Snow Ski Video – REVIVAL
For athletes who have chosen to engage in capturing and representing their idea of what is possible through film, it is hard not to become quite attached to the footage they dedicate their lives to. For me it is a constant process, winter by winter, waiting patiently for the perfect moment to emerge so I can release my imagination upon the mountain. The work put into each shot can be quite extensive and hours upon hours are spent visualizing how the execution of a maneuver should look to a viewer and even how the shot should look on screen. For a creative perfectionist, it can be quite a draining experience when things don’t turn out the way they are envisioned. Once ideas are brought to actuality the feeling is unexplainably rewarding. This compilation of recorded ski footage is an attempt to revive the fantasy that was my goal two winters ago.
