on the edge
We just finished up Outdoor Games here in Chamonix, France. I was hanging out with the Dynastar posse and the team Focus. Since I am still not skiing it was pretty cool of them to still want to keep me on board and a part of their story.
We had a great team consisting of Aurelien Ducroz and Rachel Burks on skis, Babs Charlet on snowboard, Hernan Pitocco as paraglider, Francois Bon as a speedrider, Seb Collomb-Gros as BASE jumper and Fanfan Dan as ice climber/mountaineer … and me as the guest participant.
Our filmers were Daniel Laffarge and Sylvain Georges. Photographer was Tristan Shu!
The concept of the competition is to make a movie of 5 minutes, with a storyline, of 5 different sports in 5 days… It is a super intense week with a lot of work, but also a lot of fun and good laughs! The weather is not always cooperating so it can get pretty stressy at times.
We started filming on Sunday morning and managed to get some good skiing shots in between the clouds. The days that followed our film crew were running in between all the crazy activities we were trying to put together and then trying to shoot the story line with me…
At the end of the week we had completed our mission and made a story based on the 5 senses you possess… We tried to transform the senses into action and the 5 sports we were doing. I can assure you that it is way more difficult to communicate your ideas into a film than in your own head!! Anyway, this is our result.
