INFORMATION:
----------
46 (referring to the swedish landcode +46) is a bunch of people from Sweden who create films and has one common love; Extremesports.
The goal with the projects & films is to make extremesport bigger, and of course to show what Sweden has to offer
internationally. We are involving the young athletes of Sweden, both known and unknown names, with the goal to help
everyone boost their cariers. In the same time we are working together with partners that want's to profile themselves
in this new upcoming era. We are simply trying to inspire as much people as we can.
46 consists of a big crew, with around 26 athletes (skiing, inline skating & snowboarding), filmers and photographers.
It was formed in June 2006 by Christoffer Aldell, Mikael Aldell and Linus Andersson, and has since then
produced one inline skating video (46 "uncensored"), and is right now working on a newschool skiing video (46 "moments"
of 2007), and will start the shootings for the second inline skating video in may. The films are partly distributed
online, but also by the largest sport dealer in Sweden, Team Sportia, with 107 stores within the country.
The films from 46 are made in a kind of special angle that makes the films more interesting for "everybody"
to watch. We often put "realtime parts/segments" of feelings and preparations before and after big stunts in the films.
The athletes are telling what they feel and what they fear in the same time as they are telling the viewers what they
are going to do. You will get to feel fear, pressure, pain, happiness and success while watching. We also often put in
segments with interviews of the athletes and sometimes the crew as well. There's almost always a story or purpose in our
films.
The future vision within 46 is to keep activating, teaching and inspiring people about extremesports. We have so far
arranged one competition in Eskilstuna (46 competition at 016 skatepark) for inline skating, and intend to continue
stimulating and activating people with similar events and projects!

I like the sound of that too. As fun as it is to watch people stomp shit all the time, there's always much more too it than the final clip. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
"The films from 46 are made in a kind of special angle that makes the films more interesting for "everybody"" to watch.
Well, i tried to be positive but the angles are as good as what you get from matchstick or skifilm.com.

That's a spin on normal chat.
(I know, it's a PR release, they have to read like that)
Good start but let's see some brilliant follow cams and something new in the edits, that will really be different, otherwise nothing new, just good Swedish fun.
"The films from 46 are made in a kind of special angle that makes the films more interesting for "everybody" to watch"
means that the films are made with some different aspects from most of the extremesport-videos, not all though but most of them, not just in the visual creativity (shooting angles) but mostly in a different way of putting together the "story". It's not just 200 clips in a row, it's more like a story.
So.. The text in the pressrelease does not refer to the "filmers angles" when making the films!
