

Thanks for the inspiration and extra motivational push. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

Dude, you rule! Great video

Thank you @airmatti

Love the edit! We do some action sports edits also, but from the whitewater rafting world. Our team's advice would be to slomo some of the crux moves in your edits. When you are gapping something or when you are jibbing off a tree for example. Slowing down the action would draw the viewer deeper into the edit by holding their attention on the crux move longer. Another recommendation would be to shoot lower beneath the action and at a steeper vertical angle to give the viewer more perspective since the camera has a tendency to flatten everything out. Over the camera action with the videographer following the subject are cool too if you have someone willing to sit near the base of the jump. It is a bit of a tricky and dangerous shot, but it really pays off if there is someone willing to post up there for your shot. Just some thoughts from our team on the Edit, but we really enjoyed it. Keep shooting. Followed and Upvoted!

Sounds Awesome! We will check it out and let you know what we think. Thanks for the update.

Hey thank you Rafting Magazine! I really appreciate the feed back! I definitely learned a lot from the experience that I have used and will continue to use in my future projects! I have more Films coming to Steem the the next few weeks so keep your eyes out for more! Thanks again for the constructive feedback! That's what Steem is all about!

Glad we could help! A lot of our team boaters live and ride in California and if you are ever interested in coming out to shoot in the Sierras give us a shout, we can have them show you around. Tons of great terrain and piles of snow still around this season. We will keep following your adventures.

Great video - I like the intro and the feel like you are about to go on a journey. I am youtube who is getting into the steemit community. Great to see more action sports.

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I'll keep an eye out for you on youtube! Steemit could really bring people together for this kind of stuff!

Sweet video man what mountains do you go to?
Definitely following you so I expect some more shred clips

There are definitely more shred clips to come! I ski at Park City Mountain Resort and do back country in the Uinta mountain range.

Ohh thats sick I was just over at Park City in april checking out the mountain for the first time. Huge....compared to Tahoe

Yeah! now that vail came in and bought up everything its a mega resort.

I know right they are buying out everything. Hoping to go up to whistler soon and check that place out next

Yeah man whistler is mecca. Although Vail bought them for 4.1 billion dollars. If you go sent me some pics :)

I will man, looking to go this November/December so hopefully I'll still be on steem haha

Add some high altitude droneshots?

I've been thinking about investing in a DJi drone! Thanks for the feedback. More to come.

Your welcome, I just love those mountain views! If you can see how you would go down the slope.. that's amazing.

Love this! I'm not a snowboarder, but I do ski :)

Thank you! I ski as well
