Southern Alchemy

If Voluerz taught us anything, its that skiers and boarders can be friends.

I have been the video intern at Camp of Champions for the past two summers.

To answer the question once and for all, yes.

Southern Alchemy

In keeping with the local theme, all music used is from local artists.

I’ve also written a script for batch processing the files and learned about developing for magic lantern.

I think the results were worth it.

We knew a big storm was in the forecast so we started making tentative plans.

The polar vortex had already given us little tastes of what might be in store this time.

You may question why I think I wouldn’t be able to make the drive.

After all, it is only 4 inches in Chapel Hill and it had just started snowing.

Let me respond with a picture taken in Raleigh, NC that afternoon.

Enormous cluster fuck on I-40

I can attest to the accuracy of this picture.

SIDE NOTE:

Did anyone notice when Garrett tried to eat a fry through his face mask?

You better believe that shit made it into the film.

Its not at all as easy as he makes it look.

Cory Haberstock on Thunder Bolt Knob

This, too, was an awesome adventure to go on.

A completely spontaneous mission that was prompted by getting blasted by the formidable snowmaking power of Cataloochee.

Because of the huge file sizes, the film took 14 hours to render out.

I’m pretty happy with the result.

I have to thank all my friends who helped and supported and gave their input.

Especially Garrett for letting me stay on his couch so many weekends this winter.
