Over the last few weeks been lucky enough to steal some time with Freeskier Colby James West - we first visited him in Aspen at the X Games and then the last couple days we met up with him at his home resort- Breck. The objective of the shoot is to see the world through his eye's. We basically recreated "with some artistic license" the last 4 or 5 years of his life and his climb to be one of the top pro skiers competing today. We used the Canon 5D with a 14mm to mimic his view, camera's mounted on his head, shoulder and chest take the view into the action, skiing, sleeping, eating, bro-ing down, crashing, even Yoga..... etc - everything that makes his world turn. It will be all cut into about 90 seconds of the film and will be really captivating for the viewers, especially those in the theater. In the pic above - Cameraman Colin Witherill is hooking up the 5D with a 15mm fisheye for a run through the park in Breck. Thanks to Colby for all the team work, he is a great talent, in front and behind the camera.
