Three shorts from Sean...

Here's three shorts from a guy called Sean Mullens. Have no idea who he is, but I like his work and style.

Spring is finally here

Trickling water and patches of dirty snow... Spring is certainly here, and in a couple of weeks the hills will once again be ready for some shredding.

Coastal Crew - webisode 4

Mens snøen laver ned i Norge og Bergen er det ellers nokså snøsikre steder som nyter godt av en litt mer bar vinter. I Canada har vinteren vært mer snøfattig enn på lenge, noe som gjør at gutta i Coastal Crew får ekstra mange dager på setet.

Danny MacAskill filming for "Perfect Moment"

It seems that the scottish trials bike rider, Danny MacAskill keeps on breaking new ground when it comes to bike riding abilities. Here he is in a short behind the scenes video from watch26tv...

Taking it slow!

In case you feel that sunday is the day where things slow down a bit...

Let the summer begin!

The snow's still around, but in my head: summer has already begun.
In a couple of months Anthill films will release their first/new film, Follow Me.
Here is the official teaser...

Jackass stunt

Friends of mine were out filming some jackass-stuff, when this happened:

OK Go - This Too Shall Pass

Rather awesome video from OK Go. It must have been a cool project to work with!

Cypher Vision

My friend Cam sent me a link to a Quicksilver short called Cypher Vision. Not lame!
Check it out:

Nike on the moon?

Schladming schmadning

Would be awesome to try out the dh-track in Schladming. Callum Swift presents a summary from the last DH WC-round of 2009...

Songs and music videos... Epic x 2

Earlier this week I had my first listen to Vampire Weekend's new album, Contra. An awesome CD, and towards the end of the album the song Giving Up The Gun starts playing. The song is absolutely epic, just bursting with life! That was epic 1.

Epic 2 just revealed itself through vimeo, with a new music video release from Jónsi. Jónsi, or Jon Þór Birgisson, is the lead singer and guitarist from Sigur Rós. And, on the 5th of april he will release his debut solo-album. The song Go Do is great. Well... Great doesn't seem to be a fair description, so let's just say that it's epicly great! In addition to that, it's music video is absolutely stunning. Great cinematography, awesome scenary and weird scenography! Stunnygraphic let's say... By far the most interesting and well edited piece I've seen in a long time!

I know you'll wanna watch it again. Do it...

You can read more about Jónsi at jonsi.com

Oh, here's an accoustic version:

Jónsi: Go Do (Acoustic session, WNYC 2010) by Jónsi

Snart sommer eller?

Håper iallefall det.

Milano...

Went to Milano couple of weeks back, being an awesome ending to a great x-mas vacation.
All the sights and tourism apart, it's a town with great atmosphere and it boasts an excessive amount of places where you'll find the "best meal in your life". There'll be some photos up soon.
























San Siro, watching AC Milan beat Sienna. Rather epic, actually.

Can't wait

Can't wait to see Follow Me, which most certainly looks like it might become the best mtb-film of the decade. Anthill keeps publishing short "behind-the-scenes" vids, and the amount of work they seem to be putting down is tremendeous.

And then there's Life Cycles, another great MTB-film to be released in 2010. This will be a sick year for mtb-videos.

The Third & The Seventh

Dette er en relativt episk video. Den har ligget på vimeo.com sin HD-forside en stund, og den er virkelig noe alle burde se. Rent estetisk overgår det det meste; med fantastiske bildekomposisjoner og bevegelser. Trykk play, blås det opp i fullskjerm, nyt.

Det værste av alt. Det er animert.

Canon 1D MKIV - the beginning of the end?

It might look like that digital slr's, such as the 1D mkIV, the 5DmkII and the 7D could be the end of expensive semi-pro larger HD-cameras. At least I would say so. Take a look at "Nocturne"... A digital short, shot with the 1D mkIV, at 1080p, at 6400 and 3200 asa, with no outside light sources. The cinematography and the quality is just immense! You have to watch this in HD and in fullscreen!

Random christmas pictures

Yeah,

Two weeks of holiday is just about to pass, and tomorrow it's back to Bergen.
Here's a few shots from the christmas of '09, a time where the camera was mostly left alone.
Luckily most of norway saw a pretty big snowfall just before christmas, which again gave some pretty good conditions at the local ski-areas.

Happy new year!

Here's some entertainment for ya'll... It's made by Stian Hafstad and Christer Larsen, and as usual: it's very good!





And now, over to something completely different:

I came across this vimeo-video today, and I was blown away by the effect of the Redhead Windscreen that was used on the H4. Almost to the extent that I take it for being a scam, even though I hope that it's not.
