For him, a highlight of this trend was his entry to the WCS7 team video contest.
How did you feel about the video once it was finished?
Shane:I love how that video came out and I still get hyped watching it now.
The camera’s are 20 years old and there’s too many old moving parts inside.
I made this video the following winter and went through two different VX1000 cameras.
I would also duct tape handwarmers all over the camera and keep the spare batteries in my underwear.
I sent one camera away to get completely rebuilt and a bunch of shots still got ruined.
Many people think that there are too many edits on NS right now that all look the same.
What is your opinion?
Shane:I don’t think that opinion is new.
Maybe more people are making videos now, so there’s just more middle of the road content?
I know I don’t have the attention span to watch most of NS anymore.
If so what was that effect?
Shane:This made me laugh - maybe a very tiny bit?
I think I might have had a roll in persuading Jeff Kohnstamm to get an older camera?
It’s weird to think of any ski-video I’ve made to have affected anyone.
What would you say to skiers out there who are trying to make their edits stand out?
Shane:Utilize aspects of what influences you in finding your own voice.
Any comment on that now?
Shane:My mom says I swear too fucking much.
Hope that’s useful, let me know if there’s anything else I can do.
Good luck with your new show!
