JOSS winning video

The Jon Olsson Super Sessions is a video/photography contest, teaming 2 skiers, 2 filmers and one photographer, who have less than two weeks to session two world-class resorts (and their surroundings) and produce a short film showcasing all this action.

This year, team Norway, which included skiers PK Hunder and Andreas Hatveit, photographer Thomas Kleiven, and cinematographers Jon Hatveit and Filip Christensen, won the contest with a short film composed of insane skiing and beautiful cinematography. Props to everyone on the team, and especially to Filip, who is someone I’ve known for awhile now, and who is basically one of the most hard-working and deserving person I’ve met in this industry. And of course, props to Jon Olsson, freeskiing’s most influential personality, who once again put on the best competition of the year.

Without further ado, here’s the winning video. Be sure to check out the other contestants of the competition, because their videos also kick ass !

D-Show + my first post !

Great moment, first blog post.

Today I thought I’d share my 2008-09 ski project, the D-Show. After taking a year off from producing ski movies, I decided to get back in the scene in a different way. I took on a new kind of project with Charles Spina, Alex Casabon and Phil Bélanger, long-time friends and collaborators.

The D-Show covers the D-Jam Tour around the province of Quebec, showcasing the talent of both established and unknown riders. The project was in association with D-Structure, and Bombe.tv, which were the 2 platforms on which the show was published. The viewers were then invited to vote for their favorite rider at each stop, and the winner took home a prize package from Orage, one of our sponsors.

Here are the 4 shows:
