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…).

I like the rawness of the follow cam and the audio from Marni Yamada when she is about to drop in. I also like where the video pauses and shows the REI ad. Most importantly, the commercial is shot by someone who knows the snowboard/ski industry and it shows.
Real Nice work Chase
that camera is awesome but at 25k is it well worth the money?? great movies and very dramatic with the slow mo effect, wish i could make anything even close!!
Cool short solid. Man I’m gonna go boarding right now in fact.
