Parker White and Chris Logan are no strangers to the ski industry.
Prior to their current project, the duo filmed with Level 1.
Now they’ve shifted their focus to big mountain, and are putting out episodes documenting their experiences.
This year’s release is called MTN REVISED.
Chris Logan:“The Big Picture” is actually the name of our film company.
We have been putting out web edits throughout the season for the past two season.
Our first season was I guess the Zero series.
This season was the Mtn Revision series.

NS: This is part of a series on your website.
Why release them all for free?
PW:We release it for free so that it’s accessible for anyone and everyone to watch.
CL:We release all of the edits for free to get as many eyes on them as possible.
Make it easy for them to watch, all you have to do is click play.
NS: What’s the importance of a short film versus being involved in a full length one?
CL:They are both important and both unique in their own way with a different feel or style.
Different strokes for different folks.
What we want to do is pump out edits throughout the season as they are taking place.
The footage you watch from us is filmed that month, or that week.
I feel that sometimes when that happens things get lost in their minds or overlooked.
Maybe not appreciated as much.
PW:There certainly are more of them with more people interested and hyped on skiing.
That and the accessibility of cameras and content on the web.
I think large film companies will always have their place.
I’m not saying one way is right or wrong or that one will definitely prevail over the other.
They’re just different.
I hope they keep doing that and look forward to watching those just like so many others do.
PW:Our project is primarily skiing backcountry / powder.
We’ve both been living out west for close to 8 years now.
CL:The west has given us more opportunities.
If we did on the east then the edits would be much different.
Little to no pow probably and way more urban influenced.

NS: How has your style evolved throughout this series?
Get outside of our comfort zone and find new things that continue to scare us.
NS: Can we expect more episodes this season?
PW:Yeah we’re in for another series this year, stoked.
