BIFF TV

Oh yeah...

Super travle dager, fulle av utfordringer og nye problemstillinger. BIFF (Bergen Internasjonale Film Festival) er godt i gang, og vi på sisteåret ved UiBs film- og tv-studie løper Bergen rundt for å produsere det vi så enkelt kaller BIFF TV. Kort og godt så er dette nettreportasjer og flerkameraproduksjoner hvor BIFFs program og besøkende står i fokus. Hva med å ta en titt? Klikk her!

Må jo ha noe som ikke har med BIFF å gjøre også, og hva passer vel bedre enn å drømme seg bort til havet?

Playing in the forest...

Yeah, that's what it's all about. Sunny days in october, in the otherwise very wet town, Bergen. Went out to do some dh-riding with Jarle yesterday, and luckily Torbjørn, Jesper and Øyvind tagged in with some camera's. Torbjørn and Jesper were shooting with a 5d MKII and a Canon EX1, and they got some pretty good shots. So stoked they could join us, as it is something we've been trying to realise for quite some time now.

Torbjørn's pretty eficient. He made a sweet little preview of his material, and it looks awesome! Stoked on watching the complete video with the 50p material from the EX1 as well in there.

Yup, enjoy!

Some cake?

Yeah, the never ending search around vimeo is a weekly business of mine. I've grown a small passion for animated films during the (almost) past year, and Yellow Cake (by Nick Cross) is a good example of how big topics and serious agendaes can be stressed or portrayed through a style or genre often related to kids and cartoons.

I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles?

NWD 10 - Brandon Semenuk part preview

Yeah, I recently mentioned Freeride Entertainments new mtb-movie that's coming out pretty soon. It's the 10th in the New World Disorder line, and here is a preview of the young, yet well established freerider, Brandon Semenuk's segment. Looks pretty sick!

Airports and stuff

I'm a big fan of airports! With their big glass and metal covered surfaces they seem to both hide and reveal so much stuff, and mute it all down into one big buzz.
























Over to some mtb stuff.

A mtb movie called Life Cycles will soon be released, and it looks really promising. Some of the most talented mtb-cinematographers and riders, all working to get a real tasty result. Aesthetic and awesome, both in the same film.

Here's a short "behind-the-film"-video.

NWD 10 - Teaser

Yeah, you might have seen this. It's not some flashy new stuff, but it is certainly one hella good teaser. Reckon the film will be sick!

More 7D

Yeah, I recently wrote about my cravings for Canon 5D mkII and Canon 7D. Two beautiful cameras that both do pretty well at HD-recordings.

Found this vimeo-video just now, and this guy certainly states that 7D is not like any other DSLR-cameras. Looks more like some sci-fi weapon if you ask me...

Goodiebag

Just picked up a goodiebag for my Santa Cruz V10. Decided I'd give the frame a little treat, so I rang up the local SC dealer and ordered a kit of new bearings, bolts, and other sweets that will make the bike feel like new again.
















Stripped down the forks last week as well, giving it some new oil and dustwipers. Was way easier than expected, even though it did feel a bit scary. I'll put out some photos next time I'll do it.

Soon ready for some serious mud-rippin' action in the local woods, goal being we might be shooting some of it and putting it into a short film. So, watch out!

Film of the weekend

Yeah, I thought I should start up with something new. Calling it film of the weekend, and there's really no criterias for what films that might be...
This weekend though, it is time for a MTB film. "What's Next?" is made by Aaron LaRocque, and it contains some really good riding. All captured with great cinematography. Have a look:
