Hey yall. Wanted to share some recent work I did for the awesome outdoor company, REI. Above and below are two videos in a series of 5 that I created for their online holiday campaign. Commercials ran in lots of places… Both vids in this post were shot in the lovely town of Telluride, Colorado last spring. And Both feature a friend of mine, Marni Yamada. She’s a dual sport (snowboard and ski) X-Games veteran athlete, a ripper, and an all-around great person.
Love to get your thoughts on either or both. And we’ll do our best to answer questions in the comments below.
The rail slide above was shot entirely on the RED One camera. The halfpipe sequence below was shot on the RED for the slo-mo stuff (120 fps) and the lo-fi handheld “followcam” look from within the pipe was captured with the Nikon D3s (B&H link for product details…).

Dude… you rock! And these vids rock, made me wanna grab my board hit the slopes right now!
What I find interesting is that the followcam stuff isn’t really discernable from the RED footage. Although as is obvious from the (beautiful) close up slow mo, the RED really comes into it’s own there. The 7D might be close, but won’t give the flexibility you got from that. Lovely promos, not my ideal music though.
Personally I thought the difference was obvious and the cut in the middle to the RED slo mo showed it even more for me. Come on Nikon. Catch up to Canon at least. I’m Nikon through and through and love my D7000 video but want more!
Those are fun spots. Love the slow motion portions.
Nicely done sir.
So cool. I bet that RED is killer.
Beautiful shots man! Love it 🙂
