The Line – Elyse Saugstad

Chris — Sat, 23 Jan 2016 21:33:06 +0000

I recently finished editing my first Television show for the team over at Mountain Resort Television. “The Line” is an award winning documentary style TV show, highlighting the stories of action and adventure sports athletes. This was my first project editing a long format TV show and it was a really great experience. Most web based videos are 1-5 minutes long max, for this show we had to provide 22 minutes of edited content, ready for broadcast. At times editing would become slightly overwhelming, shorting through the huge amounts of raw footage and interview content. However, this also helped to shape a detailed voice track from the interviews and then focus on adding in B-Roll to cover the interview shots. We used a basic 3 Act story structure, creating a few small scenes that would combine to form the act or pieces of the main story line.

Here’s what the finished 30 minute timeline looked like in Adobe Premiere Pro (Click to enlarge)

This episode of “The Line” featured professional big mountain skier Elyse Saugstad. Elyse is a hard charging skier that combines fast fluid lines and big airs. She also has a very interesting story from being married to a professional skier, or to surviving an avalanche. Elyse provided some amazing footage and I really enjoyed picking through it and finding the best shots to tell the story. You can view the finished show below.

Overall, I’m very excited with how this episode turned out and I just wrapped editing on my next episode featuring professional big mountain snowboarder Ralph Backstorm, so stay tuned. Special thanks to John Considine, the show’s Director/Editor for bringing me on to help out. Also, thanks to Mountain Resort Television, Producers Jason Abram and JT Holmes.

Kirkwood – The Dispatch

It’s my third year shooting and editing the weekly “Dispatch” videos for Kirkwood Mountain Resort and so far it’s been the best season so far. As everyone knows it’s been a tough time in the snow department around the Tahoe region the past few seasons. We have been blessed by mother nature with some classic Tahoe winter storms, with constant refills of fresh powder every week. It’s been way over due, it’s nice to see the excitement and feel the energy around town again. Here’s to more fun filled powder days.

It’s been a great season working with the team out at Kirkwood and all the talented athletes I’m lucky enough to shoot with. We’ve had some amazing days out searching for that Kirkwood Deep!

Here’s a few of my favorite days and here’s to more fun filled powder days.

It’s that time of year again, the days grow shorter, the nights starts getting colder and that feeling of anticipation for winter is in the air. That past couple of winters here in Tahoe have been far below normal snow pack and left many us locals wondering when the elusive Tahoe winter will return. The constant hype of a Godzilla El Nino lining up to hit this winter has everyone’s nerves on edge…could this be the year we’ve been waiting for? Will it be too warm? Is it going to miss us to the south? That’s the beauty of nature, it’s an adventure, we have to wait and see how the winter plays out.

For the past two winter seasons I’ve work with the marketing team to produce, shoot and edit the weekly current conditions videos. It’s been a fun time learning to shoot at a new mountain, unfortunitly the deep pow days have been few and far between. Fingers crossed for this year, I can’t wait to capture a true blue bird Kirkwood deep powder day.

Snow or no snow, Kirkwood Mountain Resort is fired up and ready for winter and to kick things off right their hosting the first annual Kirkwood Deep Riders Poll awards. A free night of fun and stoke at Slims in San Francisco on November 6th. Check out their Facebook page to get your tickets.

Here’s a little promo I edited for the party.
