Utah Shred-Tacular 2009 Film

Wow... So when I said last Sunday I would have this posted by Monday, I was obviously completely full of shit. I thought it would be a quick edit, throw in some tunes and voila! A tasty shred film. Well, there were so many clips to go through, I spent about 5 hours alone just sorting through everything and deciding what I wanted to us. Throw in riding all week, filming with my buddies Tom and Justin, hanging with The Mustachios and filming with them while they were here, drinking my weight in PBR on St. Patties day, and spending hours in a couple Breckenridge hotels editing, and it took a few days... Shit, lay off me.

All in all, from the first clip import to finally exporting the film, I would say it took me about 30 hours to create. There were a couple times when I sat staring at the screen for an hour or so trying to decide which direction I wanted to go artistically. Do I want a Kubrick or Malick style visual masterpiece? Or an epic Scorsese like story? Ha! There were also hours spent fine tuning, trimming, matching the clips to the music, and making sure overall it had a nice flow. When I was done I watched it about 5 times all the way through, adding or fixing some little things each time.

So here it is, finally. The Utah Shred-Tacular 2009 road trip film. This was such a fun trip with some awesome people. Shay, Drew, Stephanie, and Emily really made it a blast. I think I did a pretty good job of portraying what the trip was all about and how much fun everyone had. There were some very funny moments... Falls, seizure dancing, deer chasing, among others that Shay and I were able to capture on film. None of us are pro shreds, we're all just a bunch of people who love snowboarding and are always looking to have a good time. Hope you like it!

The film is a little under 25 minutes so it's better to let it load for a bit before you start watching it.

I hope there are some 2001: A Space Odyssey fans out there... Dig it.
