This is a video section that I directed and shot for Wille Yli-Luoma. Wille is a good friend and one of my favorite snowboarders. He is full of life and adventure. It was always exciting to go on a trip and explore with him.

This particular year for my film Picture This we had a few new things that we wanted to accomplish. One of which was a night powder section. And Wille was up for the challenge.

On a trip to Cooke City, MT we stopped in bozeman and loaded up with supplies. There are usually plenty of down days in Cooke City due to the weather. But this time we wanted to make use of them. The first five days were socked in with white out conditions that make it difficult to see anything in the day. But as luck would have it it seemed to clear up every night. So we slept in the day and snowboarded at night.

Most of these locations are 10+ miles out in the back-country. The only way to access them is with snowmobiles. Leaving our cabin at 5pm and getting back around 4am. Dragging all the lights, generators, dollies and cameras without breaking them every night was a challenge to say the least. Add to that temperatures that were averaging -25 Celsius and you can imagine just how difficult it was. To this day I think it still might have been the hardest shoot I have done. All that and it was just for Wille's intro.

But all that aside... It was a blast!

As for the rest of the section it showcases Wille doing what he does best... Snowboarding!

Hope you enjoy!

The global village, a declaration of principles which invites to reflection about the task of communication in the XXIst century.

The serene upland farm of Llyndy Isaf, on the shores of Llyn Dinas, is unique in Snowdonia, untouched by intensive farming and home to threatened wildlife of international importance. Sitting within the Nant Gwynant pass, offering 600 acres of extraordinary and peaceful haven for people to get close to nature – and enjoy quiet pursuits such as hiking, kayaking and sailing.

Upon the retirement of the current owner, the National Trust, with the generous support of the public, aims to acquire this land. If successful, protecting it from the commercial market, and the impending development that would follow. The tranquil atmosphere could easily be shattered.

This portrait of the area captures that tranquility.

A MINI ADDICTION

An Automotive film about addictions in life.

The concept of this experimental video is about a passion for the automotive industry and how it isn't, at all, a bad addiction. Quite the contrary. Its an addiction you can be proud of. Some would say, anything that is an addiction is bad. I disagree. The passion for cars is more than a hobby. It becomes a lifestyle. Something to treasure.

This short experimental motion piece is the result of a 24h production timeframe.
In 2 days I came up with a storyline and were out and shooting all the scenes. The results are quite satisfying. The combination of my videography background and Pedro Freitas amazing photographic skills, we were able to create this video which was shot entirely in Madeira Island's beautiful mountains and we managed to get a mood and atmosphere across by capturing some stunning foggy scenery footage.

As one would expect, 24h isn't a lot of time to produce a video, therefore a lot of amendments were made in post-production using After Effects.

The editing and post-production stages took quite a while due to my MA Motion Graphics course (which I've have just finished). I was exceedingly busy and didn't have time to work on this project. A couple of days ago I decided to finish it off.

Last but not least I would like to thank everyone involved and that helped us during the process. Sandra Guerreiro and Fátima Neto for their presence in the video. Guilherme Mimoso and Gil Freitas for their production help and Pedro Freitas the 2º Director of Photography of this video. Check out his work at www.pedrofreitasphoto.com
