A few weeks ago Levi and I went to shoot a little bit at Keystone before the parks closed. Levi unfortunately ended up undershooting the step up, but thankfully only got a concussion from the pretty hard crash.
Pete and I wanted to make a trendy edit but I was too lazy to do it the right way so I just added a bunch of filters to make it look super chill.
It's a tiny ski movie, watch it if you like tiny ski movies.

Here's my take on what went down in the park during Newschoolers week at Windells camp.
Scout and I filmed a couple times this winter and we were very happy to get a lotta good shots, but then it all went sad when a springtime crash relieved him of an intact ACL - Which is now apparently the doc's lie, Scott's got a strained MCL and bone bruising instead. Get well soon Scott!
Also shoutout Tom Christie for insp.
A handful of paper and digital rotoscoped animations of my friends' skiing - sourced from video clips by myself and by Alex Havey. Thanks to Max Moffatt and Pepe Gay for inspiration.
