Dipper Opens

Heavenly’s snowmakers continue to cover more runs with snow. The newest run to open is Big Dipper. I went out with three models early morning and captured them ripping up the new run. Thanks to Amy McCormick, Billy Newmen and Richard Jameson for helping me get some great footage.
This was another beautiful Tahoe blue bird day however it was cold, the temperature was zero degrees during the shoot.

Opening Day

Heavenly’s earliest opening day in years, plus some of the best snow I’ve skied this early. With the hard work of Heavenly’s Snowmakers, Heavenly is the first Ski Resort open in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The video team was in full effect. Dane Henry headed up the hill with three models, and captured some amazing skiing. I stayed down in the village and shot around the gondola. Beautiful morning of filming, a blue bird day, complemented by a light blanket of snow left from overnight.

Snowmakers 2

We just wrapped production on the second episode of “The Snowmakers”, a web series for Heavenly Mountain Resort. Dane Henry and myself headed up the Mountain at 6am to capture the sunrise and start the day of filming with the day crew. After the some coffee and the usual truck ride up the mountain, we were greeted with 20-foot mounds of snow. Truly amazing how much snow they had produced in a couple short days. We were escorted around on snowmobiles to check out the progress on Orion’s run. Another exciting day filming and cruising around the mountain.

Sunrise Timelapse

This short timelapse was taken while filming the second episode of “The Snowmakers”. Dane and I got up on the mountain at 7am to film the sunrise. It was a great morning

Snowmakers 1

Dane Henry and myself just finished shooting the first episode of “The Snowmakers” for Heavenly Mountain Resort. What a treat to be up on the mountain at night, a unique experience. After a 25-minute truck ride up, the night of shooting began at Adventure Peak at the top of the gondola. This a cold spot on the mountain, and usually a starting point for the swing shift. Cold and wet night of shooting, the camera and me are still drying out. Captured on two Panasonic Hvx 200’s.
Here is Dane’s amazing edit.

Fire and Lights

I headed down to my old stomping grounds at Ski Run Marina for a little sunset shoot. When I arrived at the marina, I headed down towards the beach, nothing down there really stuck my fancy. Discouraged I headed back to my truck, as I looked up saw the fire pit. Having spent many summer nights by it, I thought I would do it a little justice. Pulled out my tripod, flipped my camera to 60p and got creative. I conformed all the footage from 60fps to 30fps in cinema tools. Nice effect, happy with the out come.
